The annual gala theme is based on the museum’s featured exhibition, and for 2026, the “Costume Art” exhibit will explore fashion as a form of art. The event will focus on Western art from prehistory to the present, pairing garments and artworks from the museum’s collection to highlight the relationship between clothing and the human form.

The exhibition will be the first to be held in the museum’s newly opened Condé M. Nast Galleries, a space spanning nearly 12,000 square feet.

This marks yet another impressive milestone for the BLACKPINK star, whose influence continues to blossom in both the music and fashion industries.

In another achievement for the K-pop sensation, Lisa has been appointed as Thailand’s new tourism ambassador to promote the country’s culture and charm to international travellers.
