Y\u2019all can have come for the style and the looks, but Joshua Henry<\/strong> clearly got here to remind everyone this was also a stage. For the second 12 months in a row, the Met Gala paused its red carpet arrivals for a surprise gospel-style moment, as Henry\u2014currently within the revival of \u2018Ragtime\u2019\u2014took over the museum steps<\/a> with a gospel-infused rendition of Whitney Houston\u2019s \u2018I Wanna Dance With Someone.\u2019 Wearing a bright-red suit with silver detailing, he turned the doorway into an impromptu performance space while dancers in black suits backed him up, including one in an oversized cummerbund with a floral knot, ensuring the vocals, not only the outfits, had their moment.<\/p>\n Welcome to the 2026 MetGala!
