*Bronwyn Newport Dazzles at the 2026 Met Gala: An Inside Look at Her Glamorous Preparations*

In the lead-up to the prestigious Met Gala, Bronwyn Newport, a prominent figure from *The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City*, shared her enchanting preparation process with PEOPLE. As the co-host for E!’s coverage of this iconic event, she provided fans with a glimpse into her evening filled with fashion, artistry, and a touch of indulgence.

Newport’s attire for the 2026 gala showcased both creativity and sustainability, crafted by the talented French designer Kevin Germanier. The gown, which was fashioned from upcycled plastics, harmonised perfectly with this year’s theme, “Costume Art,” and the dress code which encouraged attendees to explore the boundaries of fashion as a form of art.

The captivating festivities began with Newport’s meticulous grooming rituals, which she documented with a series of photographs. “Getting glam with two of my favourite artists,” Newport remarked, highlighting the importance of collaboration in achieving her desired look. She opted for sleek hair to balance the intricate details of her ensemble, while a hint of green shimmer on her eyes served as a playful nod to the gown’s vibrant hues.

In preparation for an event of such grandeur, Newport made sure to capture every moment, declaring, “Behind the scenes before we did a quick photo shoot in my room!” She relished the opportunity to showcase her dreamy look prior to making her appearance on the red carpet.

The Met Gala is a lengthy affair, commencing in the late afternoon and often extending past midnight. As such, Newport understood the importance of preserving her look throughout the night. “Last minute touch-ups before making my way to ‘E! Live from the Red Carpet’!” she noted, ensuring her hair and makeup remained flawless as she prepared to engage with attendees and viewers alike.

Recognising the demands of the evening, Newport also took crucial steps to energise herself with a pre-gala snack. “I needed to have a Panera Bread Chicken Caesar Salad Stuffer and a Cherry Lime Fresca to fuel up for the big night!” she revealed, highlighting the need for sustenance in the midst of the glamour.

With her final look coming together, Newport admired her make-up and expressed gratitude towards her glam team. “Face close up — my glam girls killed it!” she beamed, showcasing the effectiveness of their collaborative work. Her choice of soft glam — complete with a rosy blush and natural eye makeup — beautifully complemented the striking embellishments of her gown.

The star’s sheer green gown was a showstopper; it featured elaborate white floral appliqués that adorned both the bodice and skirt, accentuated by dramatic sleeves that doubled as gloves. Describing the creation, Newport said, “The dress is from a French designer, Kevin Germanier. He used sequins from recycled plastic bottles and raffia from repurposed grocery bags, highlighting sustainable luxury as an artistic statement.”

As the gala transitioned into the after-parties, Newport seamlessly changed into a second outfit that maintained the high energy of the evening. “Time to change into my second look — time for long hair!” she quipped, indicating her eagerness to continue the celebration. Her new ensemble promised to be as captivating as her first, demonstrating her flair for fashion.

For the afterparty, Newport dazzled in a rare Versace jumpsuit that paid homage to the original 1991 collection, further showcasing her commitment to artistic expression through wardrobe choices. “A tribute to the original 1991 collection for afterparties!” she shared excitedly, embracing the theme of fashion as art even in her later look.

Newport’s attendance at the Met Gala was not just a display of opulence but also a testament to the power of sustainable fashion. Her ability to merge artistry with environmental responsibility resonated with the evening’s overarching theme, making her a standout figure on this illustrious night. As she celebrated both the art of fashion and the joy of creative collaboration, Bronwyn Newport truly embodied the spirit of this year’s Met Gala.
