If you have been obsessed with Heated Rivalry since the show debuted and you also love a fashion spectacle, you are probably wondering if Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams will attend the Met Gala 2026—and things are looking good. Both stars were spotted in New York City over the weekend, making their Met Gala debut seem likely.
Ever since Heated Rivalry premiered, Storrie and Williams have become bona fide stars, and fashion has taken notice. In just a couple of months, the duo went from being relatively unknown to staple attendees at events like the Golden Globes, the Oscars, the Actor Awards, and more. We don’t see why the Met Gala would be an exception.
Traditionally, the Met Gala invites some of the most exciting talent of the moment, and Storrie and Williams definitely fit that bill. Aside from their rising stars in the realm of acting, there’s also the fact that each has been rubbing shoulders with the fashion elite and securing brand deals while doing so. Lest we forget, it is often brands that pay for tables at the Met Gala and get their darlings on the red carpet.
Storrie is officially a Tiffany & Co. house ambassador, and, though no official announcement has been made other than a confirmation via GQ, he’s also been a face for Saint Laurent, donning the brand’s clothes and attending Paris Fashion Week in its name.
Williams is also creating big waves in the fashion world. After making his runway debut with Dsquared2 in January, courtesy of fellow Canadians Dean and Dan Caten, the star was named a friend of the house at Balenciaga in February. He also sat front row at PFW and wore a custom suit to the Oscars. Before that, he took over Milan Fashion Week with his style, attending the Armani show and captivating the likes of Donatella Versace.
The Met Gala invite list is top secret, but given the moves Storrie and Williams have been making in fashion and beyond, we have a feeling they will grace us with their presence on the first Monday in May. They would likely tackle the “Fashion Is Art” dress code with their stylists James Yardley and Anastasia Walker, and we can't wait to see what that could look like. Fingers crossed the rumors are true!
