Hugh Jackman has faced criticism after attending the 2026 Met Gala with his new girlfriend Sutton Foster.
The couple made their official debut at the event, arriving together on the red carpet at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Foster, attending the gala for the first time, wore a shimmering gown, while Jackman opted for a classic black tuxedo.
However, their appearance has sparked backlash online, with some critics accusing Jackman of moving on too publicly following his split from ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness.
Others criticised the couple’s fashion choices, with some social media users calling their looks «safe» or «boring» for an event known for bold creativity.
Despite the criticism, the pair’s appearance also marked a milestone in their relationship, which became public in 2025 after they worked together on Broadway.
The mixed reaction highlights how celebrity relationships and personal lives continue to draw scrutiny, even on one of fashion’s biggest nights.
