Don’t worry, darling: Olivia Wilde is ready to hit the Met steps.

Hours before the 2026 Met Gala in New York City May 4, the Booksmart director shared a glimpse into her very relatable preparations for fashion’s biggest night. 

Snapping a shot of herself on the subway in a blue baseball cap, a gray hoodie and a blue coat, she wrote, “Mentally preparing for the Met by practicing not ever sitting down or having to pee.”

Along with her hilarious game plan, the mom to Otis, 12, and Daisy, 9, with ex Jason Sudeikis—teased her glam for the annual gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the dress code being “Fashion Is Art.”

Showing off her nude, newly manicured nails in another Instagram Story, Olivia jokingly added, “Really have to stop taking such bold risks with my nail color.”

As for what celebs are keeping in mind for their evening’s looks? The Costume Institute’s curator Andrew Bolton said in a statement that “the dressed body is front and center in every gallery you come across. Even the nude is never naked. It’s always inscribed with cultural values and ideas.”
