If you have been obsessed with Heated Rivalry since the show came out and you also love a fashion spectacle, you've probably spent weeks wondering if Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams are going to the Met Gala 2026 — and now you can finally have the truth. Will they be among the celebs not attending the 2026 Met Gala?
We might never know how Stonehenge was made or what Selena Gomez actually whispered to Taylor Swift and Keleigh Sperry at the 2024 Golden Globes, but we know this, and that’ll have to be enough.
It's not all fun and games at fashion's biggest night.
Ever since Heated Rivalry premiered, Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams have become bona fide stars. In just a couple of months, the duo went from unknown to staples at events like the Golden Globes, the Oscars, the Actor Awards, and beyond, so we didn'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 both Storrie and Williams definitely fit the bill. Aside from their rising star in the world of acting, there’s also the fact that both of them have 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, which both Connor and Hudson certainly are.
Are Hudson and Connor attending the Met Gala 2026?
Connor Storie made a grand entrance to the Met Gala 2026, stepping out in a sleek Saint Laurent black suit paired with an eye-catching polka dot scarf, immediately drawing attention as he exited The Carlyle Hotel en route to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Also in Saint Laurent? Zoë Kravitz, who arrived without her fiancé, Harry Styles.
Connor elevated the look with a Tiffany & Co. Fleurage brooch featuring “a rubellite of over 3 carats and diamonds,” according to Town & Country. He also wore a ruby and diamond ring, two additional brooches, and Tiffany huggie earrings. He's repping both his brands: Tiffany and Saint Laurent.
As for his on-screen partner, Hudson Williams arrived at the Met Gala shortly after, delivering a look that leaned fully into drama. He wore Black Swan–inspired eye makeup, paired with a beautifully embroidered blue jacket, worn open over a relaxed shirt and matching trousers. Styled by Bulgari, it was the perfect Met Gala debut.
What have Hudson and Connor been doing since Heated Rivalry?
Connor 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 PFW in its name.
She has a long history with fashion's big night out.
“I’ll have Breakfast all over your Tiffany’s munch munch munch yum yum yum,” his Heated Rivalry co-star Hudson commented on his Tiffany announcement post.
Hudson Williams is also making 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 then, he also took over MFW with his style, attending the Armani show and captivating the likes of Donatella Versace.
The pair presented an award together at the 2026 Golden Globes, cracking some Heated Rivalry jokes in the process, and Hudson appeared in Laufey's new music video alongside Alysa Liu and Megan Skiendiel.
Heated Rivalry season two is in the works, but filming won't start until August, so our hockey bros were free to attend tonight's event.
