Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie have not been officially confirmed for the Met Gala 2026, but rumors of their possible appearance at the event continue to grow. Since Heated Rivalry premiered in late 2025, both actors have become two of the most talked-about new names in entertainment and social media. Their massive rise has already placed them in major events throughout this year and last year, such as the Golden Globes, the Oscars, and the Actor Awards.

The Met Gala invite list is always kept private, so fans may not know the final answer until the actual event takes place on May 4, 2026. Still, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie seem like strong possibilities because the event often welcomes figures in entertainment who are in the midst of a cultural moment. Their popularity from Heated Rivalry, combined with their recent presence in fashion spaces, makes the possibility of their attendance feel realistic.
Another reason for their appearance is the actors’ connection to fashion brands, which are known for bringing ambassadors to the red carpet. For example, Connor has been linked to fashion names like Tiffany & Co. and Saint Lauren. Similarly, Hudson made his runway debut with Dsquared2 in January 2026 and was named a friend of the house at Balenciaga in February 2026. In addition, he attended Paris Fashion Week and wore a custom suit to the Oscars. For now, fans are waiting for the first Monday in May, hoping that the rumors turn to be true.
