BritBox is bringing a new perspective to one of literature’s most beloved families withThe Other Bennet Sister. Adapted by Sarah Quintrell fromJanice Hadlow's 2020 novel of the same name, the series centers on Mary Bennet, the middle and most overlooked of the five sisters in Jane Austen’sPride and Prejudice.

Where the original novel keeps Mary firmly in the background, this adaptation follows her on a coming-of-age journey through Regency England as she works to define herself outside the shadow of her family and discover what happiness looks like on her own terms. “Mary’s journey is about trying to find some form of self-acceptance,” Quintrell says in the production notes. “It’s not about a makeover. It’s about a kid with no self-confidence, who has grown up in this family where there’s a particular hierarchy, and she’s got to work out who she is and what she’s going to do with her life.”

The cast is led by Ella Bruccoleri as Mary Bennet. “If a character like Mary is capable of learning to love herself, it’s possible for anyone to find that,” Bruccoleri says in the show notes. “She starts in a place of such self-hatred, and it’s not her fault. It’s everyone feeding her with this extreme rhetoric. Through her own actions, courage, and bravery, she ends up in a place where she has a lot of love for herself. It’s a really joyous story.”

Portraying her sisters Maddie Close as Jane, Poppy Gilbert as Elizabeth, Grace Hogg-Robinson as Lydia, and Molly Wright as Kitty. Venerable British actors Richard E. Grant and Ruth Jones step in as their less-than-affectionate parents in this version, contrasted by the lovable Gardiners, portrayed by Indira Varma and Richard Coyle. While this is a journey of self-discovery for Mary, there is, without question, a romance plot involving a bit of a love triangle. She’ll find herself wooed by Dónal Finn as Tom Hayward and Laurie Davidson as William Ryder.

Earlier in the evening, the Grammy winner shut down the red carpet in an Olivier Rousteing-designed naked gown covered in crystals in a skeleton motif. She paired it with an enormous blue and white feathered cape, crystal-embellished headpiece and hundreds of carats of Chopard diamonds, plus long curls down her back. She chose to collaborate with her longtime friend Rousteing, she said, because "I've done so many iconic looks with him, so it's really about representing him."

Beyoncé attended the star-studded gala alongside her 14-year-old daughter Blue Ivy and husband Jay-Z. "It feels surreal because my daughter's here. She looks so beautiful. It's incredible to be able to share with her; I think she looks so incredible," Beyoncé said onVogue's livestream.

The Grammy winner's appearance marked her first time at the Met Gala in a decade.

This year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Costume Institute will debut the spring 2026 exhibition "Costume Art," which is the same title as this year's Met Gala theme. "Costume Art," curated by Andrew Bolton, explores the dynamic between clothing and the body beneath, with the show organized into a series of thematic body types, ranging from the naked body to the pregnant body and the aging body.
