Strike a pose. The stage is set for Denver in 2026.  

The Denver Art Museum is debuting an iconic fashion experience coming in October 2026.  

Organized by The Victoria and Albert Museum, the world’s largest museum of decorative arts and design, and touring around the world, Denver will be the only U.S. venue to receive the highly anticipated international exhibition.  

The exhibit will feature more than 200 objects, like a pair of heeled shoes worn by Prince, and over 50 show-stopping costumes worn be celebrities and fashion legends.  

The exhibit will feature pieces from Marilyn Monroe to a look from Rihanna’s dazzling Met  Gala appearance in 2018 and even the famous Bob Mackie “Flame Dress” comissioned by Tina Turner and worn in 1978.  

The exhibit is designed to display the glamour, power and history of fashion through its iconic and recognizable pieces.  

With pieces from Maria Callas dating back to the 19th and 20th century to modern-day icons, the showcase celebrates the power and creativity of costumes and fashion pieces, and reflecting on their cultural impact.  

The show case will be held at the Hamilton Building, on Level 2 of the Denver Arts Museum, and the event will be an exclusive, ticketed event. 

Tickets go on sale summer 2026. 

The exhibit will run from October 4, 2026, through January 10, 2027.
