Anna Wintour's awkward word salad response when asked about race leaves Met Gala 2025 fans 'dizzy'
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour 's awkward word salad response to a question on allyship left Met Gala fans 'dizzy' in a new video Monday.
The fashion icon and Met Chairperson, 75, shockingly dropped her signature shades as she stopped for a chat with The Cut - which led to a rambling explanation when asked about allyship.
Allyship refers to active support for the rights of a minority or marginalized group without being a member of it - which can refer to race, religion, sexual orientation, or nationality.
When asked 'how do you use fashion to create allyship?' a stoic Wintour responded: 'I think fashion is a language. like music is a language
'And its a global language, so I think an event like tonight will have a global resonance.
'We have guests coming from all over the world so whether you're in India, in Asia.

'Sorry, Japan or Europe or whatever, there will be many people here that you will know and recognize.
'So I think trying to reach everyone with the important message of this event is so important.'
Fans were left baffled by the answer with one writing: 'She made us dizzy without telling us anything.'
Others wrote: 'She has no idea what party she's at. She still had all day to have it written out for her. But love that he got something that resembled an answer.
'she didn't answer the question though.
'Did she answer the question? Allyship?'
Fashion's biggest night out kicked off with plenty of glamour and glitz on Monday, May 5th at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Sadie Sink arrived in a dramatic black lace look, with her signature rock locks pulled back into a chic updo.
Gigi Hadid glittered in a gold halter dress, complete with ruching along her waist.
Teyana Taylor made a dramatic arrival in a burgundy and black suit and cape, complete with a feathered hat.
Fans were left baffled by the answer with one writing: 'She made us dizzy without telling us anything.'
Sydney Sweeney donned a figure-hugging sparkling black dress, featuring a large cut-out detail over her chest.
The busty blonde's frock had a statement silver brooch along the neckline and textured short sleeves.
The Euphoria actress wore her golden locks in an updo with several strands styled over her forehead.
Meanwhile, Zuri Hall and Emma Chamberlain both opted for pinstripe dresses.
The annual invite-only event has a theme each year, with this year's theme as 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' inspired by Monica Miller's work, which includes her book Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
Monica is the chair of Africana Studies at Barnard College, as well as a professor at the institute.
According to Monica, Black dandyism is 'a strategy and a tool to rethink identity, to reimagine the self in a different context. To really push a boundary - especially during the time of enslavement, to really push a boundary on who and what counts as human, even,' via Vogue.
The 2025 gala theme focuses on menswear, 22 years after the 'Men In Skirts' theme - which was the first gala to focus only on menswear.
The Met Gala 2025 will be co-chaired by Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour, with Lebron James as the honorary chair.

ASAP Rocky rushes to support Rihanna after tragic death of her dad
Singer A$AP Rocky was spotted in New York rushing to be by pregnant Rihanna's side after her father, Ronald Fenty, died at the age of 70 following a brief illness Rihanna's boyfriend, singer A$AP Rocky, rushed to be by her side after tragically losing her father. Rihanna's dad, Ronald Fenty, has died aged 70 in Los Angeles following a brief illness, according to reports. The pop icon, who shares two sons, RZA, 2, and Riot, 1, with A$AP Rocky, has reportedly been supported by her partner throughout this difficult time. The rapper was spotted in New York, where Rihanna is also staying. The musician stepped out in all-black attire, consisting of some cropped black jeans, a dark t-shirt and a black leather bomber jacket. He completed the look with some sunglasses and chunky jewelry. A$AP Rocky was snapped with his assistant, who covered him with an umbrella as he walked to a car where he reportedly made his way back to his family. Ronald and Rihanna had a turbulent relationship. However, he previously opened up on how much she is loving mum life. The pop star's father told Page Six: 'She's loving it. She's a very overprotective mother', before joking that the baby looks like him. He added: 'Everybody says [the baby] looks like me, but you know, babies change, faces change. He [resembles] a lot of Rihanna and Rocky together.' Rihanna previously paid for her father to attend a $58,000 Malibu rehab following a difficult period in their relationship that saw her send him home from her tour due to his alcohol abuse. Ronald was also the subject of a lawsuit filed by his daughter, who accused him of misusing her name to benefit his own entertainment company; however, she later dropped the lawsuit. Rihanna announced her third pregnancy earlier this month when she attended the 2025 Met Gala, following many rumours that another baby was on the way. After keeping fans guessing by wearing baggy clothes, Rihanna used her fitted two-piece to make the big announcement at the 2025 gala. The singer is building quite a reputation for delivering iconic pregnancy announcements after she announced her second pregnancy while performing at the Super Bowl. Her dad reportedly had "no idea" his daughter was expecting a second baby at the time and is thought to have 'found out while watching the Super Bowl'. TMZ reported Ronald said: "Oh my God! My baby girl looks pregnant', while recalling the moment that he watched her perform the halftime show.

Sydney Sweeney opens up about living in a Holiday Inn for eight months as a teen after her parents went bankrupt - as her jaw-dropping property portfolio is revealed
Sydney Sweeney opened up about having to live in a Holiday Inn for eight months as a teenager after her parents were declared bankrupt. The Euphoria star, 27, is now a multi-million dollar success story after making it in acting with roles in Anyone But You, The White Lotus and The Handmaid's Tale. But back before hitting the big time her family found themselves in hard times when her mother, Lisa, a criminal defence lawyer, her father who worked in hospitality were declared bankrupt. In 2013 when she was 16, her parents who are now divorced, sold their home in Washington and for eight months she lived in a hotel with them and her brother. She told The Times of her tough childhood: 'We lived in the Holiday Inn in Burbank [northwest LA] for eight and a half months but it felt like my entire life. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'We were sharing a one-bedroom hotel room, no kitchen, no balcony. A pull-out sofa bed, where my dad and brother slept, my mom and me in the bed… My brother and I tried to make the best of it - we would joke around and say we were in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. 'We'd run around the different hallways and find stairwells and make friends with all the staff and they would make us grilled cheese.' In a far cry from her beginnings Sydney now boasts an incredible property portfolio after finding her own financial success thanks to her movie and TV work. She owns a £4.5million Bel Air home, another Tudor-style home in LA that is worth £3.3million. Sydney then has a £10.2million compound in the Florida Keys as well as several back home in the Pacific Northwest. She went on to tell the times that she is also currently looking at places to buy in New York, Texas, Italy and London. In the interview Sydney kept her answers short and sweet when asked about the status of her relationship with Jonathan Davino. The actress, who has been selling soap made with her bathwater, made the revelations while speaking with The Times about her upcoming series Echo Valley. In 2013 when she was 16, her parents who are now divorced, sold their home in Washington and for eight months she lived in a hotel with them and her brother The Euphoria star, who was seen without her engagement ring in February, came clean about the breakup when asked if she was planning a wedding. 'No,' was the answer. She answered 'yes,' when asked if she was single, adding, 'I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it.' She and Davino, 41, had been together since 2018 and got engaged in 2022. He was a producer on her successful romcom, Anyone But You, co-starring Glen Powell. She and the 36-year-old Texan had such chemistry in the film that many wandered if they were a couple at the time, especially since they decided to lean into the spark while promoting the movie. For now, Sweeney is happy to share snuggles and go on outdoor activities with her dogs Sully Bear and Tank, work on restoring vintage cars, and create a real estate empire. It comes as some Sydney fans have not reacted warmly to her latest brand partnership — a limited-edition Dr. Squatch soap bar containing her used bathwater. The Spokane, Washington-bred actress announced the item, called Bathwater Bliss, on Thursday, sparking backlash from her 25 million Instagram followers who called the product 'weird' and 'gross.' And on Friday, she subtly trolled the critics as she stepped out in a white bathrobe while on set for a campaign with HEYDUDE shoes. According to the Squatch brand, the soap contains actual droplets of Sydney's used bathwater. It's meant to be a nod to her Pacific Northwest roots and a cheeky answer to the internet's obsession with the blonde bombshell, per GQ. In Thursday's social media post, Sydney wrote in the caption, 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it. 'Introducing Sydney's Bathwater Bliss! A very real, very limited-edition soap made with my actual bathwater. Available on 6/6/25 at ✨.' One fan wrote under the photo of the product — which features an animation of the beauty — 'Sydney honey I love you but I don't know about this.' In her interview with GQ, the Euphoria sensation said, 'I honestly think it's a really fun, full-circle moment, because fans always joke about wanting my bathwater…' Plugging the soap, she described, 'It's super soft, it's really pretty. I'm looking at it right now. It's marbly and has blues and a little bit of brown in it.' Amid the pushback, one delighted fan joked in a comment, 'Thanks, I'll take 100,' and collected nearly 3,000 likes. Someone else wrote facetiously, 'This is edible, right?' Others were in disbelief, with one social media user commenting, 'no way this is a real thing.' Meanwhile, another wrote, 'Hey, so let's be serious,' while a different person begged, 'Can we not normalize this.'
