What time will the MET Gala 2025 begin?
So what time does the magic begin, you ask? Doors to this couture carnival swung open at 5:30 p.m. ET sharp, and the star-studded arrivals will keep strutting through till 8 p.m. ET, serving us chaos, couture, and probably a few meme-worthy moments.

Who all were spotted before the MET?
Before the carpet walk even began, social media was already popping off. Fans and fashion sleuths spotted celebs leaving the iconic Carlyle Hotel, the unofficial pre-Met Gala HQ. Early glimpses included Jennie, Teyana Taylor and Emma Chamberlain, who wasted no time making the sidewalk their pre-carpet catwalk. Meanwhile, Bad Bunny and Priyanka Chopra were seen earlier in the day, clearly gearing up for a night of high fashion and hotter takes.

Column Domingo walked the blue carpet
But let us talk about the man of the moment, Colman Domingo, who absolutely devoured the theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style'. In a Valentino ensemble that screamed modern royalty, he rocked a vivid blue pleated cape with a sparkling silver chest piece—giving us ceremonial armour meets Met Gala majesty. Think: knight of high fashion realness.

Underneath all that glamour? A crisp black-and-white tweed combo. He paid tribute to the late André Leon Talley, whose iconic 2011 Met cape still lives rent-free in every fashion fan's head.

Shakespeare's plays have played major role in expanding Kannada consciousness: MVU VC
Dharwad: Vice-chancellor of Maharshi Valmiki University Shivanand Kelaginamani said translations of English works played a significant role in shaping Kannada literature in the pre-Navodaya period and Shakespeare's plays brought a new wave of excitement to Kannada literature and theatre. Inaugurating a lecture series on Shakespeare's plays, organised by Dharwad Katte in association with CVG Publications, Bengaluru, and Maharshi Valmiki University held at Bendre Bhavan in Dharwad he said their themes, sensibilities, language, and style expanded the creative possibilities of Kannada literature. Kannadigas, he said, welcomed Shakespeare's plays. Through adaptations, the Kannada language tried to make Shakespeare's works its own, he added. "Shakespeare is not a writer beyond question. Many philosophical crises are evident in his works," Kelaginamani remarked. "He was a problematic author. Both his life and writings carried complexities. Shakespeare spoke openly about the world but never uttered a word about himself. The central theme of his plays was exploration. He tried to understand the inner depths of the world. Hamlet was a meditative, contemplative mind and such a mind would never resort to murder," said writer RG Hegde. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mix 3 Kitchen Ingredients, Wake Up Thinner Every Morning Get Fit Today Click Here Undo Venkatagiri Dalawai opined that the problem with Kannada's engagement with Shakespeare lies in knowing him only through English. "Shakespeare must be accessed in Kannada itself, so that Kannadigas can truly own him. He had many disagreements with Christianity and Christians. His plays were not author-centric, they were centred on the work itself," he said. Prof Basavaraj Donur observed that Shakespeare's plays offer solutions to numerous philosophical, social, religious, moral, political, literary, and cultural crises in India. "The contemporary relevance of his plays is astonishing. Shakespeare was a rare genius that the world has seen. No other author has spoken about human nature, divinity, and nature the way he has. The British revere Shakespeare above all, he is their identity, their past, present, and future," he said. Vijaykumar Katagihallimath and Danayya Mahantayya Hiremath also spoke on the occasion.

Shakespeare's works have influenced Kannada writings, says Vice-Chancellor Kelaginamani
A lot of English literary works, especially those by William Shakespeare, have influenced Kannada writings. They have also helped in expanding Kannada consciousness, Maharshi Valmiki University Vice-Chancellor Shivanand Kelaginamani said in Dharwad on Sunday.
