Met Gala 2025: 5 Foods Banned From Menu For All Celebrities
Celebrities and fans are excited for Met Gala 2025, set to take place on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York at 6 pm (ET). For Indian viewers, that would be at 3:30 am on May 6 (IST). Indian stars including Shah Rukh Khan, Kiara Advani and Diljit Dosanjh will be marking their Met Gala debut this year. Every year, the prestigious event is planned by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who takes care of every little thing that is important for a successful star-studded night.
One key task on Wintour's list is the dinner menu. While the menu for Met Gala 2025 is yet to be revealed, we know for sure certain foods that are completely not allowed in the kitchen, as per Wintour's instructions.
Here Are 5 Foods Banned From The Met Gala 2025 Dinner:
1. Garlic
2. Onion
3. Chives
4. Parsley
5. Bruschetta
Explaining why these particular foods are forbidden, Josh Jackson, executive chef and owner-proprietor of Great Taste Catering in Los Angeles, told Parade, "She doesn't want the food to affect the breath of the celebrity guests," adding, "She doesn't want to see chives in the guests' teeth. It's understandable."

Sharing another possible reason, Jackson added, "Also, there are several people who are actually allergic to the allium family of bulbous plants, which is rare but possible. But that's maybe a stretch."
As per Delish, parsley was also removed from the menu so that no one is walking around with it stuck in their teeth. Bruschetta is also risky as it could easily ruin an outfit.

Celebrity chef Kwame Onwuachi has curated the menu for this year's Met Gala. "I am thrilled and honoured to be creating the dining experience for this year's Met Gala. As a chef who grew up in the Bronx, being a part of such an iconic New York institution for the most celebrated, star-studded night of the year is like a professional dream come true," he said. "And as a lover of high fashion, collaborating on the theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, brings a whole new level of inspiration for me and my team to work with."

Amitabh Bachchan praised Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for not using 'painkiller' during Aaradhya's delivery: 'She was in pain..., wanted...'
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, one of Bollywood's most popular couples, have been married for nearly 18 years now. The pair got engaged in January 2007, followed by a lavish wedding at the Bachchan mansion in April of the same year. In November 2011, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan welcomed Aaradhya Bachchan, their first and only child. When Amitabh Bachchan Showered Heaps Of Praise Aishwarya was 38 years old when she gave birth to her daughter, and her father-in-law, megastar Amitabh Bachchan , was the one who praised her for her strength during the delivery. At the time, Amitabh Bachchan showed his respect for his daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai and disclosed how she went through labor for '2-3 hours' without receiving an epidural to have a normal birth. Soon after his granddaughter Aaradhya was born, Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan emerged from their home in Jalsa to tell the media about the happy news. At the time, Amitabh Bachchan had also commented on who the baby looked more like. He said, 'I think she looks like Aishwarya. However, as everyone knows, children's faces change daily. I still believe she resembles Aishwarya. Some members of the family believe she resembles Jaya or Abhishek slightly.' Amitabh Praised Her Daughter-In-Law For Not Using… Amitabh Bachchan went on to laud Aishwarya Rai for her strength after childbirth. The actor said, 'She had to suffer, but I admire her for being in intense labour for over 2-3 hours. But she insisted and stated that she preferred a conventional delivery. 'She didn't use any epidurals or painkillers.' Suniel Shetty On C-Section Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty has spoken up about his daughter Athiya Shetty's transition into motherhood. Suniel stated in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha that Athiya and Indian cricketer KL Rahul just welcomed their first child, a baby girl. He stated that Athiya had a regular birth and that, while 'C-section is comfortable,' she was determined to pursue the natural route. Meanwhile, Suniel Shetty's comments about C-sections didn't go over well with everyone. He stated, 'In a world where everyone desires the convenience of having a cesarean baby, she chose not to do so and had a natural birth. I recall every nurse and pediatrician in the hospital saying it was incredible how she went through the entire process.'
