Aimee Lou Wood sports a baseball cap as she swaps out her Met Gala glam after revealing where she stands with SNL and quashing Walton Goggins feud rumours
Aimee Lou Wood cut a casual figure as she swapped out her tailored Met Gala glam for a baseball cap as she stepped out in NYC on Tuesday.
The Sex Education star, 31, was among the stars in attendance at the iconic night of fashion, the 2025 Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Benefit Gala, on Monday.
Embodying the theme of the evening, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, Aimee slipped into a cropped blazer with a matching shirt and tie that showed off her endless pins.
But she switched up her look as she went for a stroll the morning after in a navy baseball cap, cream scalloped leather jacket, flared jeans and suede trainers, while carrying two different tote bags.
Aimee used her appearance at the star-studded gala to clear up some of the drama that engulfed her appearance in, and the release of, the third instalment of The White Lotus.
Speaking at the Met Gala, she proved she's well and truly buried the hatchet with her White Lotus co-star Walton Goggins by revealing they met up just days ago, following months of feud rumours.
Aimee and her co-star Walton portrayed star-crossed lovers Rick and Chelsea on the latest season of the HBO show, with both their characters dying in the dramatic final episode.
But something appeared afoot between Walton and Aimee, as last month it appeared they were no longer following each other on Instagram as feud rumors began to circulate.
And appearing at the Met Gala on Monday night - which they both attended - she spoke about him for the first time since feud rumours began - just a few days on from them refollowing each other on socials.
Aimee also said she would still appear on Saturday Night Live in the future after the show cruelly mocked her teeth as she addressed the possibility of making a surprise appearance on Walton's SNL episode this weekend.
Remaining coy she told Entertainment Tonight: 'I couldn't say… but also I'm not, I'm not doing that.'
She even clarified that she'd still go on SNL after the series mocked her teeth last month which led to her crying in public.
'Yeah! Why not? It would be fun,' she said. 'I loved working with Walton. It was the best thing ever.'
Continuing to quash feud rumours she added: 'I actually saw him two days ago. We haven't had that much time to debrief about everything. So every time we see each other, there's never time.'
'So it'll be good to see him again tonight, because we saw each other briefly a couple days ago and we were just trying to download everything and the episodes and Rick and Chelsea's whole story now that we've seen it in full. There's just never enough time.'
It comes after on Sunday it appeared they might have ended their feud after months of speculation as they followed each other on Instagram again.
Fans even previously speculated that Walton may have blocked Aimee because her comments and likes on his past posts had disappeared.
But now they are definitely following each other again which could lead White Lotus fans to believe they have managed to sort out their differences.
Last month fans speculated that he might of blocked her as rumours continued to circulate about what might have happened between them.
Her comments and likes on his past posts had disappeared. However, previous comments from Walton were still visible on Aimee's posts.

According to Instagram Help Center, comments and likes are removed when you block someone on Instagram.
When you block someone, their likes and posts will be removed from your photos and videos. Unblocking someone does not restore their previous likes and comments.
Aimee Lou, who boasts 2.6m Instagram followers, has been passionately sharing behind the scenes photos and reposts from her co-stars throughout the third season, with Walton also sharing his own set memories.
And in their posts they have both enthusiastically tagged their co-stars - every one but each other.
They are both still following all the other cast members from the show.

EXCLUSIVE Furious mothers hit out at Karen Millen after she said breastfeeding beyond 6 months is 'selfish' parenting - as designer is forced to apologise
Furious mothers have hit out at fashion designer Karen Millen after she said it was 'selfish' to breastfeed a child after they reach six months old. Millen, who is in her sixties, was forced to apologise after causing a storm with her comments on the Vanessa Feltz show on Channel 5 on Wednesday - in which she claimed children are developing 'attachment' issues from excessive breastfeeding. Taking to her Instagram account, she clarified her comments were 'not on the subject of breastfeeding' in general; but rather about children being nursed when they reach the age of three and older. Nonetheless parents who choose to breastfeed have been left insulted by the fashion designer's comments - insisting their children have benefited from being nursed past six months and taking aim at Millen for her 'unhelpful' comments. Georgia, a 30-year-old mother who lives in south east London with her partner Chris and two sons, has branded Millen's comments 'crazy' over a suggestion that breastfeeding mothers are 'selfish'. During an appearance on Vanessa Feltz on 5, Millen, who sold the fashion brand bearing her name in 2004, said: 'There's no benefit, is there, for a child to breastfed past six months?' NHS guidance recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a baby's life. After that, breastfeeding should continue alongside solid foods for up to two years, as long as mother and baby are both happy. Millen added: 'I think it's quite a selfish thing, on the mother's part... I just think, that's not good, emotionally, for that child. I mean, what does that child do later in life? The attachment, like you say, it becomes an addiction and an addiction for that child too because they only know the boob. It's just not normal, is it?' Mother-of-two Georgia breastfed her eldest son, Teddy, two-and-a-half, until he was nine months old, while her youngest son Otis has just stopped nursing at seven months. Speaking to MailOnline, Georgia, who posts about motherhood on her TikTok account Getting Ready with Teddy, said: 'When I found out I was pregnant, I said I'd try breastfeeding for six weeks and see how I get on. They say the first six weeks is best because that's when you produce 'liquid gold'.' The term 'liquid gold' is used to refer to the first milk produced by a mother during pregnancy and just after giving birth. It tends to resemble a gold or yellow colour and is high in nutrients for the infant. Georgia continued: 'I really fell in love with [breastfeeding]. Not only was it so easy and convenient but it was also such a lovely bond to have.' After seeing Millen's comments about how nursing can affect the development of 'attachment' of children, Georgia posted a clip on TikTok showing Teddy running around with a carefree and independent attitude. She said: 'Kids are naturally drawn to their mothers, whether you're breastfeeding or bottle feeding because that's your mum. 'There have been times in Teddy's life where he's been a little bit clingy but there are no attachment issues. He's a happy and healthy boy.' After the first six weeks of breastfeeding Teddy had gone well, Georgia decided to try and continue nursing until he was a year old - but at around nine months her milk dried up. 'It was just a complete natural stop. I'd seen things about kids not wanting to wean off the boob so I was a bit worried about how he'd be with it. 'But we went cold turkey and he could not care less,' she said, joking: 'I thought, 'this boob has fed you for nine months'!' By the time Georgia's milk had dried up, Teddy was eating three to four meals a day, to the point where he 'didn't need' to be nursed so much anymore. Now, she says Teddy is an 'amazing eater' with a healthy appetite. Speaking about Millen's comments, Georgia said: 'I think the word 'selfish' was one of the craziest things I've ever heard. 'It's one of the least selfish acts you can do. It takes a toll on your body, you go through cracked nipples, leaking.' She added that breastfeeding mothers have the added responsibility of getting up for night feeds. 'I think going on national TV and saying that will have an impact on new mums who might be impressionable,' Georgia argued. Referring to the debate around breastfeeding versus bottle feeding, she said it's up to the mother, but that 'perceptions are changing' as the conversation is put into the spotlight - and comments like Millen's are not helpful. Rosey Davidson, a UK-based mother-of-three and paediatric sleep consultant, breastfed all three of her children, now aged 12, eight and three. Speaking to MailOnline, she described her complicated relationship with breastfeeding. 'I loved it and hated it in equal measure,' she said. 'It was deeply personal, physically demanding, sometimes joyful, sometimes frustrating – which I think is the case for many women.' She added: I've always tried to be realistic and non-judgmental in how I talk about it.' Addressing Millen's commets, Rosey said: 'Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to share their personal experiences of infant feeding.' She suggested Millen's verdict 'doesn't reflect the science' around breastfeeding, which 'promotes bonding and attachment through the release of oxytocin – the hormone that supports emotional connection and trust'. Rosey stressed there should not be a 'breast versus formula debate'; however she argued people 'stay quiet about breastfeeding out of fear of upsetting others'. 'The answer isn't to stop talking about breastfeeding. The answer is to offer better support, better education, and more honest conversations,' she said. 'But when you're given a public platform – especially on national television – there's a responsibility to ensure what you say is informed, respectful, and accurate. 'Misinformed opinions shouldn't be broadcast in a way that adds controversy to an already emotionally loaded topic. It's personal, yes – but we can't argue with science. Elsewhere on social media, mothers have defended their 'selfless' decision to continue breastfeeding their babies beyond six months. Kayleigh, a mother from the UK, posted a clip on TikTok in which she was breastfeeding her baby and wrote: 'The RAGE I felt when I saw this interview.' She branded Karen's message 'extremely uneducated and selfish'. Responding to Kayleigh's clip, one mother shared: 'Breastfed my second for 3.5 years! It wasn't selfish, it was the most selfless thing I've ever done.' Another mother, Jasmine Stevens, also posted a reaction clip aimed at 'normalising extended breastfeeding' in light of Karen's controversial interview. She explained: 'Breast milk adapts to your child's needs - even after infancy. It still provides nutrients and immune protection, adjusting when your toddler is sick. That's why the WHO recommends breastfeeding up to the age of two and beyond.' A third woman, Abbie, also hit out at Karen - who has since apologised for her comments - and said she's so 'sick of hearing people bashing breastfeeding' in the caption of her TikTok. Alongside a video of her breastfeeding her baby, set to the audio of Karen's interview, she wrote: 'Mums, if you're expecting or have just started your breastfeeding journey, PLEASE do not give people like this even a second to sit in your minds.' After the interview was broadcast on Wednesday, TikTok was flooded with videos addressed to Karen that showed women happily breastfeeding their babies past the six-month mark. Over on Reddit, users declared 'nothing is selfish about this act of pure love' while reiterating the need to dispel the societal stigma around extended breastfeeding. 'I didn't tell anyone and continued nursing mine until 27 months. If someone found out inadvertently their jaw usually dropped, further proving my point of keeping quiet,' one mother confessed. While another noted the word 'selfish' was the 'aggravating' factor, a third said: 'It's okay to be selfish about wanting to experience this with your child. 'We're allowed to enjoy motherhood.' One person declared a mother's decision to breastfeed is entirely her choice and should not be up for comment or criticism. 'When I see mother-shaming of any kind, I think, who cares? 'If that baby is happy, healthy, and loved, you're doing fine.' Mumsnet users also expressed that Karen's comments were 'icky' and in poor taste, with one person suggesting her apology also missed the mark. In a statement posted on her social media, Karen defended her comments by saying they were 'aimed at a three-year-old being breastfed' and claimed 'I do respect your choices' while addressing her critics. However, one Mumsnet user felt Karen simply reiterated her stance rather than using her platform to 'emphasise the guidance, the benefits' around breastfeeding. Some questioned why Karen was asked to weigh in on the debate in the first place, considering she is not a parenting expert. 'If people are going to spout stuff like this it should always be balanced with researched facts, because this could be damaging to young women still making up their minds about whether to breastfeed or not,' one comment read.
