It's the first Monday in May, which can only mean one thing! As night falls, the A-list of style, including actors, models, musicians, sports stars and the world's top designers, will hit the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Manhattan's tony Upper East Side for the 2025 Met Gala.
The theme of this year's benefit on May 5, which raises money for the iconic New York City institution's Costume Institute, is 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' which explores the role of fashion and dandyism in shaping Black culture.
Luminaries rocked interpretations of the dress code 'Tailored for You.' Hosts Coleman Domingo, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour stunned in expertly fashioned pieces, as did host committee members Doechii, Tyla, Usher and Ayo Edibiri. While the chic suits and impeccable corsetry had impressed, it was the hair and makeup that really had us swooning.
Swooped edges and major lashes turned out to be the biggest trends of the night and looks that will no doubt inspire street style for seasons to come. Cheeky temporary face tattoos also had a moment (case in point: Doechii's LV logo and Cynthia Erivo's heart beauty mark.)
Here, without further ado, our picks for the most memorable beauty looks on the 2025 Met Gala red carpet: Lupita Nyong'o Lupita Nyong'o at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images Megan thee Stallion Megan Thee Stallion at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images DUA LIPA Dua Lipa at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images DOECHII Doechii at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images Halle Bailey Halle Bailey at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images Simone Biles Simone Biles at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images ZendayA Zendaya at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images CHAPPELL ROAN Chappell Roan at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images Zoe SaldañA Zoe Saldaña at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images Coco Jones Coco Jones at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images Gigi Hadid Gigi Hadid at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images ANgela Bassett Angela Bassett at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images DEMI MOORE Demi Moore at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images CARDI B Cardi B at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images JENNIE Jennie at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images Ego Nwodim Ego Nwodim at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images Sydney Sweeney Sydney Sweeney at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images ALICIA KEYS Alicia Keys at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images DOJA CAT Doja Cat at the 2025 Met Gala / 2025 Teyana Taylor Teyana Taylor at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images Kim kardashian Kim Kardashian at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images Pamela Anderson Pamela Anderson at the 2025 Met Gala / Getty Images

Hailey Bieber's Billion-Dollar Beauty Deal — & What It Means for Her Marriage
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 05: Hailey Bieber attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo byfor The Met Museum/Vogue) Hailey Bieber has officially entered mogul territory. Last week, the 28-year-old model and entrepreneur announced the sale of her skincare brand, Rhode, to e.l.f. Beauty in a landmark $1 billion deal. It's a move that cements her as one of the most successful celebrity founders of her generation — and places her firmly among beauty industry powerhouses like Kylie Jenner and Rihanna. Since its launch in 2022, Rhode has built a cult-like following thanks to its minimalist aesthetic, clean formulas, and Bieber's loyal fan base. According to AP News , the brand generated $212 million in net sales in the fiscal year ending March 31 — an impressive feat in just under three years. The acquisition includes $600 million in cash, $200 million in e.l.f. stock, and an additional $200 million in performance-based earnouts over the next three years, as reported by India Times . Bieber has announced she will remain deeply involved in the brand as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation, and will also serve as a Strategic Advisor to e.l.f., ensuring her creative vision continues to shape the Rhode identity. But while the business world is celebrating, the success may be sparking tension in her personal life. Success, Jealousy, and Spotlight Struggles NEW YORK, NY – FEBRUARY 06: Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber are seen on February 06, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by XNY/Star Max/GC Images) *** Local Caption *** Justin Bieber; Hailey Bieber According to reporting from The Sun , sources close to the couple say Justin Bieber has been struggling emotionally following the deal. Allegedly, he's feeling 'jealous' and 'insecure' about being eclipsed by his wife's rising star. While Hailey has built Rhode from the ground up, Justin has been relatively quiet on the professional front in recent months, further intensifying the imbalance. This shift in power dynamics has reportedly led to emotional friction behind the scenes. And with no prenup in place — something Page Six notes the couple did not arrange prior to their 2018 courthouse wedding — Hailey's billion-dollar payout could legally be considered community property under California law. That means if the two were to divorce, Justin could be entitled to half of her earnings made during the marriage, including from the Rhode sale. What's Next for Hailey Bieber NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 05: Hailey Bieber attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo byfor The Met Museum/Vogue) Despite the speculation, Hailey seems focused on her next chapter. The Sun reports that she's already mapping out future ventures, including investments in fashion and real estate. She also plans to funnel some of her earnings into philanthropic causes, using her growing influence to make an impact beyond beauty. What makes this story so compelling isn't just the money or the media attention — it's what it represents. Hailey Bieber's meteoric rise underscores the evolving role of women in celebrity partnerships and the societal discomfort that still exists when a woman becomes the higher earner. It also speaks to a broader shift happening in the industry: female celebrities are no longer content to just be brand ambassadors or muses. They're founders, CEOs, and now, billion-dollar dealmakers. A Defining Moment—Personally and Professionally NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 05: Hailey Bieber leave The Carlyle Hotel before the 2025 Met Gala: 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Adrian Edwards/GC Images) Whether or not the personal rumors prove true, one thing is clear: Hailey Bieber is no longer just Mrs. Bieber — she's a business icon in her own right. As she continues to build her empire, she's also navigating the complexities that come with fame, fortune, and a high-profile marriage. And if Rhode's success is any indication, this is only the beginning.

Rihanna's Maternity Style Just Keeps Getting Better
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 05: Rihanna is seen on May 05, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Gotham/GC Images) It wouldn't take an oracle to predict that Rihanna's third pregnancy would come wrapped in high-concept couture and effortless confidence. After all, the Fenty founder has long turned maternity dressing into a subversive, runway-worthy art form—and this third time round is no different. Rihanna's iconic pregnancy style narrative began in 2022 with that viral vintage Chanel puffer coat and jewelled belly chains. She doubled down in 2023, announcing baby number two mid-performance at the Super Bowl in a custom crimson Loewe breastplate. So naturally, baby number three debuted at the 2025 Met Gala—fashion's most hallowed grounds. In custom Marc Jacobs, she wore a pinstripe skirt with an exaggerated bustle and corseted jacket, finished with a wide-brimmed Stephen Jones hat and mules by Amina Muaddi. It was a bump-forward look that cemented her as the queen of maternity dressing. From there, she's delivered nothing short of a sartorial masterclass. Hours before the Gala, she was spotted at the Carlyle Hotel in a Miu Miu Fall 2025 grey ribbed set—complete with matching socks, grey heels, and a faux fur stole. Post-Gala? She slipped into an Ann Demeulemeester look, accented with Louboutin lace boots, a lace durag, and diamonds, of course. In New York the next morning, she teamed a Martine Rose striped polo with Bottega Veneta denim and Amina Muaddi pumps—adding a Yankees cap and a Fendi baguette for good measure. May has seen Rihanna bring maternity glamour to the Cannes Film Festival in custom Alaïa—azure blue, scallop-hemmed, and sliced with architectural cut-outs. Her finishing touches? Ray-Bans from partner A$AP Rocky's collab, and a stack of Boucheron jewels. Below, we trace the singer's outfits as she continues to deliver look after look of nonconforming maternity style.

Zendaya Reached Out To Anna Sawai After Matching At The 2025 Met Gala
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 05: Zendaya attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo byfor The Met Museum/Vogue) Zendaya and Anna Sawai generated many a fashion headline last week when they both appeared at the 2025 Met Gala in near-identical outfits. While Zendaya appeared at the event in a sleek white suit and wide-brimmed hat ensemble by Louis Vuitton, first-time Met attendee Sawai made her appearance not long after in an uncannily similar look by Christian Dior. Cameras captured Law Roach—Zendaya's stylist and frequent collaborator—reacting to Sawai's entrance in real time at the gala. 'I am dying 'cause she's got on Zendaya's look,' he said to an interviewer. 'I'm so glad we came early.' A week later, Roach revealed that there was no ill will on either side and provided some insight into the inspiration behind both looks. NEW YORK, NY – APRIL 23: Law Roach and Zendaya on April 23, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Jason Howard/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images) 'I think people thought there was some kind of disappointment on our end,' said the stylist. 'It was two people paying homage to two different people: Yoko [Ono] being Anna's inspiration and Diana [Ross] and Bianca [Jagger] being ours.' He went on to express disappointment at the two women being pitted against each other by some commentators. 'It just happened,' he noted. 'They both looked great, and they're both beautiful women. I mean, I hate the way that people try to pin women or stylists [against each other]. It was just all great.' NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 05: Anna Sawai attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo byfor The Met Museum/Vogue) Zendaya hasn't commented on the accidental twinning. However, Roach confirmed that she sent flowers to Sawai to congratulate her on her first Met. Sawai was just as gracious about the matter, taking to her Instagram stories to playfully comment, 'Celebrating the spirit of Black dandyism and Zendaya.' She later added in a post, 'I know a lot of people have a lot to say, and trust me, I admire her too 🤣🤍 But most importantly, I'm so happy with my look, so please be happy for me too.'

(Photo by Arturo Holmes/MG25/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) In the end, the looks may have been closely related, but the truth was really in the details. With Zendaya's fit and flare pants as well as the addition of a vest, different from Sawai's wide-legged trousers and white gloves, fans are sure to appreciate the ingredients that went into creating two equally chic end results. topics: Zendaya, law roach, anna sawai, Met Gala, Met Gala 2025, celebrity, fashion, celebrity news, celebrity fashion, Red Carpet, Trending
