Met Gala 2025: Megan Thee Stallion Gives A Sneak Peek Into The Delectable Food
Last Updated:
While guests are not allowed to use their phones, Megan Thee Stallion sneaked in her phone and shared a video capturing a glimpse of all the food she ate at Met Gala 2025.
The steps of the Metropolitan Museum turned into a star-studded, glitzy, haute couture event on Monday, May 5. The Met Gala, one of the biggest and most prestigious events in fashion, was organised on the first Monday of May. While all eyes are on the red carpet where celebrities serve looks in some carefully curated looks, another aspect of the Met Gala is the dinner menu, which is equally meticulously planned.
For the Met Gala 2025, James Beard Award-winning chef Kwame Onwuachi was entrusted to create a delectable menu for the guests. As reported by Vogue, the dinner started after 8 PM. The meal opened with a vibrant papaya piri piri salad, highlighting the bold flavours of the famed South African spice blend, paired with cucumbers steeped in a Caribbean green-seasoning marinade. The main course featured creole-style roasted chicken accompanied by a tangy lemon emulsion, traditional rice and peas, and a house-made hot sauce. Sides included smoky BBQ collard greens with crispy bacon and cornbread slathered with a rich honey-curry butter. To wrap up the evening on a sweet note, dessert came in the form of a 'Bodega Special Cosmic Brownie,' paired with a powdered sugar doughnut mousse and a decadent golden cake topped with honey-sweetened cream and blistered gooseberries. 'Each dish was a nod to the diverse expressions of Black culture across the globe, presented with elegance and intention," said Chef Kwame to Vogue.
Additionally, Megan Thee Stallion also took to her Instagram to share a video where she gave a glimpse into the dinner. Sharing the video, she wrote, 'Hottie Cam in thee MET GALA." Seated with Doechii and Angel Reese, they started their feast with Cornbread and Caviar.
The Met Gala 2025 dinner also included White Truffle Lobster Roll, which was an elevated take on the classic Maine coastal favourite. A playful yet thoughtful plant-based spin came in the form of Vegan Lox on a Mini Bagel, a tribute to the rich deli traditions of New York, reimagined through a modern lens by Chef Kwame. The dinner continued with a Chicken and Plantain dish. Meanwhile, the Truffle Chopped Cheese redefined the iconic New York street staple with a gourmet touch. Diners were also treated to a Hamachi bite, which added a Japanese influence to the menu.
Not just the menu, even the dining tables were exquisite. The elegantly set tables were adorned with pink and purple blooms and complemented by soft green accent lighting.

Tony Awards laud android rom-com Maybe Happy Ending and history-making Purpose
Maybe Happy Ending, a rom-com about androids that crackles with humanity, had a definite happy ending at Sunday's Tony Awards. It won best new musical on a night when Kara Young made history as the first Black person to win two Tonys consecutively for Purpose, which also won best new play. Starring Darren Criss and Helen J. Shen, Maybe Happy Ending charts the relationship between two decommissioned robots, becoming a commentary on human themes and the passage of time. It won a leading six Tonys. With Purpose, a drawing-room drama about an accomplished Black family exposing hypocrisy and pressures during a snowed-in gathering, playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins caps a remarkable year: In addition to winning back-to-back Tonys — his Appropriate won best play revival last year — he earned the Pulitzer Prize for Purpose. (That win came the day of the Met Gala, where he served on the host committee.) Jacobs-Jenkins is the first Black playwright to win the category since August Wilson for Fences in 1987. He urged viewers to support regional theaters; Purpose was nurtured in Chicago. 'Theater is a sacred space that we have to honor and treasure, and it makes us united,' Young said in her own acceptance speech. Notable Tony moments Sunset Blvd., with Nicole Scherzinger as a fallen screen idol desperate to reclaim her fame, won best musical revival, handing composer Andrew Lloyd Webber his first competitive Tony since 1995 — when the original show won. The current version is a stripped-down, minimalist production. Scherzinger also won for best lead actress in a musical, muscling aside a considerable challenge from Audra McDonald in a remarkable career pivot for the former lead singer of pop group Pussycat Dolls and TV talent show judge. 'Growing up, I always felt like I didn't belong, but you all have made me feel like I belong and I have come home at last,' she said. 'So if there's anyone out there who feels like they don't belong, or your time hasn't come, don't give up. Just keep on giving and giving because the world needs your love and your light now more than ever.' Criss, who has starred in everything from Glee to The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, won his first Tony for Maybe Happy Ending, which he also co-produced. He said he shared it with Shen, who was not nominated. Sarah Snook won leading actress in a play for her tireless work in The Picture of Dorian Gray, where she plays all 26 roles. 'I don't feel alone any night that I do this show,' Snook said, dismissing the idea of it as a one-woman show. 'There are so many people onstage making it work and behind the stage making it work.' Downtown cabaret star Cole Escola won best actor in a play for their deranged, repressed and over-the-top ahistorical version of Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh Mary!, beating such Hollywood stars as George Clooney and Daniel Dae Kim. Sam Pinkleton won best director for Oh, Mary! and thanked Escola, saying they taught him, 'Do what you love, not what you think people want to see.' Francis Jue won best featured actor in a play for the revival of Yellow Face. He said he was gifted his tuxedo from another Asian actor who wanted him to wear it to the Tonys. 'I'm only here because of the encouragement and inspiration of generations of wonderful deserving Asian artists who came before me,' he said. Jak Malone won best featured actor in a musical for the British import 'Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical,' playing a woman every performance. He hoped his win could be powerful advocacy for trans rights. Eureka Day, Jonathan Spector's social satire about well-meaning liberals debating a school's vaccine policy, won best play revival. The original cast of Hamilton, including creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, did a victory lap dressed in black to mark the show's 10th anniversary on Broadway, with a medley including My Shot, The Schuyler Sisters, History Has Its Eyes on You and The Room Where It Happens. The host with the most First-time host Cynthia Erivo kicked off the show from her Radio City Music Hall dressing room, unsure of her opening number. As she made her way through the backstage warren, she ran into various people offering advice until she reached Oprah Winfrey, who advised, 'The only thing you need to do is just be yourself.' Erivo then appeared at the stage in a red, spangly gown with white accents, hip cocked, as she launched into the slow-burning original Sometimes All You Need Is a Song, written by Marc Shaiman, Scott Wittman, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Initially alone with a pianist, Erivo's soaring voice was soon joined by members of the Broadway Inspirational Voices choir, all dressed in white, making her look like a powerful strawberry in a bowl of whipped cream. In her opening comments, she singled out first-time nominees Escola, Louis McCartney, Sadie Sink, and 'an up-and-comer that I think you're going to really be hearing quite a bit about — George Clooney.' She noted that the 2024-2025 season took in $1.9 billion, making it the highest-grossing ever and signaling Broadway has finally emerged from the COVID-19 blues. 'Broadway is officially back,' Erivo said. 'Provided we don't run out of cast members from 'Succession,'' a nod to appearances this season by former co-stars Snook and Kieran Culkin and last season by Jeremy and Sara Bareilles dueted for a moving in memoriam, singing The Sun Will Come Out from Annie, and honoring its composer Charles Strouse as well as George Wendt, Richard Chamberlain, Athol Fugard,Joan Plowright, Quincy Jones, Linda Lavin, James Earl Jones and Gavin was an amiable host, at one point appearing in the second mezzanine to comment that everyone likes the view from theater balconies — except perhaps Abraham Lincoln. She had fun with Winfrey later on, telling her to check under her chair, where she found a gift bag with a toy automobile. 'You get a car!' Erivo cracked. The best book and best score awards went to Maybe Happy Ending, with lyrics written by Hue Park and music composed by Will Aronson. Its director, Michael Arden, won — 'Happy Pride!' he said — and it also picked up best scenic Peck and Patricia Delgado won for choreographing 'Buena Vista Social Club' and Peck noted a song from the renowned original album was played at their wedding. The musical takes its inspiration from Wim Wenders' 1999 Oscar-nominated documentary on the making of the Cuban album. It won four Tonys. Best costumes in a play went to Marg Hornwell for The Picture of Dorian Gray, while Death Becomes Her won the musical counterpart for Paul Tazewell months after he became the first Black man to win an Oscar for designing Fierstein, the four-time Tony winner behind Torch Song Trilogy and Kinky Boots, was honored with a lifetime achievement Tony and became emotional during his speech. 'There is nothing quite like bathing in the applause of a curtain call, but when I bow, I bow to the audience, with gratitude, knowing that without them I might as well be lip-syncing showtunes in my bedroom mirror,' he said. 'And so I dedicate this award to the people in the dark.'

Are Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff Dating? Duo Flames Romance Rumors With Sizzling Kiss in Italy
Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff 's bond has always been close, but a recent moment in Venice suggests it may now be more than platonic. The singer and the actor, longtime friends and collaborators, were photographed kissing and sipping champagne on a balcony — sending the internet into a frenzy over their relationship status. The latest images, shared by celebrity gossip platform Deuxmoi, captured Eilish, 23, and Wolff, 30, in an intimate embrace during a sunlit moment in Venice, Italy. Representatives for both stars declined to comment on the photos. Romance speculation around the pair has been swirling for months. In March, the two were spotted leaving the iHeart Music Video Awards together and later spending an evening out in New York City. Adding fuel to the fire was Wolff's starring role in Eilish's Chihiro music video last June — a project Eilish once described as depicting an 'inescapable connection.' Publicly, the two have maintained they are close friends. The Wolff brothers became even closer to Eilish during her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour in 2024, when they served as her opening act. In an October interview with Variety, Nat Wolff spoke candidly about bonding with Eilish over their shared experience with Tourette syndrome. 'Even when I saw Billie on interviews, I said, 'Oh, she's one of us,' ' he shared. Eilish echoed the sentiment in a video with Vogue, recalling how their connection was immediate upon meeting: 'It was just like an immediate — I don't even know what we talked about, but it was an immediate — I was like, 'Yo!' ' Despite her public friendship with Wolff, Eilish has expressed her desire for privacy regarding her personal life. Speaking to Vogue last year, she stated, 'I wish no one knew anything about my sexuality or anything about my dating life. Ever, ever, ever.' She added, 'I'm never talking about who I'm dating ever again.' While neither Eilish nor Wolff have addressed the latest round of romance rumors, their moments in Venice suggest a relationship that may be evolving. Whether they choose to define it publicly or keep it private, their undeniable chemistry continues to captivate fans and spark curiosity across the globe.
