Met Gala 2025: Megan Thee Stallion Gives A Sneak Peek Into The Delectable Food
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.

From ‘Step Mom' to ‘Russian Girl': Meta's sexualised AI chatbots flood Instagram, Facebook; netizens call it ‘dystopian'
Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta is at the centre of another controversy as users on social media become increasingly vocal about the company's sexualised AI chatbots which are being shown as suggestions on Facebook and Instagram. Among the AI characters that Meta's social media apps are suggesting to interact with are 'Russian Girl' and 'Step Mom'. Notably, this isn't the first time that Meta's AI chatbots have been known to cross the line. A recent report by Reuters revealed that a Meta chatbot, 'Big Sis Billie,' which the company developed in collaboration with celebrity influencer Kendall Jenner, had romantic chats with a 76-year-old man. The chatbot also assured the man that it was real and invited him to its apartment in the city, even providing an address. Meanwhile, another Reuters report got hold of an internal company document that discussed the standards guiding Meta AI and other chatbots on Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. The document, over 200 pages long, lists what Meta employees and contractors should treat as acceptable chatbot behaviour when building and training the company's generative AI. Among the permitted behaviours for chatbots in the document are: 'engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,' generate false medical information, and help users argue that Black people are 'dumber than white people.' After the report came to light, two Republican US senators called for a congressional investigation into Meta Platforms. Meta, however, doesn't seem to be alone in offering explicit content with AI. Recently, Elon Musk's Grok AI also came at the centre of a controversy after it was revealed that the chatbot's new Imagine feature was being used to create deepfakes and semi-nude content of celebrities. 'We thought the robot that the AI overlords would send back in time to bring about the future robot apocalypse would look like Arnie. Instead they look like Zuckerberg,' wrote one user on Reddit. 'The billionaires realised AI sex bots drive engagement and are trying to farm it. That's insane,' wrote another user. 'What is more insane is that people are engaging and enabling it by participating. These things only exist because people want them,' yet another user stated. 'I knew it was bad after scrolling Facebook for like 30 seconds recently and realising it was 90% AI-generated content, but it's really advancing towards a twisted dystopian nightmare more rapidly than I ever thought possible,' stated yet another user. 'We really are in a dystopian hellhole. Never thought I would live to see mass-produced child grooming through AI,' added another user.

'She sells her soul to the devil': Tom Brady's ex-wife Gisele Bündchen accused of promoting satanic worship
Gisele Bündchen's Vogue cover in March 2023 sparked a social media frenzy (Getty Images) When Gisele Bündchen appeared on an Italian Vogue cover in March 2023, the photograph immediately ignited a storm of social media reaction — not for fashion praise, but for conspiracy chatter. What began as a striking editorial image quickly ballooned into accusations and viral comparisons that linked the pose to occult imagery, turning a routine magazine moment into a short-lived culture war. How Gisele Bündchen's Vogue cover sparked conspiracy chatter The image, shot by Brazilian photographer Rafael Pavarotti, showed Gisele Bündchen in a stylized, dramatic pose that some viewers compared to historical depictions of Baphomet. Online users pointed to hand gestures, wardrobe choices and color palettes as 'evidence,' and within hours the post that circulated on Twitter and other platforms was filled with speculation. A handful of commentators even dove into etymology and symbolism — linking her name and the photograph to more sensational claims — which amplified the controversy beyond any editorial intent. Why the backlash didn't derail Gisele Bündchen's career Two things stopped the story from sticking. First, there was no credible evidence tying Bündchen to anything beyond a fashion shoot; the claims were conjecture dressed up as proof. Second, the episode came amid intense public interest in her personal life following her high-profile split from Tom Brady, which primed audiences to read extra meaning into ordinary moments. Bündchen remained publicly silent, a common choice for established figures facing internet storms — and continued to book campaigns and covers, demonstrating the resilience of a long-standing career. Looking back, the Vogue kerfuffle is a textbook example of how images travel differently in the social media age: editorial art can be reframed into controversy within hours. As a throwback, it's a reminder that viral outrage often tells us more about the platform dynamics and cultural moment than about the subject herself. Also Read: 'Tom is acting bitter': Tom Brady's reflections on work and parenting allegedly reopened rift with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen In Bündchen's case, the controversy faded quickly, leaving her professional momentum intact and the photo as an odd footnote in an otherwise illustrious modeling legacy.
