Jones' ensemble showcased floral inspiration, with a bevy of botanicals cascading down the singer's coat and trousers with precise bead-work in shades of silver, white and cream. The coat cinched at Jones' waist for added definition and featured a long train that trailed behind the singer.
The ensemble also included a detail that's been rather popular amid recent fashion weeks. Jones opted to go shirtless beneath her stunning coat, a look previously styled by Venus Williams during Milan Fashion Week in February and Camila Cabello during Paris Fashion Week in March.
When it came to her accessories, Jones went with a dazzling statement necklace with shimmering diamonds and blue sapphires. With the necklace as the centerpiece of her accessories, Jones complemented it with stud earrings. She completed her ensemble with heels by Jimmy Choo. Jones' Met Gala look was curated by stylist Maeve Reilly.
The 2025 Met Gala marks Jones' first at the annual event. More recently, the singer attended the 2025 Oscars wearing a custom look courtesy of Coach.
The 2025 Met Gala, held Monday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' The event highlights Black dandyism and menswear, with a 'Tailored for You' dress code. Cochairs include Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour.

Most-followed TikTok star Khaby Lame detained by ICE amid Trump immigration crackdown
Most-followed TikTok star Khaby Lame detained by ICE amid Trump immigration crackdown Show Caption Hide Caption National Guard and protesters clash over ICE raids Hundreds of demonstrators fought back with the National Guard and local authorities as ICE protests escalated. Khaby Lame, an Italian-Senegalese influencer whose TikTok account boasts the most followers on the platform, has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In a statement Sunday, June 8, to USA TODAY, an ICE spokesperson confirmed that Lame, whose full name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for immigration violations. Born in Senegal, Lame is now a citizen of Italy, where he has spent the majority of his life. Entering the U.S. on April 30, Lame "overstayed the terms of his visa," according to ICE, and was granted voluntary departure once detained. Online, young female OnlyFans stars make their lives look aspirational. Is it problematic? Why is Khaby Lame famous? The 25-year-old content creator has one of the most recognizable faces on the internet. Rising to fame during the pandemic, after being laid off from his factory job in Italy in March of 2020, Lame's signature video style involves him following along as another creator demonstrates a complicated life hack, then completing the task himself with ease, often wordlessly, and shooting a knowing look at the camera. Using the hashtag "learnfromkhaby" on many of his videos, Lame's fame is more akin to the internet stardom of yore, in which an exasperated look or a quick humorous bit, stripped of any high production value or product placement, could take off on Vine. Lame attended the 2025 Met Gala in May, celebrating the theme of Black dandyism in style with a bespoke gray zoot suit-style ensemble. Beyond internet stardom, he is also an ambassador for men's clothing house Boss, Blockchain platform Binance and Unicef, a humanitarian aid organization. The biggest moments from the 2025 Met Gala: Rihanna, Diana Ross, more red carpet highlights Lame's detainment comes amid a larger immigration crackdown spearheaded by President Donald Trump. Following through on a campaign promise for mass deportations, under Trump's advisement, ICE launched raids across the country, from classrooms to workplaces to airports. The move has been met with some resistance among the general public and the courts, who argue that some of the deportations have robbed people of due process and that, in the case of separated families, they embody a cruelty discordant with America's values.

Let's talk about her new face
When Kris Jenner debuted her dramatically refreshed face on Instagram in May, the internet predictably erupted. Commenters praised the 69-year-old matriarch's sculpted jawline, lifted cheeks and youthful complexion — so youthful, in fact, that several outlets said she looked exactly like her daughter Kim Kardashian. Within days, photos of Jenner's new look had gone viral, the subject of countless articles, speculating about which procedures she underwent and which doctor she saw to achieve her 'new face.' Jenner isn't alone. Anne Hathaway created a similar wave of speculation after she stepped out at the Met Gala in May, and Lindsay Lohan's noticeable glow-up in the 2024 holiday Netflix movie Our Little Secret has been such a hot topic of conversation for the past six months that her publicist publicly called for an end to the speculation in a recent cover story for Elle magazine. Still, the discourse marches on, driven in part by influencer plastic surgeons who have built massive online followings dissecting the possible procedures behind these so-called new faces. This fascination isn't entirely new. But he tone and depth of these conversations have transformed, largely due to social media's accessibility. In the past, tabloids controlled the narrative about celebrity cosmetic procedures. Now plastic surgeons themselves are openly sharing their expert opinions online, creating a new era of transparency — whether celebrities welcome it or not. Dr. Daniel Barrett, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon with over one million Instagram followers and another 2.6 million on TikTok, has a simple theory for why these videos perform so well: human curiosity. 'People love to know what other people did,' Barrett told Yahoo Entertainment. He is among several plastic surgeons who regularly post videos speculating on celebrities' appearances that attract tens of millions of views, with fans frequently commenting on stars' looks and speculating on potential cosmetic work. It's not work that Barrett, who calls himself the 'natural plastic surgeon' in his social media bios, necessarily enjoys: 'It's gossipy. I feel like a gossip magazine,' he admitted. 'But people eat it up.' Another prominent voice is Dr. Jonny Betteridge, a nonsurgical aesthetics doctor in London, who has posted content on his social media platforms about celebrities' changing aesthetics ranging from Anne Hathaway and Taylor Swift to Brad Pitt and Rob Lowe. Betteridge said the significant impact these videos have on his business makes posting them a 'no-brainer.' 'I've grown my following from I think 7,000 to over 500,000 [across Instagram and TikTok] in the space of about three years,' Betteridge told Yahoo, 'and a lot of it has come down to celebrity content.' For example, the four posts he made about Kris Jenner garnered 50 million views across both platforms in just one week. His 2024 video analyzing Brad Pitt's appearance attracted more than 15 million views. 'My business would not be where it is today without these videos,' he said. While there's no doubt the videos are powerful marketing tools, both Barrett and Betteridge say their motivations for making this type of content extend beyond business growth. They also post them to demystify beauty standards and set realistic expectations for the general public. 'Celebrities often set the standards for the industry, and many people look up to these individuals who think that they've achieved this new look or this transformation naturally,' Betteridge said. 'But there's so much that goes into it. It's very curated. They've got professional help, both from aesthetic doctors and surgeons.' One significant challenge, according to Betteridge, is that today's cosmetic procedures are so advanced, they are nearly impossible for the untrained eye to detect. And it gets even harder when celebrities claim that their transformations are simply due to chia seeds. 'Lindsay Lohan coming out and saying it's just skin care and a healthy lifestyle, that for me just fosters harmful beauty ideals," said Betteridge. Dr. Anthony Youn, a plastic surgeon in Michigan with more than 1.5 million followers on Instagram and 8.5 million on TikTok, agreed. 'I get irritated when celebrities who have obviously had a bunch of work done say, 'Oh, it's just olive oil,' he told Yahoo. It's disingenuous and unfair for women to have to live up to a certain beauty standard that is unrealistic without having the resources of multimillionaire celebrities.' Despite his frustrations, Youn, who has covered celebrity procedures since the 2010s, appreciates what he says is a noticeable shift in how people talk about celebrity cosmetic surgery. 'It used to be about botched celebrities, not celebrities who look incredible,' he said. 'This is one of the first times I remember where the stories are basically very positive about how amazing certain celebrities look, with the acknowledgement that they must have had actual plastic surgery.' Youn says his patients frequently ask him about celebrities' faces and use photos of them as inspiration. As Youn's online reach has grown and he has become more well known in the industry, he's stopped posting as much celebrity-related content. But in 2022, he produced a TikTok series called 'Real or Sus,' in which he openly debated the kinds of procedures celebrities had done and said the comments were all very positive. 'It was a 'I want what she's having' type of situation.' Tally Singer, a personal assistant in North Carolina, tuned in to Youn's TikToks. Like many of his followers, she was intrigued and impressed by the transformations of familiar celebrities like Lohan and Jenner. "I'm just fascinated by people's evolution,' Singer told Yahoo. 'And I'm happy when they look good. Good for them.' She also values the open dialogue around cosmetic procedures fostered by influencer surgeons. "All of these people on Instagram and TikTok doctors, they make it so it's not so secretive and scandalous. It's open and you can be proud of it,' she said. 'It destigmatizes it.' But the broader acceptance of celebrity cosmetic work doesn't necessarily erase the anxiety and societal forces that also appear to underpin interest in what happens behind the scenes. If anything, the collective obsession with these procedures and their outcomes speaks volumes about our fears of aging, our complicated relationship with self-image and the relentless cultural pressures that shape both. 'The public jury and scrutiny of these women's appearances. … It's hard. I love to see it,' Singer said. 'But the bottom line is that it just breeds insecurity.'
