Inside the Glam of Chappell Roan's First Met Gala

Vogue05-05-2025
Tonight, your 'favorite artist's favorite artist,' Chappel Roan, is live on the 2025 Met Gala blue carpet for her first year. An absolute beauty chameleon, Roan tapped Pat McGrath to create her look—and it's the first time the pair have ever worked together.
'Beauty isn't everything, it's the only thing,' Roan has told Vogue in the past. 'I wish I made that up.' She's bringing that same passion to her look tonight.
To create a Tailored to You look (the dress code for the evening), Roan worked with Paul Tazewell, the costume director from Wicket, to source something from eBay. The result is an incredibly glittery patchwork pink suit with a matching feathered cape.

'We layered shimmering metallics with illustrated wings, chrome lashes, and rhinestone accents. It's maximalist, metallic, and made to move.'

Darren Aronofsky Tried to Stoke Rivalry Between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis On ‘Black Swan' Set: ‘Was All in Good Fun'

'Black Swan' returns to theaters on Aug. 21 and 24, playing in Imax for the first time to celebrate fifteen years since the psychological thriller first hit cinemas. Director Darren Aronofsky recently reunited with stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis to reflect on the film's milestone anniversary for Vogue, and their discussion revealed that the director had tried and failed to stoke rivalry between the two stars to reflect their on-screen feud. 'My take is that I was trying to be a sneaky director and make them argue,' admitted Aronofsky, 'Mila and Natalie both realized very quickly what I was doing and made fun of me, so it quickly became a joke that we all understood. They're both very clever and were instantly privy to whatever trick I was playing.'

O'Donnell (EXCLUSIVE) 'Fountain of Youth' Review: John Krasinski and Natalie Portman Bicker Their Way to Immortality Aronofsky's method was meant to help the actors get into character, as both play ballerinas in the film, competing for top billing in a prestigious production of 'Swan Lake.' The on-screen contention between the two devolves into a fever dream of violence, deception and abuse— both mental and physical. Behind the scenes, however, Portman and Kunis were too professional and supportive of one another to give in to Aronofsky's tactics. 'I remember being separated from Mila and that we weren't in the same space a lot when we weren't shooting,' Portman recalled, but when the director would try bating her with comments about Kunis' talent and commitment, she responded, 'She's so fucking talented and I love her so much and I'm happy she's doing a great job!' Kunis faced similar situations. She said, 'Darren would tell me, 'Nat is working really, really hard. She's not even taking Saturdays and Sundays off.' Then I would text Nat and she'd be like, '…No, I'm not?' I think that's how we figured out what Darren was up to, but it was all in good fun.' Nevertheless, both actors reflected fondly on their experience working with Aronofsky. ''Black Swan' was the first time I felt like I had a mind meld with a director, where each of us always knew exactly what to say. Every time we talked it felt like he gave me a little key that unlocked a scene for me,' said Portman. Kunis added that when journalists would ask her about Aronofsky's intensity on set, she'd respond, ''He's actually a really kind, lovely guy who took us to see 'Twilight' one time because we had the day off.' And journalists were always so disappointed that he wasn't some tortured soul who treated us like garbage.' Their collaboration paid off, as 'Black Swan' earned $329.4 million at the worldwide box office. Portman took home her first Academy Award for her performance and the film garnered four additional nominations— including best picture and best director for Aronofsky. Portman summed it up well when reflecting on her first time watching the film, calling it 'shocking and exhilarating in a really wonderful way.' Audiences will be able to relive that shock and wonder in Imax next weekend, and Aronofsky's next film, 'Caught Stealing,' will hit theaters Aug. 29.

Donald Trump deserves praise for having the nerve to meet Vladimir Putin face-to-face

Don's noble & fearless Not everyone will like me after I write this. But, then, some didn't like me even before I wrote this. Let's praise Donald. Thank him. Respect him. Who else had the gizzard, nerves, smarts to stand face-to-face to Satan's lying teeth in front of the world? Some don't believe in God, unsure about Buddha or Allah. OK. You don't like Donald? OK. But who else?! Biden — who's still looking where to pee? New Jersey's Menendez, who's now in the can? Even the Statue of Liberty shivered over Barack. Advertisement The whole world is scared. People tremble before asking bosses for a raise. Students cry before a test. Realtors just raise the rent. Nobody, nobody, not one body, has the gonads — besides Donald — to risk this risk. Don't like him? So? Mazel tov. Who else? Advertisement Who cares? You belch he's a dictator, too egotistical. So? Some things are in the veins. I share my home with a Yorkie. Name? Jellybean. I love him insanely. Jellybean's been housebroken for six years. He STILL pees on my kitchen floor. How about Adam Bullschiff who's now in the government's crosshairs. Him you like? Or Bernie Sanders, who specializes only in spitting? Slamdamnhammy, who has money yet lives in a cheapo apartment. That three-named ex-bartender who hit the Met Gala in an unpaid-for gown? These three blind mice are your selections? Them you like better? Dear leader Who you want to lead us? Another 'cold, austere, forbidding' John Quincy Adams, who did zip? Another Millard Fillmore, who thought slavery's not worth a civil war? Benjamin Harrison? Wore gloves before shaking hands? Coolidge? What did he do? Advertisement I don't hang around Mar-a-Lago like certain ancient leftovers hoping he'll notice and give them an ambassadorship in downtown Toiletville. But the man I have known for over 50 years, are we in touch? Yes. Quietly. By phone. By notes. By mail. Who else has the nerve, guts, strength, fearlessness to do this in the face of the entire world? How about the terrors of the rest of all of us? Afraid to take the subway. Afraid to walk alone at night. Afraid of the world. Sitting home watching TV eating your curds and whey while Donald — alone — is willing to risk? Remember Bush? Threw up on Japan's prime minister. Nixon? Well, forget Nixon. Bill Clinton's hobbies we know about. Advertisement So you say this one's a showoff? Yeah. So? He doesn't smoke. Doesn't drink. Has respectful children. He's redoing the White House, which hasn't been done since Sitting Bull sat up. He's disinfecting Washington, which makes today's Bed-Stuy look like Kiev. And the Dem donkeys — another word for donkeys is 'asses' — are knocking him? Dems da breaks Prefer another druggy Hunter type in the White House? More Secret Service bodies who shiver, quiver and can't notice a nearby shooter with a rifle? Jerk and Jill, who'd run up the hill to fetch another kettle of hair bleach? Citizenship in those nice places like Venezuela, Syria, Russia? Go. Send me a postcard from your cell. Steve Buscemi once said this: 'My favorite review described me as 'the cinematic equivalent of junk mail.' ' Our twice elected — fearless — Donald is doing. Trying. He should be applauded.

Emma Stone's 1 Red Carpet Fashion Regret

Everybody has their own fashion regrets — even Emma Stone. The acclaimed actor recently sat down for Vogue's Life in Looks series to take a spin through her sartorial past — and, as it turns out, there's one specific red carpet look that she wishes she did way differently. The look in question? This styling that she donned for the 2011 Critics' Choice Awards — but, in case you were thinking to yourself, "That dress is nice, though!", it's not because of the dress. Specifically, Emma wishes she hadn't had gone so hard on the spray-tan side of things. 'I'm from Arizona, and I don't have any pigment in my skin, so growing up, I was really obsessed with the idea of being tan,' she said. 'I thought, if you were dressing up and if you wanna look great, you should get a really, really dark spray tan." "My hands…look like I'm wearing gloves because [the spray tan] it's not on my hands. I love this dress. I felt so great in it, so great that I had to get a spray tan to really enhance how great I felt.' Emma also referenced her look at the 2011 Golden Globes as a similar example of the tan-tastrophe she was experiencing around this time. 'I looked like one solid thumb, and that dress is so pretty. Why did I decide to match my skin tone to the dress?' she asked rhetorically. Hey, it was the early 2010s. We're all older and wiser now! Watch the entire video here.
