Who's the hot Met Gala mystery man that has the whole internet thirsting?
Lana Del Rey at the 2025 Met Gala with a handsome man in the background
The Met Gala red carpet is all about making a fashion statement that will have your image plastered all over the internet and fashion magazines, but one pop star was completely overshadowed by a handsome young man in the background of her photos.
Lana Del Rey attended the Met Gala on May 5, and while some people were commenting on the alligator pin in her hair — that seemed like a clear nod to her new alligator tour guide hubby Jeremy Dufrene — gay men on social media were thirsting after the cutie with the cheekbones standing behind her.

"I need him to top me till it's soggy," another person wrote.
There were also plenty of jokes that he 'outmugged' Del Ray, and the man's sexy smolder had everyone wondering who he was. Luckily, the internet sleuths were on the case and in no time at all identified him as New York City-based male model Nathan Overland, who is signed to Wilhelmina Models.
If you ever wondered why there are so many hot men in suits running around the Met Gala, it's because, the Anna Wintour hosted event hires male models as greeters to do everything from carrying purses to helping arrange trains so that the A-listers get their perfect shot.

Upstaging the star isn't usually part of the equation, but Overland did just that by serving face with his high cheekbones and bedroom eyes that have men across the internet drooling.
Overland himself has yet to comment on the photos, but he did post a photo of himself along with the Del Rey song 'Cinnamon Girl' to his Instagram Stories.

New York City's Best Chefs Pick Their Favorite Restaurants
After we published the 2024 list of the 100 best restaurants in New York City, we asked readers what restaurant would land at No. 1 on their own lists. This year, on the occasion of our 2025 list, we decided to pose a question to some of the chefs from the list itself: What's your favorite restaurant in the city right now? Their answers show a perfectly New York variety of neighborhoods and cuisines. Some even overlap with The Times's picks — but that's purely delicious coincidence. Wu's Wonton King Chinatown, Manhattan I like to go to restaurants that remind me of home, and Wu's Wonton King does just that. It's loud and chaotic in the best way, you order too much on purpose and spin the lazy susan for hours. The crab fried rice, loaded with sweet chunks of crab, is a must: I always finish the plate. Overall, it's just the kind of place where the food does all the talking, and that's my favorite kind of spot. — Vijay Kumar, Semma 165 East Broadway (Rutgers Street) Little Pepper College Point, Queens It serves Sichuan food and is run by a really sweet family. Mom up front, pops in back. The first time I ate there I was so full of joy that when the chef came out of the kitchen for a second, I just started clapping, and then everyone else joined in. I just wanted him to know how amazing his food was. I love everything on the menu there — cumin lamb, scallion fried rice, braised fish in spicy broth, salt and pepper prawns, and cabbage with dried chiles to name a few.— Dria Atencio, Salty Lunch Lady's Little Luncheonette 18-24 College Point Boulevard (18th Avenue) Raku East Village, Manhattan Want all of The Times?

What Global High Performance Racing League Has Teams Partly Owned By Hugh Jackman And Ryan Renyolds, Anne Hathaway, Tommy Hilfiger, And Other Celebrities?
The short answer is the SailGP—a high-speed, high-tech hydrofoiling sailboat racing series that takes place at iconic cities around the world. And since teams from USA, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Brazil, Italy, Canada, France, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and Spain will be racing in one of the most iconic cities in the world—New York City—this weekend. It comes as no surprise that new celebrity-team-owner announcements seem to be happening daily in the lead-up to the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix that will take place between the Battery, Governors Island, and the Statue of Liberty. But then again, celebrity boat racing team ownership is not new. Tom Brady owns an all-electric-powered E1 Racing team. Will Smith, Lebron James, and Rafa Nadal own E1 teams too. But, now that Australia's three-time SailGP champions have unveiled two new co-owners—Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds—who will be joining team Driver and CEO Tom Slingsby in leading the freshly rebranded BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team, it confirms that SailGP founders Russel Coutts and Larry Elision were right when they started the SailGP back in 2018. Sailboat racing can be exciting enough to attract celebrity team ownership--as long as the boats are fast, the venues are cool, the technology is cutting edge, and the racing is close enough to shore so fans can be part of the action. And I think we all can agree that it'd be hard to find cooler venue to watch a large fleet of hydrofoiling F50-catamarans scream around a racer course than NYC. Well, maybe watching the racing with Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in the Adrenalin Lounge might be a little cooler? I'll let Ryan Reynolds explain. 'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure. Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country as well as being an avid fan of sailing. He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride.' 'This is an incredible milestone for us and for our sport, having global icons Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds come on board as co-owners of our team,' Slingsby says. 'They bring unmatched star power, a love for storytelling, and a sharp sense of humor that fits perfectly with our team.' So, yes, after writing about sailing and yachts for over 30-years, I can report this level of star-power is new to sailing. And that's just the most recent announcement. It was only last week when America's Cup legend Jimmy Spithill, (who's also CEO, founder, and co-owner of the Italian SailGP team) announced that the team had been acquired by a consortium of accomplished investors and sports industry leaders, including Hollywood royalty, Anne Hathaway. And it was only several weeks before that when I heard that the Tommy Hilfiger was going to be partnering with the US SailGP team for this season. Then I spoke to Tommy in person and realized he's still as involved and as passionate about sailing and the yachting lifestyle now as he was when he launched his first sailing line. 'I've always been inspired by bringing the worlds of fashion and sport together,' Hilfiger says. 'And today's fashion is leaning into an elevated and luxury lifestyle. 'The sailing collection builds on our heritage which was inspired by my archive. But we're also looking ahead. Especially at what Mike Buckley is doing with the US SailGP Team. It's much more modern. It's basically Formula 1 on the water.' Who is Mike Buckley you ask? Well, he's the outspoken co-owner/strategist of the current US SailGP team. And he's a full-on evangelist when he talks about bringing the excitement and mass market appeal of high-performance sailboat racing to a wider audience. So, I was not surprised when I heard he landed a partnership deal with Tommy. 'I'd been trying to get the Tommy Hilfiger brand back into sailing since I sent a cold DM to Tommy's Instagram account in 2018. Um…he didn't respond. Then in 2019, I was sitting on my couch watching the Met Gala, when all of a sudden, Tommy and his wife are on the red carpet decked out in red, white and blue. And then Lewis Hamilton cam in next. All decked out in Tommy Hilfiger. I knew it was a sign. 'So when we bought the team in 2023, Virginia Ritchie, their CMO, was one of the first people I reached out to. Of course, I told her about my unanswered DMs to Tommy. And she probably thought I was crazy. But we actually aligned pretty quickly." And while the US SailGP team might be at the bottom of the leaderboard at the moment. No one will argue with the fact that few images will communicate how much the SailGP has 'arrived' in NYC this year better than Buckley's US SailGP boat foiling in front of the Stature of Liberty with the iconic red, white, and blue Tommy Hilfiger logo on its high-performance wing sail. So, if you want to see the action for yourself. It's officially called the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix. It takes place Jun 7-8. Governors Island will be transformed into a waterfront Race Stadium where Rolex SailGP Championship leaders, Tom Slingsby's Australian team will be marking Emirates GBR and Spain who sit at second and third in the standings. Peter Burling and his New Zealand Black Foils are currently forth in the standings. And I can say from experience the views will be spectacular. See you there?

After Watching Carrie's ‘And Just Like That' Rodent Infestation, I Asked: How Do You Get Rid of Rats in NYC?
A few short minutes into the second episode of And Just Like That's third season, we viewers see Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw typing away in her lovely Gramercy Park garden. The light is warm. A cute squirrel chews in a tree. The flowers bloom. The heels are high. And then—rats. In video footage of tsunamis, what might be even more eerie than the devastation wrought by the wave are the moments of calm that come before, when the tide gets sucked away from the sand. This is how I felt watching Carrie, writing an ill-advised historical fiction novel in that Instagram story typewriter font, as rats swarmed her garden, a mere whisker away from her satin Maison Margiela Tabi Monster bow pumps (which originally retailed for a casual $1,920). The rats all scurry out of an ominous rustling bush, making their own little Fast and the Furriest sequel. A plagued (get it) Carrie sets about hiring an exterminating company, 'Rat-A-Tat' (cute), employees of which proceed to tear up her entire garden. She then must hire a hot landscape architect played by Logan Marshall-Green, who is a serious actor but also the guy from The O.C. who gets shot to the sounds of Imogen Heap's 'Hide and Seek,' aka the 'mmmm whatcha say' song. I love television! For all that Sex and the City is meant to include New York City as the fifth lead or whatever, the show featured very few New York City rats, perhaps due to its uptown environs. Mice only show up in two episodes—the one where Charlotte dates a 'gay-straight' man (politically incorrect, also tea, Happy Pride Month) who freaks out when a mouse squeaks in his perfect kitchen, and the one where Mikhail Baryshnikov's Alexandr Petrovsky must murder a mouse in Carrie's normal apartment, back in the days before she became a real estate baron. But rats are a reality that all New Yorkers must face. A 2023 study revealed that there are about three million rats living in the city. Mayor Eric 'my haters become my waiters' Adams subsequently appointed the city's first 'rat czar,' tasked with reducing the rodent population with initiatives like rat birth control and putting garbage in cans instead of, say, the street. AJLT—always on the pulse! And so I couldn't help but wonder: is it possible to keep your NYC yard rat-free?
