The Internet Is Upset Over Fashion Influencer Wisdom Kaye Not Being Invited To The 2025 Met Gala
This is popular TikTok fashion influencer and model, Wisdom Kaye.
You've probably seen him on your timeline showcasing unbelievable costume changes based on pop culture.
My favorite is when he revealed looks based on Avatar: The Last Airbender characters.
Last year, Wisdom brought his fan-favorite fashion sense to the Met Gala where he wore Robert Wun. Widsom perfectly exemplified the theme in a rose-inspired red suit.
Last year's exhibit was Sleeping Beauties: Rewakening Fashion, and the theme was "The Garden of Time."
So, based on his internet popularity and attendance last year, it's no surprise that everyone expected him to attend the Met Gala this year, primarily because of this year's theme.
This year's Met Gala exhibit is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, and the theme is "Tailored for You." It's based on Monica L. Miller's 2009 book, Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. It would make sense for Wisdom to attend again. Well, he's not, and fans are upset.

Last month, Wisdom posted a TikTok video addressing all the questions on whether or not he's attending the Met Gala. "I don't know if I'm going to the Met Gala," he said. "I know I went last year, but guys you have understand, the only reason I went last year was because TikTok literally bought a table. I was sitting next to Jack Harlow and Shou Chew, the CEO of this app. That's the only reason I went there, because they bought a table."
On May 4, Wisdom confirmed that he would not be attending the Met Gala with an X post, writing, "I was not invited to the met, I know you guys wanna see me there so just letting y'all know. Looking forward to seeing all the beautiful interpretations of black dandyism tmrw :)."
The fans did not take the news well, and many took to the internet to express their frustration.

Coco Gauff's French Open trophy isn't what she expected
French Open winner Coco Gauff recently revealed some surprising information about the tournament's trophy. Over the weekend, Gauff won her second career Grand Slam title after defeating world No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka. The 21-year-old phenom battled back after dropping the first set 7-6 to the Belarusian. She went on to win the next two sets, 6-2 and 6-4, respectively, in an impressive display of mental fortitude for such a young player. A win like that deserves some serious fanfare, and that's what Gauff got as she proudly showed off her trophy to the crowd post-match. Advertisement However, the Atlanta native recently revealed that the trophy used during the celebration ceremony (and for pictures and press) isn't the one she keeps. "Actually, we don't get to take this home. This stays with the tournament," Gauff said in a new TikTok video before revealing a miniature version. "It's really small," she says, chuckling, moments before putting it next to a Perrier bottle as a size reference. "It is very pretty and a miniature version of the real trophy. So, this is the one that I get to take home," Gauff continued as she reflected on her win while holding up her version of the trophy. Just in case anyone doubted her story, she also did a side-by-side photo comparison holding up her French Open hardware versus the one seen on the court. Advertisement It seems the trophy wasn't what she expected, but she's taking it in stride. We would argue it isn't all bad. It's travel size, and now, she can bring it out upon request or just to casually flex. That's a win-win.

No One Can Believe 8-Year-Old's Talent, Parents Say He's a 'Phenomenon'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An 8-year-old boy from Chicago is going viral for his exceptional music producing skills. Miles Bonham, known online as @milesmusickid, was challenged to produce a brand-new musical backing to Britney Spears' iconic hit "Toxic," without ever having heard the original track. In a clip on TikTok, young Bonham listened to Spears's isolated vocal track for the first time. Miles Bonham, 8, using advanced software to create his own music. Miles Bonham, 8, using advanced software to create his own music. @milesmusickid With no instrumental clues to guide him, the prodigious producer crafted an entirely new sonic landscape from scratch, layering chords, building synthesized sounds and programming drums. "This means that... Miles had to guess the chords that musically fit the vocals and choose the right instruments and sounds that would create the musical 'vibe' he envisioned from hearing only the vocals," Bonham's parents told Newsweek. What happened next stunned internet users. Bonham created his own music using advanced sound design software, including Serum, a tool more commonly used by professional audio engineers. His parents, who did not share their names, explained that Bonham started by designing instruments from scratch and used effects like reverb and compression to finish the mix. "Miles is usually a perfectionist when it comes to completing his original tracks, but since this project was a fun challenge, he didn't spend more than 90 minutes working on it," they said. Bonham's love for music started when he was around 15 months old. "He was always fascinated with music and developed a very advanced taste of music before reaching age two," his parents told Newsweek. At age four, he picked up a second-hand guitar and started teaching himself. By five, he was recording multitrack songs using professional software. Now, Bonham is considered the world's youngest professional music producer. He first drew global attention at age five, when videos of him producing full multitrack songs and playing up to eight instruments went viral. Since then, the "rising global musical phenomenon"—as described by his parents— has become a fixture in music circles, praised by music legends like Pharrell Williams, Lenny Kravitz, Charlie Puth and Mark Ronson. Bonham's clip has gone viral on TikTok, amassing over 21 million views on the platform. Users were blown away by the young boy's talent, with many calling him a musical genius. "From one artist to another, trust us when we tell you that he is unbelievably talented," one user wrote. "Bro is literally gonna [sic] be the next Benny Blanco," another said. But for the Bonhams, comparisons don't matter. "As parents, we want both of our kids to be well-adjusted, to follow their passions, and to define success and happiness on their own terms," they told Newsweek. And for Bonham? "In the future, he intends to be both an artist who performs his own music, as well as a producer and songwriter who helps other musical artists create their best work," they said.
