Met Gala 2025 live updates: Real reason LeBron James is skipping the ball... despite being honorary co-chair
The biggest night of fashion is finally upon us... The 2025 Met Gala is taking place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City this evening.
Every year on the first Monday of May, a series of A-listers gather in their most extravagant looks for a lavish ball hosted by Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
Having a slew of stars in the same room usually makes for a wild and exciting evening, and this year's will be no different.
The red carpet will kick off at 4:30pm EST and Vogue will livestream the gala starting at 6pm EST on Vogue.com, its YouTube channel, and across its other digital platforms.
The theme this year is 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' - based on Monica L. Miller's 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
It is meant to pay homage to black dandyism, a style with European roots which started post-Emancipation and came out in full force during the Harlem Renaissance.
Join DailyMail.com's live coverage as we discuss the red carpet looks, the most dramatic ensembles of the night, the worst and best dressed, and all of the celebrity arrivals - and share updates from what's going on inside the coveted ball.

Vogue Williams admits she wasn't 'mature enough' to marry Brian McFadden
Vogue Williams, who is now married to Made in Chelsea's Spencer Matthews, has spoken about her first marriage to former Westlife singer Brian McFadden on occasion Presenter Vogue Williams has spoken about her divorce from Brian McFadden. She's opened up about the aftermath of their separation whilst reflecting on her growth as she approaches her milestone 40th birthday this year. Vogue, now 39, was married to former Westlife member Brian, now 45, from 2012 to 2017, though their separation was announced two years prior. She has since spoken about her ex-husband on occasion, including having written about their marriage in her new autobiography Big Mouth. She spoke about him again whilst a guest on a podcast in an episode released last month. Vogue told host Bryony Gordon that she thought she had "ruined" her life by getting divorced from Brian at the age of 31. Speaking about her fortieth birthday later this year, Vogue said: "I think I'm excited about it because remember like ... remember being liked 19 or 20, you think that 40 year olds were just really old and battered, but then when you actually get to it, you're like 'this is a really nice moment'." She continued on the Life of Bryony podcast: "I think in your thirties, you're trying to figure stuff out a little bit more. Because I remember ... I was divorced at 31. I was like 'basically that's it I've ruined my life. I'm never gonna have kids. I'm never gonna do what I always wanted to do'." Vogue, who now has three children with her husband Spencer Matthews, whom she married in 2018, added: "And then you see how your life actually starts to unfold, and that's why I think it's exciting to move into your forties." Elsewhere on the podcast, Vogue said that she considers herself to have been "too young" to get married to Brian, having been 26 at the time. She told Bryony that she "wasn't mature enough" then but was "in love" with the singer. In an interview published last month, Vogue told the Times when she thought the marriage was at risk. She said: "Maybe not long after we got married. Probably just before. I knew that it probably wasn't the greatest of relationships, but I was very young." She suggested that it's "hard to admit defeat" in any relationship and told the outlet that she found it "embarrassing" at the time. She said that it was "such a big failure" and noted that her separation from Brian was "very public". Vogue added that she found it "mortifying" to be divorced in her early thirties and that it was far from where she had hoped that she would be at that age. She said that she had wanted to be married with kids at 30, "not divorced and single". Years later though, she's now married to former Made in Chelsea cast member Spencer, with whom she shares three children. The couple celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary yesterday after tying the knot back in 2018. Reflecting on the milestone, Vogue wrote in a post joint post with her husband on Instagram last night: "7 years married today. 3 kids, two dogs and a whole lot of fun."

If I weren't a chef - I might have ended up as an extra on EastEnders
Located in one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods, the building was once among the first public houses in the capital. Montrose is led by the Radford family, the team behind Timberyard and is their second project, opened in 2023 as a relaxed neighbourhood counterpart. It serves generous, modern dishes and low-intervention European wines in an ethereal space with gothic accents. Sustainability lies at the core of Montrose's philosophy. The kitchen focuses on waste reduction, using a 'nose to tail' and 'root to shoot' approach to ensure minimal waste and maximum flavour. Montrose works closely with a select group of local farms to source ingredients that are dictated by the seasons, and the restaurant's design and operational choices are made with sustainability in mind. Read more: This week, Montrose head chef Moray Lamb answers takes on our Q&A: What was your first kitchen job? Oloroso in Edinburgh, a shocking 14 years ago. Where is your favourite place to eat out? In Edinburgh, L'Escargot Bleu Restaurant is a timeless classic. Traditional French food with brilliant Scottish ingredients. What is your guilty pleasure meal? Anything Sichuan with all the offal-y bits. Can you share a memory of your worst kitchen disaster? Undercooking beef Wellingtons for a wedding party. What is your signature dish? I don't have one, I don't really think I'll ever have a signature dish. I like changing the menu too often. Who would you say is your biggest inspiration? The staff. Talking daily about dishes, wine, and what we want to achieve within the restaurant is a big inspiration and drive for me. What is one of your pet peeves as a chef? Chefs who don't get excited about food and drink. If you weren't a chef, what do you think you would be doing with your life? I once was an aspiring actor. I probably would have ended up as an extra on EastEnders. Pictured: Montrose head chef Moray Lamb (Image: Supplied) What's your favourite trick for making cooking at home easier? Deliveroo. What has been one highlight that stands out in your career so far? Being part of an opening team for a restaurant is something I see as a highlight. I've been part of several openings now, and it's always so rewarding seeing people and an idea come together
