From Rihanna's Baby Bump to Walton Goggins as Beetlejuice: The best memes from Met Gala 2025
Every year, the Met Gala offers a visual feast of avant-garde fashion—and an all-you-can-eat buffet for meme-makers. The 2025 edition, themed Tailored for You, was no exception. As celebrities descended on the blue carpet in custom creations worthy of museum walls, social media responded with its own brand of couture: cheeky comparisons, pop culture throwbacks, and meme-worthy madness. Walton Goggins, Zendaya and Rihanna at Met Gala 2025
From Rihanna's headline-making reveal to Zendaya's hat déjà vu, the internet didn't miss a stitch. Because at the Met Gala, the tailoring may be bespoke—but the memes? They're made to order, served hot, and stitched with sarcasm. Rihanna: Bump, but no bops
The internet loves a surprise, but Rihanna's third pregnancy reveal came with mixed emotions. While the fashion was flawless, fans couldn't help but mourn the phantom album that still hasn't surfaced. 'Rihanna, when we said R9, we meant the album… not 9 kids,' one tweet sighed. Another admitted defeat with, 'Finding out Rihanna is actually pregnant again and not releasing that album at the Met Gala.' Zendaya: The hat that launched a thousand theories
Fashion darling Zendaya gave the crowd elegance in a cream suit and matching accessories, but the real scene-stealer? That hat. Eagle-eyed netizens instantly connected it to her 2014 Teen Vogue look featuring an oversized Emporio Armani hat, birthing the now-viral Zendaya theory—an entirely unserious but thoroughly entertaining idea that she's in an eternal fashion loop. Teyana Taylor: Disney villain, but make it couture
Teyana Taylor teamed up with Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter for a crimson three-piece suit and sweeping cape that screamed power. Naturally, the internet responded with glee, pointing out the undeniable resemblance to Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog. A villain? Hardly. But dramatic flair? Absolutely. Barry Keoghan: Beatles biopic or Vatican chic?
Dressed in custom Valentino, Barry Keoghan looked every bit the leading man in waiting. With his role as Ringo Starr in the upcoming Beatles biopic on the horizon, fans had their say: some saw Abbey Road, others saw Conclave. Either way, it was cinematic gold. Walton Goggins: White Lotus meets Beetlejuice
Making his Met Gala debut, Walton Goggins drew attention not just for his bold ensemble but for walking the carpet the same night as Aimee Lou Wood. Given their rumoured falling-out, the internet was primed for drama. What it got instead was a masterclass in composed co-existence—still meme-worthy, mind you, just less soap opera, more silent film.
Once again, the Met Gala delivered high fashion, and the internet dressed it down—lovingly, of course—with jokes just as tailored as the outfits.

Rapper Drake Bets $750K On Virat Kohli's RCB For IPL 2025 Final: 'Ee Sala Cup Namde'
Last Updated: Drake bets $750K on RCB to win IPL 2025, posts 'Ee sala cup namde' on Instagram. Drake is back in the cricket spotlight—and this time, he's going big for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. A year after surprising fans with his first-ever IPL bet, the Canadian rapper has placed a massive $750,000 wager on RCB to win the 2025 IPL final against Punjab Kings. The Grammy-winning artist revealed his latest bet on Instagram, much like he did during last year's IPL final. He posted a screenshot showing the amount staked and added the team's iconic slogan, 'Ee sala cup namde," which translates from Kannada to 'This year, the cup is ours." He also tagged Stake, the crypto sports betting platform he's endorsed since 2022. Drake could win a total of $1,312,500 if RCB lifts the trophy. His bet comes as fans rally behind the team, hoping to end their title drought in today's final. In 2024, Drake had gone viral after placing his 'first cricket bet" on Kolkata Knight Riders during the final against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Back then, he had captioned his Instagram post with the team's chant 'Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo." That move paid off—KKR went on to win the match, avoiding the so-called 'Drake Curse" that's often linked with the rapper's sports predictions. This year, however, RCB fans are holding their breath. Will Drake's bet be lucky for them too—or bring the curse back? Drake's involvement with Stake has grown over the years. While he first partnered with the platform in 2022, reports from Pitchfork say he now earns around $100 million a year through the deal. Earlier, Financial Times had estimated his earnings at $100,000 annually during the early phase of the partnership. He regularly posts his betting slips across sports like football, basketball, and now, cricket. IPL 2025 Finals Punjab Kings punched their ticket to the finals with a dramatic 5-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2, powered by an unbeaten 87 (41) from Shreyas Iyer, who has now become the first captain to lead three different franchises to an IPL final. RCB, meanwhile, sealed their spot earlier by defeating Punjab in Qualifier 1, continuing Virat Kohli's dream run this season. First Published: June 03, 2025, 10:26 IST

Recounting a particularly dark period after he had sold his company and was living in Park City, Utah, Brenkus described experiencing severe depression and suicidal thoughts. "I was flat-out suicidal," he revealed, adding that his dog, Zeppelin, ultimately saved his life by interrupting his suicide attempt. Following that experience, Brenkus sought professional help and eventually found support through a psychiatrist in Virginia. He said at the time that he had not experienced depression since then. Wiley reposted the announcement of Brenkus' death with a brief tribute, writing "RIP" alongside prayer and heart emojis. Remembered as "an innovator, an entertainer and an educator," Brenkus leaves behind a legacy that redefined how fans understand sports through the lens of science.
