Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra savagely trolled for their 'flop' Met Gala outfits
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra were brutally trolled over their bizarre Met Gala 2025 Met Gala looks on Monday.
Jonas, 32, and Chopra, 42, hit the red carpet in coordinated black and white looks, with the boyband singer decked out in Bianca Saunders and his wife in Balmain, paired with a wide brimmed hat.
However, fans noticed that Chopra's look was near-identical to Bette Midler's polka dot ensemble in iconic 1988 film Big Business, with the quirky ensemble even likened to Cruella de Vil and cartoon character Carmen Sandiego.
Meanwhile, Jonas was not immune to criticism either as his outfit - consisting of a cream colored turtleneck and scarf with black pants - saw him likened to a 'preppy bull rider.'
One fan wrote: 'So Nick Jonas went as a preppy bull rider? Then Priyanka Chopra went as Bette Midler in Big Business.'
Even Harper's Bazaar threw some subtle shade at the couple, tweeting, 'Nick Jonas found shade under Priyanka Chopra's massive hat at the 2025 Met Gala.'
Others wrote: 'Nick Jonas flop of the year.
'Nick Jonas. I don't get it lol.
'Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra attend his high school reunion #MetGala.
''Priyanka's outfit is kinda giving Cruella and I love it.
'It's giving Carmen Sandiego meets 101 Dalmatians.
'What a joke! Her hat was so big, he couldn't even stand next to her.
The 2025 Met Gala theme was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, inspired by the 2009 Monica Miller book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity and coinciding with the Met's upcoming exhibit on Black fashion.
Jonas recently made a return to Broadway in The Last Five Years, where he stars alongside Adrienne Warren.
The play follows the five-year relationship between Jamie Wellerstein (Jonas), a rising novelist, and Cathy Hiatt (Warren), a struggling actress.
The play was written by Jason Robert Brown and was adapted into a film in 2014 starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.
Chopra will next be seen in the summer action film Heads Of State alongside John Cena and Idris Elba, debuting on Prime Video July 2.

Brooke Shields rocks youthful look at Call Me Izzy Broadway opening after calling Meghan Markle 'too precious'
Brooke Shields showed off a casual-cool look that made her look years younger than her age when she made a splash at the opening night of the Broadway play Call Me Izzy. The 60-year-old actress showed off her impressively toned arms in a button-up best as she joined other stars on the red carpet in New York City on Thursday. Brooke stepped out just days after she admitted to criticizing Meghan Markle for being 'too precious' during a live event in front of thousands of people last year. exclusively reported earlier this week that King Charles ' goddaughter India Hicks had removed a clip of Brooke speaking about the surprising critique on her personal website. For her Broadway attire, she paired her black vest with a flared pair of high-waisted dark-wash jeans. The sleek pants, which emphasized her trim figure, were paired with modest black heels decorated with gold eyelets. Brooke completed her low-key ensemble with her lustrous brunette hair, which she wore in thick waves draped over her shoulders. She was attending the one-woman drama Call Me Izzy (its title is an allusion to Moby Dick's opening line, 'Call me Ishmael.'), which stars Jean Smart. The Hacks actress plays a downtrodden housewife in Louisiana who cultivates a secret life of the mind by writing poetry, which she has to keep secret from her abusive husband, whom she also plays, in addition to other supporting characters. Initial reviews were mixed on the play and its script, but Jean's performance received widespread acclaim. Brooke has been a vocal fan of Jean's hit HBO series Hacks, which recently wrapped up its fourth season and has been renewed for a fifth. Last year, she told that she loved the show and Jean 'so much,' and she claimed its other lead Hannah Einbinder had pledged to try to get the show's writers room to come up with a guest part for her. When Hannah appeared on the Today Show later, she sounded shocked that Brooke would share their conversation. 'Oh, my God! Wait, that's so — wow, Brooke Shields that's crazy,' she said, before vowing to keep her promise to find a way to get the veteran actress on her show. The sleek pants, which emphasized her trim figure, were paired with modest black heels decorated with gold eyelets. Brooke completed her low-key ensemble with her lustrous brunette hair, which she wore in thick waves draped over her shoulders Brooke recently caused a scandal when she admitted that she shut down Meghan Markle onstage last year. The two were part of a panel discussing International Women's Day at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, when the former Suits star, 43, began answering a question that Brooke thought turned overly serious. 'Katie asks the first question to Meghan and talks about how at a young age, she was already advocating for women, etcetera, etcetera,' Brooke explained. '[Meghan] starts telling a story about how when she was 11... And she keeps saying, well, when I was 11, I saw this commercial and they were talking about washing dishes and only soap for washing dishes was for women. 'And she said, "I didn't think only women wash dishes. It wasn't fair. So I wrote to the company. And when I was 11, I wrote my first letter and when I was 11..." and she kept saying she was 11! She wrote to the company, they changed the text, they changed the commercial.' At that point, Brooke said, she couldn't resist breaking the tension in the room and the earnestness of Meghan's response. 'I go, "Excuse me, I'm so sorry. I've got to interrupt you there for one minute." 'I was trying not to be rude, but I wanted to be funny because it was so serious. '"I just want to give everybody here a context as to how we're different,"' Brooke told the audience. 'I said, "Well, when I was 11, I was playing a prostitute." 'The place went insane. And then luckily, it was more relaxed after that.' The comment was a reference to Brooke's breakout role as a child star in the controversial 1978 film Pretty Baby, in which she played a child sex worker, a role that sparked debate at the time and has remained the subject of intense scrutiny in the decades since. In Austin, the moment broke the ice, as the crowd broke out into laughter. 'I was like, oh, I hope she doesn't think I'm rude. I'm not being rude,' Brooke added. India — daughter of Lady Pamela Mountbatten, a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth II, and the late interior designer David Hicks, agreed that lightening the serious mood Meghan created was the right thing to do. 'I think it's genius,' she said. Reflecting on the exchange, Brooke added: 'It was just too precious. And I was like, they're not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious.' Despite the crowd's response, Brooke acknowledged that the moment might not have gone down quite so well with Meghan herself. 'This was in front of [thousands of people]. I mean, it was crazy,' she said. 'And then afterwards, she was kind of like, oh, okay. And I was like, let's just have some fun with it.' Brooke added: 'I don't know if you'll have to cut this out.' After the episode came both Brooke and India were accused of being 'racist Karens' and 'b*****s' on X (formerly Twitter) due to the comments.

Call Me Izzy review – Jean Smart is better than her one-woman show
We seem to be in the midst of a solo show boomlet on Broadway, with established screen actors testing their mettle via the downright athletic feat of carrying a production alone. On Sunday, the Succession actor Sarah Snook won the Tony for best actress in a play for her 26 roles in The Picture of Dorian Gray; two years earlier, Jodie Comer won for her equally kinetic solo performance in Prima Facie and just this week, John Krasinski's (mostly) solo show Angry Alan opened off-Broadway. The appeal is clear: the one-man show is a flex, a feat of performance under a significant amount of pressure. It takes a village, always, but it all comes down to the person on stage. Luckily for Call Me Izzy, writer and journalist Jamie Wax's debut play on Broadway, that person is Jean Smart. The 73-year-old actor, most famous, at least at the moment, for her starring turn on the Max comedy Hacks, possesses the kind of seasoned verve and magnetic presence that is never less than fun to watch, even if the material can't match her. Like her Emmy-winning Hacks character Deborah Vance, Smart is making the most of a late-career renaissance, surfing a wave of goodwill to the bright lights at Studio 54 for her first Broadway role in a quarter century, where she plays a woman with starkly different means – though no less resilience. Those means are strikingly – one might say a little too strikingly – sparse. We first meet Isabelle Scutley, neé Fontenot, in the fall of 1989, cleaning the toilet in her trailer's bathroom – her home's one source of privacy and the stage's one consistent set (stocked with period-specific cleaning supplies by scenic designer Mikiko Suzuki MacAdams). Her vocabulary and bank of literary references, recited from memory in reveries shaded, in this staging by Sarna Lapine, by elegiac blue light (lighting design Donald Holder) are expansive; her words, in Smart's convivial, conspiratorial delivery, are truncated, as is her life in the small town of Mansfield, Louisiana, where she was born and where she has always remained. Once a promising student with a preternatural gift for language, Izzy was whisked to the trailer park by a marriage at 17 – such was 'the natural order of things', she tells us – and has been beaten down ever since. Her husband Ferd, which in Izzy's thick Louisiana drawl mutates to Irv, Erd or Thurd with each mention, is an alcoholic pipe fitter with a vicious mean streak. (Smart, who grew up in Seattle, worked with a dialect coach; as a midwesterner, I am simply unfit to judge the accuracy of the results.) He hates when she reads, spits on her dreams, rages when she has a personality and refuses to call her by her desired name, Izzy. Smart plays him, via Izzy's inner monologue, with a skin-crawling sneer. For an unspecified number of years, Izzy has turned inward, writing poems on toilet paper in the bathroom with her eyebrow pencil and hiding them in her Tampax box – the one place Ferd would never look – the Tampax box then concealed by a piece of fabric, as they are too poor even for cabinets. (In the way of Hollywood these days, Smart's character is a vague age somewhere between 40 and her own.) Stalled out in survival mode, an escape hatch emerges via a new friend named Rosalie and a library card, her 'secret ticket to anywhere'. Reading gives way to a romance with Shakespeare's sonnets (and more recitation), to validation, recognition, acclaim and a collision course with Ferd's willingness to physically beat any self-worth out of her. There's an inherent charge to seeing Izzy, as imbued with Smart's natural charisma, break free; the script is peppered with wizened, self-deprecating cracks that Smart relishes: 'I can fake an orgasm but I can't fake a hug worth shit,' she quips. But there's also an inescapable discomfort to milking such abject need, to hearing such graphic descriptions of physical abuse, for the sympathy of Broadway audiences at hundreds of dollars a pop. Smart is, obviously, a gifted comic actor and extremely compelling storyteller, but her gravity cannot overcome the nagging sense that this story – an indisputably genius writer overcomes indisputably dire circumstances via grit and the power of education – is the theatrical equivalent of the poverty porn that has baited Oscar voters for years. Smart, as ever, imbues her characters with rough edges and idiosyncrasies, world-weariness coupled with an endearing naivety; her plaintive, rueful delivery of a brief description of reconciliation after a beating, how his regret provoked a feeling of closeness akin to a drug, hints at a more complicated version of the woman than on the page. It's easy to cheer for Smart, and as evidenced by rounds of pitying applause at Studio 54, a little too easy for this show.

Dua Lipa confirms engagement to Callum Turner
Months after posting photos of what appeared to be an engagement ring, Dua Lipa confirmed her engagement to actor Callum Turner. 'Yeah, we're engaged,' Lipa said in an interview with British Vogue published on June 12. 'It's very exciting.' Lipa said Turner had the ring made after discussions with her sister and best friends. 'I'm obsessed with it,' Lipa said. 'It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' At the end of 2024, Lipa posted photos on Instagram that sparked speculation from fans that the 'Don't Start Now' singer was engaged, as she appeared to be sporting an engagement ring. Over the past few months, the ring had been displayed in more social media posts, as well as on the Met Gala red carpet, where she and Turner walked together. The pair were first spotted together at the beginning of 2024, and were Instagram official later in the year. Despite their whirlwind romance, Lipa told British Vogue they haven't started wedding planning yet. 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period,' she said. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'' The 29-year-old added that even though she's seen other people get engaged, she 'never really understood the weight of it.' But now, she said, 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever — it's a really special feeling.' Lipa said she first met Turner, 35, at The River Cafe in London when she was having dinner with her father and he was grabbing a meal with friends. But they could have met several times before, she explained. In 2014, she was working at a London restaurant, and they later found a photo of Turner outside of the same spot. And in 2020, they went to the same party, pre-COVID, and even had photos with the same guy in the background, she said. About a year after she was introduced to Turner at The River Cafe, she was having dinner in Los Angeles with a friend, 'and all of a sudden Callum shows up,' she said. 'Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe,' she recalled thinking at the time. Lipa said Turner walked over and asked her what she was reading, and she answered 'Trust,' by Hernan Diaz. 'And we both just happened to be reading the same book,' she said. When asked if all of the events makes her feel like they were destined to be together, she replied, 'One thousand per cent.'
