Met Gala: How to watch fashion's biggest night of the year
Fashion's biggest night of the year has arrived with the 2025 Met Gala in New York City.
On the first Monday of May, celebrities flock to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan for a fundraising event. Each year has a theme and draws a following as fans wait in anticipation of the fashion looks that will be debuted on the red carpet.
Here's how to watch the event Monday evening:
Vogue will be livestreaming the event starting at 6 p.m. EDT on its website. Viewers can also tune in on Vogue's YouTube channel.
The livestream will be hosted by singer and actor Teyana Taylor, actor La La Anthony and comedian Ego Nwodim.
Pop culture television network E! will also be streaming a multihour red carpet event, which will begin at 6 p.m. EDT. A separate livestream will air on E!'s social media platforms, E! Online and Peacock from 6:30-8 p.m.
The Associated Press will livestream celebrity departures from the Mark Hotel beginning at 5 p.m. EDT and will stream the red carpet beginning at 6:30 p.m. on its website and YouTube channel.
What is this year's theme?
The 2025 theme explores Black style through 'Tailored for You.' The spring exhibition in the museum examines Black style and the history of dandyism.
It's the first gala to focus exclusively on Black designers and the first since 2003 to have a menswear theme.
When guests arrive at the Met Gala, they will arrive at the exhibition 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' Vogue said this year's theme is a nod to the exhibition's focus on menswear and is 'purposefully designed to provide guidance and invite creative interpretation.'
Vogue said the theme explores the tailoring of clothing in forming Black identities, with a focus on the 'emergence, significance, and proliferation of the Black dandy.'
About 450 guests composed of 'rising stars, young creatives' and celebrities of fashion, the arts, sports and politics are expected at the event Monday evening.

Pedro Pascal Appeared To Shock Even Himself When He Abruptly Blurted Out 'C**k' While Discussing Dakota Johnson's Childhood Nickname
If you have been anywhere near the internet in recent weeks, then you're probably aware of the fact that Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson, and Chris Evans are in the middle of a pretty hilarious press tour for their new movie, The Materialists. The trio — and particularly Pedro and Dakota — have proven to be a match made in press tour heaven, with clips from their various interviews often going viral on social media. However, nobody, including Pedro himself, was prepared for the star's NSFW outburst when he filmed a rapid-fire question video with Dakota for Vogue. In the video, which went live earlier this week, Pedro asked Dakota what her childhood nickname was, and could not hide his amusement when she casually replied: 'Cokey.'

You fucking idiot, oh my god.' But Pedro was still laughing so much that he couldn't breathe, eventually giggling: 'I'm gonna suffocate.' And needless to say, once this interview clip got out, it wasn't just Pedro laughing, with many people taking to social media to share their own reaction to the bizarre moment. Sharing the clip on X, one person wrote: 'her dry humor and his absolutely abominable mind is so funny omfg i LOVE it.' 'this shit has been taking me out since yesterday the 'you fucking idiot' has me in tears,' somebody else tweeted. Another echoed: 'I've been laughing about this all day today 😭' 'The way he immediately turned red,' another tweet observed, while one more joked: 'I'd pay a lot of money to have Dakota Johnson to call me a fucking idiot like this.'

What Swift fan accounts should know about copyright after Barstool's 'Taylor Watch' canceled
What Swift fan accounts should know about copyright after Barstool's 'Taylor Watch' canceled The rumors may be terrible and cruel, but the ones about Barstool Sports' "Taylor Watch" podcast being canceled are true. The podcast with 115,000 fans on TikTok, 78,000 fans on Instagram and 16,000 subscribers on YouTube — geared toward discussing all things Taylor Swift — aired its final episode on June 4. What was supposed to have been a celebratory moment for Swift regaining control of her masters started on a melancholic note as hosts Kelly Keegs and Gia Mariano sang "Ave Maria." The two sat in their brown leather chairs to acknowledge the termination of a show they've cultivated for two-plus years. "'Taylor Watch' is canceled," Keegs said on the 150th episode, "because having a music related podcast or something that can toe the line with lawsuits in general where it comes to music rights, whatever, is just not feasible with Barstool Sports at this time." One underlying issue lies in copyrighted photos, videos and music being used on social media. Several posts potentially opened parent company Barstool Sports to lawsuits, and the podcasters had two options: to cancel "Taylor Watch" or be fired. "It was all just stupid mistakes on my part," Mariano said on the podcast through tears. "It was never intentional. We would never think that we could just get away with something." "Or even jeopardize the company," Keegs jumped in. "We love working here." Long live the Eras Tour with our enchanting book The one- to two-hour episodes crafted a corner in the Swiftie community where fans (and some haters) tuned in to hear the thoughts of Keegs and Mariano. " Gia and I went to Paris Night 2 together, and there were some people coming up to us and saying what they liked about the show," Keegs tells the USA TODAY Network of Swift's May 10, 2024, concert. "Then by the time we were in Miami — that was a totally different experience — I couldn't believe how many people were coming up to us who knew who we were." The two hosts offered unfiltered thoughts on Swift's music, business moves, concerts and news. They would post short snippets to social media. A couple included some paparazzi photos and sped-up music pulled from the internet. "It's what I looked forward to every week," Keegs says. Her favorite part was the voicemail segment when people called in to offer their thoughts. "We got a call from a mom excited about the 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version).' She gave birth to her son when the first version came out and now he's a teen. She made him listen to 'Never Grow Up.' It was a beautiful full circle moment." Copyright's gray area So where do the legal lines lie for copyright? It's a perfect question for David Herlihy, an intellectual property, new media and entertainment lawyer who also teaches at Northeastern University in Boston. Copyright is the subject of entire college courses, so keep in mind the following is heavily abbreviated. Herlihy also provides an asterisk: " None of these things are absolute, but there are basic policy contours of copyright." Let's start with images and videos that fan accounts share on social media. Herlihy says the copyright of photos of Swift taken in a public place are owned by the photographers and can be licensed to news outlets. However, the photographers can't make merch with the photos, "because that's a commercial exploitation of her likeness." What about fan accounts that repost photos and credit them, do they need permission? Some cases can be deemed fair-use, which means using copyrighted material doesn't need permission under "certain circumstances." This balances copyright holders' intellectual property rights with the public's need to access and use information. "You're using the photograph for news reporting, commentary or for conversation, and the law regards news, commentary and conversation as valuable," Herlihy says. "So depending upon the nature of the use, the rights of the copyright owner may actually yield to other socially beneficial purposes." What Taylor Swift's trademark applications say about potential business moves. However, Instagram has a clear policy that users cannot post content that violates someone else's intellectual property rights, including copyright. 'Taylor Watch' is not the first account within the past month to get flagged. In fact a few behemoth Swift fan accounts with six digits in followers were recently sent to Instagram purgatory and deactivated for similar infractions including @ and @tstourtips. Meta, Instagram's parent company, did not comment on the deactivations to the USA TODAY Network. The accounts, which are not officially affiliated with Swift, share news, theories on upcoming announcements and records broken by the superstar. They foster micro-communities of the global fandom. And they celebrate moments like Swift buying back her first six albums from Shamrock Capital. For Keegs and Mariano, "Taylor Watch" was their safe space to gab about the superstar. 'It's not like we aren't Taylor fans still,' Keegs said. She tried to find a bright side explaining, "If we want to be poetic about it, I suppose you can say our watch has ended because [Swift's] gotten all of her stuff back."
