Doja Cat Stuns In Oxford-Inspired Marc Jacobs Kiki Platform Heels on the Met Gala 2025 Red Carpet
Doja Cat served up glamour at the 2025 Met Gala held on Monday in New York. The theme for the evening is 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.'
The 'Say So' singer sported an extreme pair of platform Kiki boots from Marc Jacobs. The sky-high style was ankle length and featured black glossy patent leather uppers that transitioned into thin straps that traveled up the length of the shoe, threaded through adjustable buckle closures in silver. The shoe is meant to mimic the look of a preppy Oxford, perfect for the occasion.

Shockingly high platform soles gave way to even higher stiletto heels, likely standing at 6 to 7 inches in height. Marc Jacobs' Kiki silhouette has become a famous one for the brand. The style is usually equipped with block heels, but Doja's differ likely because her pair was custom. The shoe was paired with sheer black nylon tights.
The 'You Right' rapper also wore a custom Marc Jacobs look to go with her platforms. Created alongside the designer, Doja's look consisted of a structural blazer made to look like a bodysuit. The waist was nipped, further emphasizing the tailored theme of the night. The front featured cheetah-printed blocking that transitioned into structural shoulders and sparkling silver pinstriping.
The 2025 Met Gala is being held tonight in New York. The theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' celebrates all things African American styles and culture. This year's co-chairs include Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky and Pharrell Williams, along with Vogue's Editor In Chief Anna Wintour. The gala gathers top stars from all walks of life, celebrating the arts and fashion for one night each year on the first Monday in May.
The singer's shoe pick is grungy and edgy, on par with her style choices both on and off the stage. Doja loves Christian Louboutin, Aldo, Jimmy Choo, Miu Miu, Tony Bianco, Alexander McQueen and Prada.

Stella McCartney Resort 2026 Collection
Did you see that no-visible-means-of-support dress that Stella McCartney was wearing at the Met Gala? The one where she was standing next to Mary J. Blige, who was in an ivory Stella tuxedo and coat? Somehow, said dress, in white, forest-friendly viscose, was suspended from a wired off-the-shoulder infrastructure. It then swooped into a deep plunge, and flowed onwards into a sumptuous goddess-y drape. But how does it stay on? 'It's architectural, almost like a Christo,' she explained on a Zoom call. 'It's suspended off a corset. The corsetry comes up, and it just captures you, and it just extends beyond the area of your bust and creates this dramatic silhouette. I love the simplicity of it, and the drama of it.' It turns out she was test-driving the studio prototype at the Met. 'It feels so wearable when you have it on. I think it's quite difficult to create a dress that you can wear and feel modern, and still yourself in,' she testifies. That dress, as well as other variants on the wired neckline, appear in the pre-spring collection. Recently—since she became independent—McCartney has become even more focused on what she does best. 'On the strengths that we have that are very clear to me and to the team and also very individual. I think it's about having an attitude. A really strong point of view that I have always had as Stella. And this effortlessness as well.' Dilution and caution are not part of the plan. This pre-spring collection is named A Walk on the Wild Side, a punning nod to McCartney's love for nature and animals, as well as for hot, sexy dressing. It repeats and underscores the shapes in the last runway collection—and the idea she tags 'Laptop to Lapdance,' the synonym for day-to-evening, in Stella-speak. The laptop itself can be accommodated in the enlarged Ryder bag, which comes in recycled faux suede or ostrich look-alike Mycelium-based leather. 'We are an activist brand, and an artistic brand. You can have both.' She has something to cover every eventuality, in a collection that is achieved with 96% conscious materials and is 100% cruelty-free. There is her tailoring (eternally inspired by the Savile Row bespoke suits her parents ordered from Tommy Nutter), a white midi-dress with a back-dipping hem, and a sweatsuit with knitwear embedded trompe l'oeil-wise in the front. Loving animals doesn't hold Stella back from loving animal prints. Last season it was snake, this time it's an oversized ocelot fur pattern, scanned from a photograph of the cat's incredibly beautiful markings. The arc of the brand's offering includes a full spectrum of eveningwear. The drapey, clingy super-short part of it surely harks back to the 1980s and to the second coming of body-con, the neon-bright disco-dress rage which came out of London in the 2000s. She likens the super-molded ones to lingerie contour engineering. 'Just really simple, like power mesh, this little suck-you-in hot, sexy, chuck-it-in-a-bag dress,' as she puts it. A whole new generation can now take advantage of this; if they were born in 2000, they'd be 25 years old, which happens to be exactly the same age as the Stella McCartney business. The arc of what McCartney does lands in souped-up denim—she says she's been doing well with demand for fake leather 'chaps' jeans and standouts like her fierce cross-lacing seamed ones. There's a tank printed with the word HARDCORE amongst this section. Meaningless fun? Yes, maybe, yet even there, McCartney's relentless pursuit of eliminating harm shows up. According to the press release, the black printing is done with Living Ink, a natural renewable non-toxic dye made from spirulina waste, a byproduct 'from the national supplement industry.'

Kris Jenner and why everyone's asking about deep plane facelifts
Kris Jenner and why everyone's asking about deep plane facelifts Show Caption Hide Caption Met Gala: Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner arrive Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner arrive at the Met Gala red carpet. Kris Jenner, Lindsay Lohan and Christina Aguilera – what's in the Hollywood water that seems to be aging these celebrities backwards? The internet is convinced (without proof) it's a procedure called the deep plane facelift, though Lohan, for her part, insisted her look is courtesy of green juice, ice water and becoming a mom. Generally speaking, celebs' plastic surgeries are much more talked about these days, explains Dr. Daniel Knott, director of facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery at UCSF Health. The identity of Jenner's surgeon was revealed by both Page Six and People after the internet erupted over her latest look. And more transparency among stars is impacting how real people talk about cosmetic procedures. 'People are more forthright about things like this. Before, they were done in a more secretive sense,' he says. 'There's less shame and more openness about these things.' As transparency trends, however, some will still remain coy. So, what is the deep plane facelift? Here's everything you should know about the buzzy procedure. What is a deep plane facelift surgery? A deep plane facelift is a facial surgery where the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, or SMAS, is lifted to achieve a more youthful look, Knott says. The SMAS is a layer of connective tissue that sits underneath the skin and on top of the facial muscles. 'The plane you operate in is deeper, the skin is thicker and it holds the tension better,' Knott says. 'It's also a much longer-lasting outcome and the scarring is as good as possible because it doesn't widen or thicken.' The recovery time ranges from seven to 14 days, and the results can last 15 years or longer, he says. The price can vary widely depending on the location, surgeon and if other procedures are needed, sometimes between $25,000 and $100,000. 'Benjamin Buttoning': Christina Aguilera and 'undetectable' plastic surgery How does it differ from traditional facelifts? Traditional facelifts typically only lift the skin, are less complicated and the results don't last as long compared to deep plane facelifts, Knott says. Deep plane facelifts are also more likely to maintain blood supply to the skin since it's still attached to the SMAS, he says. Although it's a deeper surgery, the operation and recovery time don't differ drastically from traditional facelifts. The cosmetic procedure has been around for about 35 years but not every surgeon performs them because they're more complicated and require close work on important facial muscles and nerves, Knott explains. The deep plane is also technically two operations – one for each side of the face – which means a surgeon's work must be symmetrical. 'It requires confidence to stitch and know where the muscles and nerves are,' he says. 'It takes a surgeon who has sufficient experience.' What surgeons want patients to know Knott urges patients to research their surgeon before trusting them with a deep plane facelift. 'Don't just trust the social media and webpage,' he says. 'Look into the surgeon's history.' If done suboptimally, deep plane facelifts can lead to complications such as muscle or nerve damage, infections, irregular hairlines, asymmetry and necrosis, among others. 'Choose your surgeon carefully,' Knott says. 'Make sure they're well-trained, board-certified and have a long history of well-established, good results.'

The Stylist Behind Young Hollywood's Coolest Looks
'Even when I think my schedule is chill, it usually isn't,' stylist Jared Ellner says from his home base of Los Angeles, where he's just returned after a stint in Europe. For the past few weeks, he's been juggling a slate of overlapping international projects, including the wardrobe for A new class of young creatives is driving entertainment forward: YouTube wunderkind-turned-entrepreneur Guel Sener/Thom Browne Molly Gordon in Thom Browne. A self-proclaimed fashion nerd who grew up in suburban New Jersey, Ellner fed his obsession by taking sewing lessons and studying both fashion and art history. He enrolled at Parsons for fashion design, where he built his stamina for sleepless working nights. After college, he took an assistant gig at the now-defunct Garage magazine. The first shoot he styled solo featured Chamberlain; about a year later, her publicist called to ask if he'd consider working with her full-time. Ellner has a track record of taking a client from fashion newbie to front-row fixture. A prime example is Chamberlain, who signed on as a Louis Vuitton ambassador—a first for a YouTube-native talent—in 2019. The two worked together on a handful of projects before her first Met Gala in 2021. 'Things got much more serious after that,' he recalls. (They are so close that Chamberlain modeled Ellner's self-titled fashion line when it launched this past fall.) Dimitrios Kambouris // Getty Images Sabrina Carpenter in vintage Bob Mackie. Sennott was his second client, a connection made by their mutual friend (and her Shiva Baby co-star) Gordon. He styled Sennott for the movie's premiere—her first time working with a stylist. 'We were so green, and now she's a Balenciaga [campaign star],' he says. Ellner's encyclopedic fashion knowledge informs his work, and he's unafraid to drop an archival reference—a styling tactic that has sparked heated discourse among fans online. 'I think people are rightfully fatigued by it, so it's a balance of figuring out when it feels authentic, impactful, and useful, and when it feels like a crutch,' he explains. His favorite nod to the past thus far? Guts , and a year later, Carpenter wore a look from his fall 1994 show for New Year's Eve. Courtesy of Jared Ellner Stylist Jared Ellner. Styling is intimate and requires intense vulnerability, so when it comes to Ellner's clients, the lines often blur between the personal and professional. 'I am so comfortable and productive with Jared, because the foundation of our relationship is friendship rather than business,' Chamberlain says of their partnership. 'We are not afraid to disagree and voice our opinions, because we trust the bond we have, which allows us to truly collaborate.' Gordon echoes this sentiment, saying, 'Jared is so giving, warm, and kind, but he has a cutting honesty that I trust 100 percent.' 'The sweetest part of the job is that all of these people feel comfortable allowing me into such personal parts of their physicality, their image, and their communication of themselves to the world,' Ellner says. With his long-term clients, he enjoys helping to curate an overall image that goes beyond just a year or two of looks. 'The balance of styling is keeping everybody in their zone while also allowing the freedom to experiment and be a different person for a day, without feeling inconsistent with their personal brand,' he explains. A recent moody turn he's proud of is Chamberlain's Oscar after-party look, which might just be his favorite: a Gareth Cattermole // Getty Images Another important through line for Ellner's clients? While they're all serious talents, they don't take themselves too seriously. 'There are a lot of people who would not be comfortable taking a risk or doing anything even slightly off-kilter for a major moment,' he says. 'But all my girls—they're fearless.'
