Leonardo DiCaprio Makes Met Gala Debut
Being the pop culture obsessive I am, I spent my Monday night watching the Met Gala red carpet livestream like a hawk, taking note of every single arrival. So, imagine my surprise when I hear that Leonardo DiCaprio was there… and I somehow missed him?
Yep, the notoriously private movie star made a surprise appearance at fashion's biggest night this week — presumably in support of his 26-year-old supermodel girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, who stunned on the red carpet in a navy pinstripe Moncler x EE72 dress.
Leo and Vittoria were first linked in 2023 and have kept their relationship incredibly private ever since.
As for how I missed it, it turns out Leo opted to skip the big red carpet. And his attendance probably would have gone completely under the radar if not for Vogue's photographer inside the Met, who managed to snap a sneaky pic of Leo and Vittoria walking into the party together.
In keeping with the night's dress code, 'Tailored for You,' the Oscar-winning actor wore a black tuxedo and matching bowtie, and — in classic Leo style — the pic shows him cracking a smile while trying to conceal his face from the cameras. (If there's one thing about this man, he will find a way to avoid being photographed.)
Despite having dated his fair share of supermodels, this impressively marks the first time Leo has ever attended the Met Gala. All I need to know now is how he got past Anna Wintour without walking that red carpet… maybe next year!
You can study the pic of Leo and Vittoria here. To see who else was at this year's Met, here's where you can find the rest of our coverage.

Hailey Bieber's ‘Priority Is Protecting Her Family' Amid Speculation About Husband Justin's Mental Health
Heads turned when Hailey Bieber stepped out of NYC's Carlyle Hotel. Wearing a black double-breasted menswear-inspired Saint Laurent mini dress, sky-high patent leather heels and Tiffany & Co. diamonds, she waved to photographers with one hand while clutching a vodka cocktail in the other as she left for the Met Gala. 'One thing about me,' she wrote on her Instagram Stories following the glamorous May 5 event — which she attended solo — 'is I'm gonna wear a blazer and drink a martini.' Another thing about Hailey? She's not going to answer questions about her husband, Justin Bieber, amid ongoing speculation over his health and well-being. Fresh concerns for the music star, 31 — who instead of attending the gala alongside his wife watched an NHL playoff game with friends, he revealed on Instagram — emerged one day earlier after he posted yet another image of himself using a bong. Though it's unclear exactly what he was smoking, the snap came weeks after he was spotted dancing and lighting up what fans believe was marijuana next to his 15-year-old brother, Jaxon, at California's Coachella music festival in April, following months of similarly worrying behavior. While his rep in February told TMZ the Grammy winner wasn't using hard drugs, branding the 'harmful narratives' about Justin's mental and physical health and tired, gaunt appearance 'exhausting,' Hailey, 28, is loath to publicly engage. 'She refuses to make excuses or speak for Justin,' a source exclusively tells Life & Style. 'The constant speculation about his mental state and their marriage has to be tough, but Hailey has a remarkable ability to stay calm. She is resilient and won't take any crap.' After nearly seven years of marriage to a former child star who's long courted controversy and been candid about his past issues with substance abuse and depression, Hailey's figured out how to handle the attention. The model, influencer and founder of the skincare line Rhode — who gave birth to their first child, son Jack, in August — 'makes and follows her own rules,' explains the source. 'Friends say her priority is protecting her family. Justin and Jack come first, which is why she is tuning everyone else out. She's focused on their future, not the drama.' That doesn't mean facing the seemingly never ending chatter has been easy. Fans follow and react to Justin's every move, so when he posts pictures with drug paraphernalia or confesses he's dealing with imposter syndrome — as he did this spring in a heartbreaking Instagram message, admitting he's 'always felt unworthy, like I was a fraud' and 'definitely feel[s] unequipped and unqualified most days' — they worry. So do friends and former members of the 'Sorry' singer's inner circle, many of whom he's cut ties with over the last year, including former manager Scooter Braun, 43. 'Whatever [Justin's] going through, I pray for him and hope he's OK,' songwriter Poo Bear, 45, a former collaborator, told The Hollywood Reporter in April. An ex member of Justin's team further told the outlet 'seeing him disintegrate like this' makes them think 'he's lost' and that 'there's no one protecting him.' A source close to the 'Love Yourself' hitmaker, however, insisted Justin isn't in distress. 'Artists are artists — they don't look at the world the way you and I do,' that source told THR, claiming, 'He's healthier than all of us — physically and mentally.' Justin and Hailey have put on a united front. He's been complimenting her social media posts — 'I see it I like it and I want it,' he commented on her Met Gala pics — and accusing haters of being envious. 'Honestly if I was [you] it would be hard not to be jealous if I saw me and Hailey going so brazzzzyy,' he told his Insta followers in April. 'Hailey and I are the Jones's [sic] that are impossible to keep up with.' Hailey's previously vowed to support Justin through anything. Three years into their marriage, she recounted a difficult period early on when he was struggling with his mental health. 'Imagine abandoning somebody in the middle of the worst time of their life,' she said on the "In Good Faith with Chelsea & Judah Smith" podcast, insisting, 'I'm not that type of a person.' That hasn't changed, the source confirms: 'Those who know her best are proud of the strength Hailey's shown.'

Hailey Bieber Reveals Postpartum Stress Over Ongoing Justin Bieber Split Rumors: ‘It's a Mindf–k'
Hailey Bieber opened up about her difficult postpartum experience amid ongoing rumors that she and her husband, Justin Bieber, are experiencing trouble in paradise. 'Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I've ever gone through in my life, and learning a new version of myself is very difficult,' Hailey, 28, told Vogue in an interview published on Tuesday, May 20. 'And to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, 'They're getting divorced and they're this and they're not happy': It is such a mindf--k. I cannot even begin to explain it. It's a crazy life to live.' Hailey and Justin, 31, got married in 2018, and they welcomed baby No. 1, son Jack Blues, in August 2024. Despite once seeming like a solid couple, Hailey and Justin have recently been making headlines amid speculation that they're headed for a split. The rumors hit a new level when it was reported that Hailey unfollowed Justin on Instagram, though she insisted that fans had nothing to worry about. 'It's a glitch. Didn't unfollow him. Hope this helps!' she wrote in the comments section of a TikTok video about their alleged estrangement in March. While speaking to Vogue, Hailey added that Justin's experience as a child star has helped her learn how to respond to haters online. 'I've learned so much from Justin, really,' the model said. 'He's been doing this literally since he was a child and he has had to face the most scrutiny of any person that I know. He was like, 'Baby, trust me, I've been here before many, many times. You're not going to win. There is no winning.'' In addition to admitting that rumors about her and Justin's alleged issues have been hard to navigate, Hailey also shared that she hasn't had the easiest time transitioning to motherhood and said she has struggled with her changing body. 'Every day I have to talk to myself, like, 'Hailey, you had a baby … You grew a human. You birthed a human. It's OK. Give yourself grace. Give yourself time,'' she said. 'When people talk about 'bouncing back' — back where, because my hips are wider, my boobs are actually bigger than they were before. They did not go back. And great, I'll take it, but it's not the same body that it was before.' Their relationship rumors come amid concerns for Justin's health. While fans have wondered if Justin's gaunt appearance was due to drug use, his rep previously told TMZ the 'Baby' singer wasn't abusing drugs. In March, an insider exclusively told Life & Style that their relationship had some cracks. 'His behavior's been troubling for some time. What fans are seeing now is just a small taste of what his life is really like,' the source dished. 'He goes through periods where he isolates, then periods where he's active and will spend time with friends. Justin can also have pretty intense low periods.' Additionally, the insider said that Justin's behavior 'takes a toll on Hailey.' Despite their issues, the source added that 'divorce isn't an option right now' and Hailey is 'hoping Justin can turn things around.'

Leah Remini reveals where she and Jennifer Lopez stand after Ben Affleck caused friendship fallout
Leah Remini revealed where she and Jennifer Lopez stand after their fallout over Ben Affleck. The 'King of Queens' alum shared that she and the pop star started communicating again when they both filed for divorce from their respective spouses in August 2024. 'We'd text each other loving messages of support,' Remini told Us Weekly in an interview published Wednesday. The 'Kevin Can Wait' actress also insisted she was never feuding with Lopez, explaining, 'Sometimes you don't talk to people every day like you used to, but that doesn't mean the love is lost.' She added, 'Friendships ebb and flow. That doesn't mean we're at odds.' Remini, 54, filed for divorce from Angelo Pagán on Aug. 29, 2024, after 21 years of marriage. Remini, who shares a 20-year-old daughter, Sofia Bella, with Pagán, cited 'irreconcilable differences' in her filing. Lopez, meanwhile, pulled the plug on her union with Affleck on Aug. 20, 2024, after two years of marriage. The 'On the Floor' songstress, 55, waited to file the papers until the anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony — despite being separated from the Oscar-winning actor since April 2024. Rumors of Lopez and Remini's falling-out began swirling when the latter was notably absent from her BFF's 2022 wedding to the 'Gone Girl' star. At the time, TMZ reported that Remini was busy helping her daughter prepare for college. However, Page Six later learned that the former Scientologist skipped the ceremony because she didn't agree with Lopez's decision to wed Affleck. An insider told us that Remini warned the 'Let's Get Loud' singer to remember why she called off her first engagement to Affleck back in 2004. Per our source, Remini told Lopez that the actor was 'selfish' and 'not fully committed as a partner.' ' was so mad, she cut off all ties,' we were told. But we learned in May 2024 that the longtime friends had reconciled.
