The Met Gala 2025 is officially here, and much like everyone, we're bracing ourselves for a slew of noteworthy looks.
Ahead of the big 'first Monday of May', A-listers from around the globe have been gearing up for the highly exclusive pre-Met Gala get-togethers in New York City (NYC).
Set to take place at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art, celebrities have been popping up all over NYC, making stylish appearances as they prep for the biggest night in fashion.
From Riyadh-based Georgina Rodriguez, who just touched down in the Big Apple (albeit unconfirmed; we're keeping our fingers crossed), Dutch-Moroccan and Egyptian supermodel Imaan Hamman to Rihanna making a grand return with her partner A$AP Rocky, who is this year's Co-chair alongside Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and Louis Vuitton's creative director, Pharrell William. It's a sure fact that the Met Gala 2025 will be another round of iconic fashion.

Like in previous years, the theme of the Met Gala coincides with the topic of the Costume Institute's spring exhibition. In 2025, the Met Gala and the exhibition will be themed 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style'.
As per the Metropolitan Museum of Art's official showcase announcement, the display will 'present a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy, from the figure's emergence in Enlightenment Europe during the 18th century to today's incarnations in cities around the world.'
Within the gallery, explorations into the 'importance of sartorial style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora' will unfold through significant archival garments, artworks, film excerpts and more.
The theme itself draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller's 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. Miller, who is currently Chair and Professor of Africana Studies at Columbia University's Barnard College, will serve as guest curator in the first dedicated menswear exhibition in twenty years. (The last time men's fashion was solely presented was in 2003's 'Braveheart: Men in Skirts'.)

Life, Styled: Dubai-Based Influencer Amelia Waney Takes GRAZIA Through 7 Chic Outfit Pairings
Media: @ameliawaneyy Instagram Life, Styled , GRAZIA's newest series where fashion and everyday style collide, returns yet with another creator known for her unapologetic sense of style. For the second edition of this new series, we tapped into the effortlessly stylish mind of Dubai-based fashion influencer, Amelia Waney, who took GRAZIA inside her chic wardrobe to show seven standout looks for seven days. Whether you're looking for edgy casual 'fits, a classic denim look, or a timeless ensemble, Amelia brings you all the outfit inspiration you need to elevate your everyday. Photo: @ameliawaneyy Instagram No one can deny the power of a flattering top and the perfect pair of ankle-length denim jeans. Versatile style that surely goes above and beyond, Amelia makes a strong case for casual chic, opting to wear a thin strapped babydoll top in black, high-waisted blue washed jeans, and the current cult-favourite accessory of the season, a pair of black mesh ballet flats. Topping it all off with a Chanel wallet which she reimagined into a shoulder bag. Stylish , as said. Media: @ameliawaneyy Instagram When it comes to colour pairing, you best believe Amelia will always deliver a masterclass. Even in its utmost simplicity, she elevated the white monochrome look with a white high-necked tank top and a pair of soft flowy cotton trousers. With a dash of a mocha mouse Bottega Veneta oversized leather pouch, undoubtedly matching the colour of the year, she further finished with a touch of brown tinted sunnies and a Louis Vuitton LV Sneakerina. Photo: @ameliawaneyy Instagram Perfecting the art of summer dressing, this time, Amelia opted to transform her silky floral-printed scarf into the summer's favourite styling hack; a bandeau top. She added contrast to her brown and yellow-toned top with sleek satin wide-leg trousers in black and sandals, which she paired ever-so chicly with a Hermès black Birkin in Epsom leather. Photo: @ameliawaneyy Instagram Set for day and night dressing, Amelia wore an asymmetrical design with a fluid fabric that drapes elegantly over her shoulder. Complementing her feminine silhouette, she paired it with a matching flowy skirt set by Nora The Label, accessorised with shimmering gold heels which featured a metal pointed-toe cap, rounding off with a long black Andiamo clutch in Intercciato leather. Photo: @ameliawaneyy Instagram Keeping things simple yet surely elevated, the influencer wore a maxi beige dress by Staud. Showcasing an off-shoulder style, the dress featured a ribbed-knit waist design that flowed down for some flattering definition. Adding a pop of colour, she accessorised with a red mini Bottega Veneta Jodie bag and a set of dainty gold jewellery. Photo: @ameliawaneyy Instagram Arguably the most laid-back ensemble of the bunch, Amelia embraced the simplicity and versatility of a short-sleeved white shirt. She balanced the uber-relaxed look to make a head-turning statement with a Zimmermann maxi skirt. Alluring with its blue-toned and the fashion house's classic prints at the forefront on lightweight fabric, she accessorised with a dainty beaded pearl clutch bag. Photo: @ameliawaneyy Instagram Making a case with another monochrome look, the influencer paired her crystal-embellished corset by Odd Muse, with sleek high-waisted flared trousers. With an undeniable alluring accessory, she perfectly matched the flower crystals with a silver metallic THEMOIRÉ x Ounass leather clutch. topics: Life Styled, Amelia Waney, FASHION, Dubai, UAE, 2025 Fashion, STYLE, DUBAI BASED INFLUENCERS, DUBAI INFLUENCERS, INFLUENCER, Influencer Approved

Hailey Bieber's Billion-Dollar Beauty Deal — & What It Means for Her Marriage
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 05: Hailey Bieber attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo byfor The Met Museum/Vogue) Hailey Bieber has officially entered mogul territory. Last week, the 28-year-old model and entrepreneur announced the sale of her skincare brand, Rhode, to e.l.f. Beauty in a landmark $1 billion deal. It's a move that cements her as one of the most successful celebrity founders of her generation — and places her firmly among beauty industry powerhouses like Kylie Jenner and Rihanna. Since its launch in 2022, Rhode has built a cult-like following thanks to its minimalist aesthetic, clean formulas, and Bieber's loyal fan base. According to AP News , the brand generated $212 million in net sales in the fiscal year ending March 31 — an impressive feat in just under three years. The acquisition includes $600 million in cash, $200 million in e.l.f. stock, and an additional $200 million in performance-based earnouts over the next three years, as reported by India Times . Bieber has announced she will remain deeply involved in the brand as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation, and will also serve as a Strategic Advisor to e.l.f., ensuring her creative vision continues to shape the Rhode identity. But while the business world is celebrating, the success may be sparking tension in her personal life. Success, Jealousy, and Spotlight Struggles NEW YORK, NY – FEBRUARY 06: Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber are seen on February 06, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by XNY/Star Max/GC Images) *** Local Caption *** Justin Bieber; Hailey Bieber According to reporting from The Sun , sources close to the couple say Justin Bieber has been struggling emotionally following the deal. Allegedly, he's feeling 'jealous' and 'insecure' about being eclipsed by his wife's rising star. While Hailey has built Rhode from the ground up, Justin has been relatively quiet on the professional front in recent months, further intensifying the imbalance. This shift in power dynamics has reportedly led to emotional friction behind the scenes. And with no prenup in place — something Page Six notes the couple did not arrange prior to their 2018 courthouse wedding — Hailey's billion-dollar payout could legally be considered community property under California law. That means if the two were to divorce, Justin could be entitled to half of her earnings made during the marriage, including from the Rhode sale. What's Next for Hailey Bieber NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 05: Hailey Bieber attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo byfor The Met Museum/Vogue) Despite the speculation, Hailey seems focused on her next chapter. The Sun reports that she's already mapping out future ventures, including investments in fashion and real estate. She also plans to funnel some of her earnings into philanthropic causes, using her growing influence to make an impact beyond beauty. What makes this story so compelling isn't just the money or the media attention — it's what it represents. Hailey Bieber's meteoric rise underscores the evolving role of women in celebrity partnerships and the societal discomfort that still exists when a woman becomes the higher earner. It also speaks to a broader shift happening in the industry: female celebrities are no longer content to just be brand ambassadors or muses. They're founders, CEOs, and now, billion-dollar dealmakers. A Defining Moment—Personally and Professionally NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 05: Hailey Bieber leave The Carlyle Hotel before the 2025 Met Gala: 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Adrian Edwards/GC Images) Whether or not the personal rumors prove true, one thing is clear: Hailey Bieber is no longer just Mrs. Bieber — she's a business icon in her own right. As she continues to build her empire, she's also navigating the complexities that come with fame, fortune, and a high-profile marriage. And if Rhode's success is any indication, this is only the beginning.

(Photo by Swan Gallet/WWD via Getty Images) Saoirse Ronan has confirmed she is pregnant! The four-time Oscar nominee is expecting her first child with husband Jack Lowden, as confirmed by People magazine on Sunday, June 1. Rumours of the Little Women star's pregnancy began to quietly swirl following her recent appearance at Louis Vuitton's Cruise 2026 show in Avignon, France, where the Irish actress, an ambassador for the house, wore a minimalist slip dress with a lace trim and an empire waist that, with effortless elegance, revealed the faintest suggestion of a baby bump.

In 2018, they met when starring opposite one another in Mary Queen of Scots . Though it's unclear when they officially began dating, after years of quietly building a life together, the couple reportedly wed in a private ceremony in Scotland in July 2024—unsurprising for two talents known for keeping their personal lives out of the spotlight. During the press tour for the film, Lowden gushed about his future wife. 'The woman is a force of nature on and off screen, and utterly fearless and a brilliant leader as well,' he said during an AOL panel. 'For being 24 years old, it's just constantly amazing to me, not just her work, but how she is on a set is amazing.' On the work front, their creative partnership has continued to flourish as well. Most recently, Ronan, 31, starred in The Outrun , a visceral portrait of addiction and recovery set in the Shetland Islands, adapted from Amy Liptrot's memoir. Lowden, 35, served as co-producer on the project. 'Through my partner in crime, life, and love,' Ronan told W magazine , about how she came about the role. '[Jack] handed me the book and said, 'This is the next role that you have to play.'' Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden attend the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2025 at The Royal Festival Hall on February 16, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by)
