Met Gala 2025: Billie Eilish Hits Back At AI Photos
As you may recall, this year's Met Gala took place last week, and a whole bunch of A-listers were in attendance to show off their interpretation of the 'Tailored for You' dress code, in association with the Met's Superfine: Tailoring Black Style theme. And, just like clockwork, the amateur fashion police of social media were on hand to critique each and every celeb's look, with many being publicly chastised for their underwhelming outfits or lack of commitment to the theme. Sometimes even both. One of the celebrities to feel the wrath of these critics was Billie Eilish, who was dragged when photos of her on the red carpet emerged online. There's just one problem… Billie didn't actually attend this year's Met Gala, and the pictures are completely fake. Meanwhile, a particularly viral TikTok included an image of Billie wearing a black corset and feather-trimmed miniskirt amid a compilation of real photos of celebrities who actually attended the gala: At the time of writing, this video has been seen more than 3.7 million times and has over 85k likes. But whichever look Billie was feeling the backlash from, she understandably had enough of the #FakeNews, and took to her Instagram story to set the record straight on Tuesday. 'Seeing people talk about what I wore to this year's Met Gala being trash… I wasn't there!' Billie began before bursting into laughter. 'That's AI! I had a show in Europe that night! Let me be, I wasn't even there!' And if this sounds familiar, then you may recall that Katy Perry recently spoke out about AI photos of her at the Met Gala circulating online for the second year running. Last year, the singer revealed that her own mom was among the thousands fooled by a fake picture of her wearing a stunning gown embellished with flowers, butterflies, and an attention-grabbing moss trim at the year, the trolls went one step further when they claimed that Katy not only attended the Met, but was wearing a brand new type of fabric for her look. Sharing the AI-generated images, a self-proclaimed 'parody account' on X wrote: 'Katy Perry's dress at the #MetGala2025 features never-before-seen, custom-made fabric by Mugler. 'Lustratex®, a cutting-edge fusion of liquid vinyl and adaptive smart polymers, was innovated in secret textile labs across Paris & Seoul', VOGUE reports.'The tweet was seen over 400k times before Katy shut it down by writing on her Instagram page: 'couldn't make it to the MET, I'm on The Lifetimes Tour (see you in Houston tomorrow IRL‼️)'Thankfully, Katy confirmed that her mom was not fooled the second time around, adding: 'P.s. this year I was actually with my mom so she's safe from the bots but I'm praying for the rest of y'all.' Is it just me, or is AI getting out of control? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

The Dandiest Looks at the 2025 Met Gala—See Who Understood the Assignment (Live Updates)
I usually dread Mondays—but the first Monday in May is the exception. That's when the Met Gala takes over New York City, transforming the Met steps into a runway for fashion's biggest night. This year's theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' and its dress code, 'Tailored for You,' invited bold interpretations rooted in precision and flair. Celebrities reimagined power dressing with sharp tailoring, dramatic silhouettes, statement accessories, and unforgettable beauty moments—think towering hair, graphic eye makeup, and main-character manicures.

Co-chairs Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Pharrell Williams delivered high-fashion drama with textured fabrics, striking patterns, and structures that commanded attention. They captured the spirit of the exhibit—which shares the same name as the theme—'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' The installation explores the evolution of Black fashion from the 18th century to today, centering the concept of dandyism: a style rooted in elegance, individuality, and rebellion. Following the abolition of slavery, dandyism became a powerful tool for Black expression and self-definition within high society. The Met's exhibition brings this history to life through garments, paintings, photographs, literature, and film.

Cardi B Has Proven Everyone's Point After Pharrell Williams Sparked Backlash For Telling Sabrina Carpenter She Can't Wear Pants To The Met Gala Because She Is Short
The biggest night in fashion, aka the Met Gala, took place on Monday night, with A-listers out in their droves for the 'Tailored for You' dress code in association with the Met's Superfine: Tailoring Black Style theme. Among them was singer Sabrina Carpenter, who wore a burgundy Louis Vuitton bodysuit, a structured jacket with suit tails, and incredibly high heels while completely bare-legged. The star was styled by Pharrell Williams for the event, and said on the blue carpet that he was the one who told her to go pants-less. Referencing her height, which is just five feet barefoot, Sabrina told Vogue's YouTube host La La Anthony: 'He was like: 'You're quite short, so no pants for you.' So here we are.' However, the amateur fashion police who were watching the Met carpet unfold from the comfort of their homes found Pharrell's comments to Sabrina a bit of a cop-out. Related: 18 Times Celebs Spent An Embarrassing Amount Of Money On Something That Wound Up Totally Useless It was quickly pointed out that he could have actually used this year's theme to his advantage, as clever tailoring can easily add inches to even the shortest of people. Some went so far as to say that Pharrell had missed the opportunity to capitalize on the theme by making a celebrity who is renowned for her petite stature appear taller. One popular tweet read: 'If Pharrell did tell Sabrina she's too short for a pants look, that's him saying they don't know how to tailor down at LV HQ, lol.' 'That's what I thought too when she said it like ummmm missed opportunity to show off tailoring skills!' somebody else replied. Another wrote: 'As a (very) short woman, like sabrina, I nearly got offended by his comment. It's limiting and degrading for short women. And it's dumb and lazy cause wearing pants has nothing to do with height and everything to do with tailoring, fitting and style.' So, when Cardi B's Met Gala outfit emerged online, it only proved the online critics' point, with many left stunned by how elongated Cardi's body looked in her tailored Burberry green velvet suit — complete with pants. In case you didn't know, Cardi is also famed for how petite she is, with the star just 5 feet and 3 inches tall — something that people were quick to point out in relation to Sabrina's look. Sharing Cardi's Met photos on X, a popular tweet reads: 'And this is the art of great tailoring, they made her legs look so long. You wouldn't think this babe is 5'3.' 'This is a great example for why Pharrell's comments about Sabrina's height were so uncalled for,' another user wrote in response, somebody else echoed: 'Which makes Pharrell's idea to go pantless with Sabrina even MORE of a miss.' 'This is why it was crazy that pharell said sabrina couldn't wear pants because she's too short. Pants can make you look tall!!' another argued. Related: 28 Celebs Who Never Seem To Get Canceled Despite Some Pretty Awful Behavior And Sabrina herself responded to the discourse surrounding her outfit on her own X account on Wednesday night — although she did not acknowledge the role that Pharrell had played in her look. It all started when an X user mocked up what Sabrina could have worn to better suit her body type, turning the burgundy bodysuit into pants and adding a hat. In a lengthy thread, the user wrote: 'I would never suggest this color or the 'ringmaster' costume to begin with, but it's a perfect example of how dressing against your body type can go horribly wrong. In her interview, she said the designer suggested she go pantless because she's already petite. 'But actually, it's quite the opposite. The contrast between the dark brown and her bare legs and the dark shoes again is chopping off her already tiny body at 3 different sections. Breaking down each element in detail: 1. The stuffy collar is making her neck look constricted and short. 2. The sharp shoulders also contribute to the illusion of added height. '3. Not to mention, the sleeves look very stuffy, and the tailoring is completely off, so removing the sleeves shifts focus back to her waist. 4. The oversized buttons on either end are adding the illusion of wider waist. 5. Adding vertical lines is the main key to the illusion of taller height. 6. Finally, a top hat with big feathers could've easily added more drama and the much needed 6-8 inches to her perceived height.' Responding to the detailed six-point feedback, Sabrina simply quote-tweeted the user's first tweet and wrote: 'damn i fucked up..'

Rihanna & Her Baby Bump Close Out the 2025 Met Gala Red Carpet
Hours after Rihanna's surprise pregnancy reveal ahead of the 2025 Met Gala, the pop superstar made her way to the red carpet to show off her impeccable style and her new baby bump. The Met Gala legend perfectly embodied the night's 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' theme, wearing a menswear-inspired look that included a slouchy, wide-brimmed black hat; a gray corset over a white shirt collar topped by a black bolero jacket and burgundy polka-dot tie; and a pinstriped, button-down floor-length skirt. The skirt appeared to be created with an ultra-long men's blazer, with its sleeves tied at her waist.

A$AP Rocky, with whom Rihanna is expecting her third child, was a co-chair of this year's Met Gala, alongside Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton, while LeBron James served as honorary chair. (James announced on X earlier Monday he had to cancel his appearance due to a knee injury he sustained at the end of the NBA season.) The 2025 Met Gala theme is 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' which also inspired the Met Costume Institute's spring 2025 exhibition of the same name and explores the history of Black dandyism. Rihanna and Rocky share two sons together, RZA Athelston Mayers, who turns 3 years old this month, and 1-year-old Riot Rose Mayers.
