Biggest Met Gala 2025 moments from Rihanna's pregnancy to Zendaya's engagement ring
This year's Met Gala did not disappoint, delivering high-impact celebrity fashion and viral moments throughout the night. Held last night at New York's iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art (hence the 'Met Gala' name), the exclusive event featured a guest list curated by US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who has overseen the gala's invitations since 1995. Widely regarded as the most prestigious night in fashion, the event pulls in a carefully selected mix of entertainers, designers, athletes and cultural powerhouses. The evening's dress code, "Tailored for You," paid tribute to the pivotal role fashion plays in shaping Black identities, aligning with the theme of the accompanying spring exhibition, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." The exhibition, which opens today, explores the role of tailoring and sartorial excellence in shaping Black identity, with a particular focus on the history and evolution of dandyism. But while it's a night worth catching up on, wading through the photos and breakout news articles is overwhelming, to say the least. Here, we've saved you some time and effort and rounded-up the moments worth knowing about – and check out the best and wildest Met Gala fashion here. Rihanna never fails to command attention at the Met Gala, and 2025 was no exception. The billionaire beauty mogul, 37, turned heads in a custom Marc Jacobs ensemble that cleverly reimagined classic tailoring. She paired a structured grey pinstripe top with a voluminous black pinstripe skirt, crafted from an oversized suit jacket. A dramatic wide-brimmed hat and polka-dot cravat completed the look. Making her entrance even more memorable, Rihanna proudly showcased her baby bump, confirming she's expecting her third child with partner, and Met Gala 2025 co-chair, rapper A$AP Rocky. Zendaya, 28, made an impact in head-to-toe white, donning a sharp three-piece suit custom-designed by Pharrell Williams for Louis Vuitton. The look featured a tailored blazer, matching vest, wide-leg trousers, a tie and a dramatic cream hat. She completed the ensemble with her stunning engagement ring: a 5.02-carat diamond set in 18-karat white gold, designed by Jessica McCormack and gifted by fiancé Tom Holland. Halle Berry, 58, made a show-stopping return to the Met Gala after an eight-year absence, commanding attention in a daring custom look by designer LaQuan Smith. She paired a semi-sheer fishtail gown with a cropped tuxedo jacket and sheer black veil. This marked only the second time Berry has graced the Met Gala red carpet. Her first appearance came in 2017 for the Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between exhibition. This was the pop icon's first appearance at the Met Gala in almost a decade, having last attended in 2018 for the theme Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination. This year, Madonna, 66, graced the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a sharply tailored ivory suit featuring sleek trousers, a fitted blazer, and a crisp white button-down shirt. Arriving arm in arm with designer Haider Ackermann, Madonna lit up a cigar as the duo ascended the blue carpet. One of the Met Gala's most recognisable attendees was notably absent this year. Sarah Jessica Parker, a long-time favourite of both fans and fashion critics, did not attend the 2025 event. The actor explained her absence during an interview with Entertainment Tonight on May 2. She said: 'I have to work. But there's going to be so much to see and I look forward to seeing what everybody does, and how they interpret the theme and the homework they did for the assignment.' The Substance star, 62, brought her fashion A-game Monday night, wowing onlookers with a sculptural outfit designed by Thom Browne that featured more than 1 million beads. The outfit – which is designed to look like a necktie – reportedly took 7,600 hours to complete. The dress featured exaggerated shoulders, structured corsetry, and cascading panels hand-embroidered with metallic thread. It was one of the most elaborate garments of the night. Nicole Kidman, 57, made a bold entrance at this year's Met Gala, unveiling a striking new hairdo. The Australian actor stunned on the blue carpet wearing a custom black Balenciaga gown. While the couture dress was undoubtedly elegant, it was her unexpected hair transformation that truly stole the spotlight. Kidman shocked onlookers by debuting a dramatically short haircut that may well be a wig but hasn't been confirmed either way. In one of the most unconventional entrances of the night, rapper and singer Doechii, 26, made a memorable appearance at the 2025 Met Gala by being wheeled out in a box. While she hasn't confirmed that it was her inside, according to The Cut, paparazzi were screaming her name when the box was wheeled out. Once she emerged, Doechii showcased a head-to-toe look from Louis Vuitton. She donned a monogram-printed logo blazer, vest, tailored shorts and bag and stamped the Louis Vuitton logo on her face. A mysterious box is on its way to the Met Gala. — Film Updates (@FilmUpdates) May 5, 2025 Dua Lipa, 29, and her boyfriend, 35-year-old actor Callum Turner, made their Met Gala debut as a couple, turning heads on the blue carpet. The duo wore coordinating black Chanel looks, with Lipa donning a flapper-esque dress embellished with crystals and Turner wearing a double-breasted suit. Eagle-eyed fans couldn't help but notice the stunning engagement ring on Lipa's finger. While the couple hasn't officially confirmed the engagement, the ring left no doubt that there had been a development in their relationship. Diana Ross, 81, last made an appearance at the Met Gala in 2003 and now she's made an unforgettable return to the event. The singer arrived in an 18-foot-long train that was designed by Ugo Mozie and featured crystals and feathers. For a personal touch, the train was embroidered with the names of her children – Rhonda, Tracee, Chudney, Ross, and Evan – and her grandchildren, Raif, Callaway, Everlee, Leif, Indigo, Jagger, Bronx and Ziggy. In one of the night's most unexpected moments of the night, Kamala Harris, 60, made a discreet appearance at the 2025 Met Gala. This is one of her first major public appearances since losing the 2024 election. The former Vice President skipped the blue carpet but was seen inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing a custom Off-White dress, which was designed by the brand's creative director IB Kamara. Jon Batiste serenades Serena Williams on the sax at the #MetGala | Variety On the Carpet — Variety (@Variety) May 5, 2025 Grammy-winning artist Jon Batiste, 38, surprised onlookers by playing the saxophone on the blue carpet. He took it a step further when he serenaded tennis legend Serena Williams, 43, during the event. "That got me in the spirit," Williams said, once he was finished performing for her. While wife Hailey Bieber, 28, walked the carpet solo in a sleek Saint Laurent mini blazer dress, Justin Bieber was noticeably absent from the 2025 Met Gala. The pop star, 31, has not attended the Met Gala since 2021, often preferring privacy and low-profile appearances in recent years. Fresh off her acting debut in season three of HBO's The White Lotus, K-pop superstar Lisa, 28, drew attention with her intricate Louis Vuitton ensemble – a lace bodysuit featuring embroidered portraits by American artist Henry Taylor. One of the images, placed on the undergarment portion of the outfit, had a striking resemblance to civil rights icon Rosa Parks. Louis Vuitton later clarified that the portraits represented individuals meaningful to Taylor, though no specific identities were officially confirmed.

Every Priyanka Chopra Jonas Met Gala look as she gears up for her fifth appearance TOMORROW
Her fifth appearance on the hallowed Met steps loading, what better time then, to revisit each of Priyanka Chopra's four Met Gala looks? Wrapped in Ralph Lauren, Dior and Valentino, here's every time desi girl made it to the Met. It's legacy of memes precedes the never ending trail of the silhouette, but very few can make an all-beige, no-frills ensemble like Priyanka's Ralph Lauren trench coat gown from the 2017 Met Gala actually work on a red carpet stretch carrying blinding amounts of dazzle and daze. A gravity-defying bun, metallic drop earrings and black ankle boots were the final details of PC's big Met debut. It's easy to not see the appeal of this look, but it made for quite a smart, out-of-the-box take on the theme of the year, 'Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between'. Opting for Ralph Lauren again, for her second Met appearance the following year but this time, with the razzle and dazzle. After all, the theme, 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination', demanded it. Dressed in full-length velvet wine with a softly pleated trail, the jewel-encrusted hood and the bold red lip, was a complete Catholic serve at the red carpet. Simple, sophisticated and alluring as ever. Priyanka left no stone unturned to embrace the 'Camp: Notes on Fashion' theme for the 2019 Met Gala, this time switching things up with Dior. The exaggerated perm, a hollow metallic crown, a matching paneled corset, studded tights, and an eccentric-hued ostrich feather-tailed cape wrapping all over her — she really committed to easily one of the Met's most whimsical themes in recent years. For her fourth lap of the Met, Priyanka opted for Valentino. A perfect pick, considering the theme honoured the late visionary Karl Lagerfeld, with the theme 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty'. The primary silhouette was straightforward — a black evening gown cinched at the waist with a bow, the symmetry trailing into a thigh-high slit. The black faille cape with large-form ruffles and white bows at the elbows, stood perfectly complimented by the white leather gloves, the perfect ode to Karl. In the next few hours, Priyanka will be arriving at the Met Gala, draped in Balmain and Bulgari — we can barely wait to see!

Rihanna Took A Dig At Deepika Padukone's MET Gala Look? Here's What Happened
Last Updated: Deepika Padukone's white satin gown for the 2017 MET Gala didn't impress many. Deepika Padukone made her MET Gala debut in 2017 with a long, white Tommy Hilfiger satin gown. Although Deepika looked beautiful, her look for criticised for being 'too safe' for the fashion soiree. In the same year, Rihanna 'liked' a post on Instagram that took a dig at a dress similar to the one worn by Deepika. Several social media users were confused about whether the musical sensation was criticising the actress. Deepika Padukone wore an exquisite Tommy Hilfiger ensemble to the 2017 Met Gala. The gown was made of white satin with a plunging neckline, thigh-high slit and long train. She completed her ensemble with diamond-studded flowers in her hair and long drop earrings. Her makeup was kept simple, emphasising her innate beauty with a nude lip and delicate eye makeup. However, for the 'Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between' theme, Deepika's look was considered 'safe' by many. Later, Rihanna 'liked' a post on Instagram that said, 'What the Met Gala theme was vs how everybody showed up." On one side, the post featured extravagant dresses and on the other, a white satin gown. Back then, some saw Rihanna's reaction as a dig at Deepika, while others argued that the singer must not know the actress. The image has resurfaced on Reddit and has gone viral again. One person wrote, 'This shade applies to way too many people who put zero effort. I don't think it's specific to Deepika here." Another added, 'Rightfully so, cause what was this? Her airport looks are more interesting than this." One person wrote, 'Pfffft, Rihanna prolly doesn't know who Deepika is😭." Another comment read, 'But it's true she didn't follow the theme." Deepika returned to the Gala in 2018 with a red Prabal Gurung gown. However, it was her pink Zac Posen look in 2019 that caught everyone's attention. Immersed in the aura of a life-sized Barbie doll, Deepika's 2019 Met Gala presentation was her most iconic to date. She wore a customised bubblegum pink strapless gown. The outfit featured a form-fitting neckline that drew attention to her décolletage and a multi-tiered, billowy skirt with subtle embroidery. First Published:

Rihanna's subtle dig at Deepika Padukone's 2017 MET Gala look sparks controversy
Deepika Padukone made her highly anticipated debut at the MET Gala in 2017, donning a sophisticated white satin gown by Tommy Hilfiger. The dress featured a plunging neckline, a thigh-high slit, and a long train, which she complemented with diamond-studded flowers in her hair and elegant drop earrings. While Deepika Padukone looked radiant, her choice was met with mixed reviews, with many labeling it as too "safe" for such a high-fashion event. Rihanna's reaction: Did she critique Deepika's 'Safe' MET Gala choice? Although her look was stunning, the fashion world had high expectations for the "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between" theme, and some felt Deepika Padukone's ensemble didn't quite fit the theme's avant-garde spirit. Adding fuel to the fire, Rihanna, in the same year, 'liked' an Instagram post that compared the extravagant dresses of the Gala with Deepika Padukone's white satin gown. The post humorously pointed out the lack of theme alignment, which led to speculation that Rihanna's reaction could be a subtle critique of Deepika Padukone's outfit.

Met Gala hits and misses from the last decade, from Rihanna to Blake Lively
The Met Gala. These three words are enough to create a frenzy of anticipation for an event that happens every year on the first Monday of May and has become one of fashion's biggest, most over-the-top spectacles. Each year, the evening has a theme echoing the accompanying exhibition that the event serves as the opener for. And each year, stars arrive on the red carpet in looks that have taken weeks to come together and showcase the wearer's fashion savvy and understanding of themes that are deliberately oblique. However, for every look that draws applause, there is another that sparks an awkward silence for being wildly off topic. Here, we take a look at who is on each list. Heading this list is Rihanna, one of the undisputed stars of Met Gala red carpet dressing. Be it in 2018, dressed as the pope in custom Maison Margiela for Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, or in a sublime marigold gown by Gui Pei for 2015's China: Through the Looking Glass event, or as one of the few who understood the REI Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between theme of 2017, the singer is able to embrace any theme and make it her own. With her partner A$AP Rocky as co-chair for 2025, there is great excitement about what Rihanna will be wearing. Zendaya is another fixture on this list, and of the many looks she has rocked on the red carpet, the one that changed everything was in 2018, when she arrived dressed as Joan of Arc. Clad in Versace chain mail for the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination Met Gala, this was the moment that established Zendaya as a fashion force to be reckoned with. In 2022 Versace scored another goal, dressing Blake Lively in a patterned gown that flipped inside out, to reveal something entirely different underneath. With the theme of In America: An Anthology of Fashion, Lively was transformed into the ver de gris of the Statue of Liberty. That same year, Spanish singer Rosalia nailed the theme in Givenchy. Seemingly spun from sheer lace and diaphanous silk, the bias cut gown spilt off her shoulders, and made her look like one of the heiresses from a portrait by American artist John Singer Sargent. Also in Givenchy – but haute couture this time – was Kendall Jenner in 2021 in a look that was an update of something worn by Audrey Hepburn in the 1964 film My Fair Lady. Givenchy famously dressed Hepburn for years. For the Met Gala however, the now sheer nude dress and gloves were scattered with crystals for an effect that was elegant, fragile and utterly beautiful. Always a fan of a big gown, Ariana Grande stepped out in Vera Wang, in 2018. A closer look at the strapless gown revealed it was covered in images from the Sistine Chapel, which was a clever interpretation of the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination theme. Claire Danes also embraced a full gown in 2016. For the Manus × Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology theme, she donned a gown by Zac Posen that was made with fibre optics and organza meaning that, like something from a fairy tale, it glowed in the dark. For 2024's Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, the model Amelia Gray Hamlin arrived in a mustard puffball dress that contained a plastic terrarium filled with purple roses and foliage. Doja Cat arrived at 2023's Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty with facial prosthetics that made her look like his cat, Choupette, complete with the ears on her hooded, crystal-studded Oscar de la Renta gown. Jared Leto also dressed as a giant cat that year, and then, as something of a repeat offender, turned up to the 2019 event Camp: Notes on Fashion in a red satin dress slung with crystals and a model of his own head. In 2021, the German singer-songwriter Kim Petras had a 'what was she thinking' moment when she chose a Collina Strada look, resplendent with a horse head on the bodice for In America: A Lexicon of Fashion. In 2019, meanwhile, US YouTuber Liza Koshy wore a bizarrely shaped pink dress by Balmain, covered in huge stitching for the Camp: Notes on Fashion evening. While clearly not Balmain's best moment, Koshy treated it with good humour, calling it her 'pink poptart dream boat' and taking to social media to declare to her followers: 'If you recreate this look using whatever you have at home, I will repost you.' In 2019 actor Michael Urie wore a half tuxedo/half dress by Christian Siriano, that was – frankly - hideous. Theatre actress J Harrison Ghee turned up at the 2024 Sleeping Beauty: Reawakening Fashion Met Gala dressed as a giant pink and green insect, with gold antenna, while Kylie Jenner went the lazy route and wore a bridal gown, T-shirt and backward baseball cap for In America: An Anthology of Fashion in 2022. Katy Perry, meanwhile, is a regular on worst Met Gala looks lists. Her willingness to not take herself serious is commendable, and she clearly has a good sense of humour, but her choices have been questionable to put it mildly. She has, in no particular order, dressed as a hamburger, a chandelier and an angel with five foot wide gold, feathered wings.
