Generate Key Takeaways It's the first Monday in May — cue the couture chaos. Fashion's biggest night is back, and the 2025 Met Gala promises to deliver another dazzling, drama-filled parade of style. The annual benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute isn't just a fancy fund-raiser, it's a full-blown cultural spectacle, where celebrities compete to outdo each other on the museum's iconic steps in looks that range from breathtaking to bonkers. Zendaya's couture was a highlight at the 2024 Met Gala celebrating 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.' Getty Images A multitude of designs are on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute 2025 exhibition, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' Charles Sykes/Invision/AP This year's theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' draws from Monica L. Miller's 2009 book on 'black dandyism' entitled 'Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.' 'Black dandyism,' as per Vogue, refers to a movement where sharp-dressed black men used fashion as power, protest and personal expression. Last year's May 1 soirée, 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,' saw stars adorning themselves with a dreamy dress code in mind, 'The Garden of Time.' Ensembles boasted floral accents, wood grain embellishments and more. Inspired by a 1962 J.G. Ballard short story, the looks nodded to fleeting beauty, nature and a crystal-studded dystopia. From the red carpet to the after-hours exhibit tour, here's everything you need to know about the Met Gala on May 5. How to watch Teyana Taylor, seen here at the 2024 event, is the host of Vogue's livestream this year along with La La Anthony and Ego Nwodim. Getty Images This year's Met Gala takes place Monday, May 5, and once again, Vogue holds the livestreaming reins. You can catch every glimmering arrival live on YouTube and the outlet's social platforms. Singer and actor Teyana Taylor, actor and producer La La Anthony and actor and 'SNL' comedian Ego Nwodim will host this year's livestream. Expect red carpet commentary and behind-the-scenes moments as stars arrive — and maybe another meme-able moment like Keke Palmer and Megan Thee Stallion's 2021 chat or Jack Harlow and Emma Chamberlain's 2022 flirt fest. Coverage of the Met Gala will also air live on E!; for those without cable, you can tune in with a five-day free trial from DIRECTV. What to know about the theme A livery coat and waistcoat worn by an enslaved servant (left) and a Brooks Brothers coat for an enslaved child are displayed. Charles Sykes/Invision/AP Designs by Jeffrey Banks (left) and Morty Sills are also featured. Charles Sykes/Invision/AP Designs by Dapper Dan and Bstroy await museum visitors. Charles Sykes/Invision/AP The exhibit includes PUMA sneakers and a hat worn by NBA star Walt Frazier. Charles Sykes/Invision/AP This year's theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' is inspired by Monica L. Miller's book 'Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.' The exhibit, curated by Miller and Andrew Bolton, dives into dandyism as self-expression, resistance and celebration — splitting the show into 12 sections like Distinction, Jook and Cool, with works from artists including Tyler Mitchell and Torkwase Dyson. OG dandy icon Beau Brummell shook up stiff 18th-century Britain with razor-sharp tailoring and a cool 'let the clothes talk' energy. But black dandyism took that style and made it a statement. Designs by Jacques Agbobly (left) and Jeffrey Banks for the Met's Costume Institute exhibit. AP For generations, sharply dressed black men have used fashion to challenge stereotypes, command respect and honor their individuality. Born post-emancipation and blazing through the Harlem Renaissance, black dandyism stitched European elegance with cultural pride. As legends like Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston broke barriers in the arts, Harlem's style scene was suiting up and speaking volumes. Now, modern black dandies like Jidenna, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo and André 3000 put a fresh spin on the classic style — using bold suits, fedoras and fearless flair to honor tradition while redefining fashion norms.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Twentieth-Century Photography Fund Ensembles we can anticipate Keep your eyes peeled for a fierce fusion of vintage and modern black style — think old-school dandies rubbing elbows with today's rule-breaking icons. We can likely anticipate crisp tailoring, oversize lapels, figure-flattering zoot suits and statement accessories loaded with meaning. This could be the year many fellas steal the spotlight — though don't be surprised when the ladies show up suited and booted. What happens inside Phones are notoriously not allowed inside, though some rule-breaking celebs usually post a few snaps. REUTERS After working the carpet in theme-drenched couture, guests head inside the Met for an exclusive first look at the Costume Institute's latest exhibit. Once inside, phones are (theoretically) off, and the press is kept out Then, it's cocktail hour — where A-listers mix, mingle and low-key gossip over Champagne — followed by a swanky sit-down dinner with strategically assigned seats. Fashion houses foot the bill for many of the celeb guests, and the night wraps with showstopping surprise performances — last year, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo brought down the house. The co-chairs A$AP Rocky (from left), Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, LeBron James and Pharrell Williams. AP This year's Met Gala is co-chaired by Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and, of course, Vogue queen bee Anna Wintour. LeBron James joins as honorary chair. This year's host committee is stacked — André 3000, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Jordan Casteel, Dapper Dan, Doechii, Ayo Edebiri, Edward Enninful, Jeremy O. Harris, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Rashid Johnson, Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis Lee, Audra McDonald, Janelle Monáe, Jeremy Pope, Angel Reese, Sha'Carri Richardson, Tyla, Usher and Kara Walker — so it's clear the night will be equal parts glitz and game-changer. Notable attendees Rihanna, seen here at the 2023 Met Gala with A$AP Rocky, is rumored to be attending the 2025 bash. Getty Images While the full guest list is tightly guarded, some familiar faces are expected. La La Anthony, Teyana Taylor and Ego Nwodim will co-host the livestream. Rihanna — a Met Gala MVP — is rumored to attend alongside beau A$AP Rocky. Past showstoppers like Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez and Zendaya are likely contenders, as are Met Gala mainstays like Serena Williams, Lady Gaga and the Kardashian-Jenner clan. The history of the Met Gala Anna Wintour, seen here at the 2024 Met Gala wearing Loewe, presides over the event. Getty Images Founded in 1948 by fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert, the Met Gala was originally a $50 dinner to support the Costume Institute. Now, a single ticket will set you back a reported $75,000 — up from last year's $50,000, as reported by the New York Times. Since Wintour took the reins in 1995, the event has morphed into the Oscars of fashion, with every A-lister vying for an invite. Despite the gaudiness, the gala remains a key fund-raiser, generating millions annually to support the Met's exhibitions and acquisitions. So buckle up, fashion fans: The Met steps are about to become the most star-studded runway on earth once again.

Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez ‘book $11,600-a-night suite at 5-star hotel' with Kardashians ahead of wedding of the summer

The Amazon founder, 61, popped the question to the former TV journalist, 55, in May 2023.

"The room is spectacular and even has access to a rooftop terrace overlooking the city. "The wedding is set to be a huge affair and the Kardashians are also said to be staying at the hotel, along with other high-profile guests. "It's a spectacular palazzo that's the most exclusive hotel in Venice. "The Aman hotels are very 'if you know you know' within a certain set - keeping them above a Four Seasons or a Belmond in the world of luxury. "They're both lavish and quiet luxury at the same time." It's unclear whether the hotel suite is for Sanchez for the night before the wedding, or where they will stay after the ceremony. The U.S. Sun has reached out to the couple's rep for comment, along with the Kardashians. Bezos also has a megayacht for guests, and the exact venue of the wedding is yet to be confirmed. Luca Zuin, spokesperson for the mayor of Venice, told media the three-day celebrations will run from June 24 to 26. Katy Perry & Lauren Sanchez unveil new sleek women's Blue Origin spacesuits after vowing to 'put the a** in astronaut' The U.S. Sun can confirm the dates are booked out on the Aman Venice website. The source went on: "The hotel goes back to the 16th century and has been beautifully maintained and restored. "Every detail of the hotel has been thought out from the privately secure entrance [buzz for entry, or arrival via private boat], to the service and staff." "The design is breathtaking leaning into classic Venetian with elements of Aman's southeast Asian roots in the garden. "Once you go up the main staircase you see how opulent it really is - there's almost an air of mystery. "It's truly above and beyond and Jeff and Lauren will have the best day of their lives." The hotel has a restaurant, Avra, along with a luxury spa. George and Amal Clooney had their intimate star-studded wedding at the hotel in September 2014. It was also the venue for Dolce & Gabbana's striking 2021 Alta Moda show which took over the city and saw Jennifer Lopez arrive on a gondola. Local media also claimed guests will also be staying at The Gritti Palace, another palazzo built in the 15th century. Bezos popped the question with a $2.5 million 20-carat ring and the pair hosted a decadent engagement party on their megayacht in Positano, Italy, in August 2023. The groom-to-be, whose estimated net worth is $212 billion, reportedly placed the ring under her pillow before Lauren found and opened the box. She later told Vogue that she "blacked out a bit" during their proposal due to her excitement. 7 The hotel is one of the most luxurious in Venice and is loved by celebrities Credit: Aman Group S.a.r.l. 7 The five-star venue has tight security and a VIP entrance for high-profile guests Credit: Aman Group S.a.r.l. 7 This mega yacht is where Bezos proposed to Sanchez in 2023 Credit: The Mega Agency Sanchez has revealed that she has chosen her dress, believed to be from Oscar de la Renta, and will be styled by Vogue boss Anna Wintour. Celebrities who were sent invites for the wedding include Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Orlando Bloom and his fiancee, Katy Perry. TMZ has also claimed Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, as well as Karlie Kloss and her husband Joshua Kushner, are invited. President Donald Trump has also been invited after Sanchez and Bezos had front-row seats at his inauguration in January. It's truly above and beyond and Jeff and Lauren will have the best day of their lives." Italy-based source told The U.S. Sun The exact venue where the couple will tie the knot is still to be confirmed. The pair began dating in 2019 but avoided being seen together until finalizing their respective divorces. Bezos and his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, made their split official in April 2019, after more than 25 years of marriage. Meanwhile, Sanchez and her ex-husband, Patrick Whitesell, settled their divorce in October 2019, after 13 years together. She has previously said that Bezos inspires her "every day," and makes her a better person. Meanwhile, the entrepreneur has told reporters: "Lauren is the most generous, most big-hearted person that you would ever meet… She never misses a birthday. "The network of people that she gives birthday presents to is gigantic. And that's just a small example." Jeff Bezos – who is he? Here's what you need to know...

Katy Perry Has Responded After People Fell For An AI-Generated Image Of Her At The Met Gala For The Second Year Running

Hot Topic 🔥 Full coverage and conversation on the Met Gala If you cast your mind back to last year's Met Gala, you might remember that pop star Katy Perry went seriously viral for her A+ interpretation of the Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion theme and 'Garden of Time' dress code. Katy Perry. That's it. #MetGala — javi (@jxries) May 6, 2024 X @jxries / Via In fact, everybody agreed at the time that Katy had one of the best looks of the evening, with photos circulating of the star posing on the red carpet in a stunning gown embellished with flowers, butterflies, and an attention-grabbing moss trim. There was just one major problem: Katy didn't actually attend last year's Met Gala, and the viral image was completely AI-generated. However, the thousands of people who fell for the hoax didn't have to feel too bad about it, with Katy revealing at the time that her own mom had believed that the photo was real. Taking to her Instagram account, the star shared a screenshot of her and her mom's text conversation about the situation, where her mom had written: 'Ha Feather! Didn't know you went to the Met 💥 💥 💥 What a gorgeous gown, you look like the Rose Parade, you are your own float lol,' to which Katy replied: 'lol mom the AI got you too, BEWARE!' Fast-forward a year and, somehow, history repeated itself when an AI-generated image of Katy at last night's gala went viral. This time, one widely circulated tweet even included a wild claim that Katy was wearing a brand-new type of fabric. 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. — klaus (@perrysrhythm) May 5, 2025 X @perrysrhythm / Via Sharing the fake photos, 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.' This tweet was seen over 400k times and has thousands of likes, replies, and retweets at the time of writing. Adding extra validation to their made-up claims, the same user than shared a fake sketch of Katy's outfit alongside the caption: 'MUGLER shares the official project of stunning Katy Perry's #MetGala outfit.' Needless to say, once again, thousands of social media users blindly believed the photos, with many praising the star for her look and even reposting the red carpet images with credit to the reputable photo agency Getty Images. And early this morning, Katy debunked the photos on her social media page, sharing the AI images, fake sketch, and a series of funny social media posts about the incident as she wrote: 'couldn't make it to the MET, I'm on The Lifetimes Tour (see you in Houston tomorrow IRL‼️)' Unlike last year, however, Katy went on to confirm that her mom was not fooled a second time around, writing: '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.' Katy even included a screenshot of a text that she received from her mom this year, which was a link to the fake photo alongside the message: 'Crystal just sent this 🤣'
