What to expect from the 2025 Met Gala
Williams serves ace with giant sleeping bag dress
Somehow, in a move perhaps only she could pull off, Serena Williams has served a fashion ace in a stunning gown featuring a giant shiny, unfolded sleeping-bag-like train.
Charli XCX ditches Brat green for black sheer
Global pop star Charli XCX is finally experiencing the level of fame she has always deserved.
After her album Brat took the world by storm in 2024, the singer has catapulted to new heights.
Fresh from performances at Coachella, Charli wore a daring sheer ensemble in an outfit that perfectly fits her Partygirl persona.
Lisa delivers style with simple sheer look
Some stars reach a level of fame that allows them to be known by just one name.
Think, Madonna, Kylie and Cher.
That level of stardom is real with Lisa.
Some love her from The White Lotus, more love her for Black Pink.
I love her for this stunning, simple and effortless look.
Thigh-high Timberlands strut the Met Gala steps
Leave The World Behind Star Myha’la Herrold arrived in a unique, structured look with over-exaggerated shoulders.
The actress paired the look with thigh-high tan lace-up Timberlands that teamed perfectly with the grey garment.
Madonna dons pants and a big cigar
Singer Madonna made a return to the Met Gala this year.
Wearing a striking white suit, the Like A Prayer singer held a cigar as she posed for photos along the staircase.
Jenner arrives dateless in monochrome perfection
Kylie Jenner arrived at the 2025 Met Gala without boyfriend Timothee Chalamet.
Although usually not one to miss a red carpet moment, Chalamet missed this year’s event.
Jenner dished up the perfection we have learnt to expect from her Met Gala moments.
Schafer serves up simple elegance
Actress, model and trans icon Hunter Schafer has worn an elegant pant, jacket combo showing off a crisp white double breasted suit jacket.
Luhrmann struts with eccentric style
Film director Baz Luhrmann has stepped out at the Met Gala wearing white pants, a striped blazer and what I will describe as a jazzy tie.
Rihanna, Queen of the Met Gala arrives with major news
Singer and billionaire make-up industry mogul Rihanna has arrived on the steps of the Met Gala with her new baby bump, as it is confirmed she is expecting her third child with singer A$AP Rocky.
Wearing a structured Marc Jacobs outfit, the Queen of the Met Gala made yet another iconic entrance to the event.
Keke Palmer channels Dorothy Dandridge
The actor said she was inspired by Dandridge, the first black woman to be nominated for an Oscar in best actress.
“I pretty much just wanted to inhabit the tailoring but also the history of Black culture, fashion as a tool to enter spaces that often we’re not allowed.
“So, that’s why I wanted to take the inspiration of Dorothy Dandridge. All the doors that she opened for us with fashion and beauty.”
Palmer is wearing Vera Wang.
