Here Are the Biggest Headlines From Last Night’s Met Gala

Let’s throw it back to last night’s festivities. ICYMI the annual Met Gala took place last night and transformed the Metropolitan Museum of Art into an art installation as celebrities ascended the red carpet (well, in this case, blue dotted with florals) staircase in designer labels and statement pieces to fit this year’s Met Gala theme: Black dandyism. Whether you loved the looks or considered the night a fashion flop, here are the biggest moments and headlines from fashion’s biggest night. 

Rihanna announces third pregnancy

Queen of reveal, Rihanna strikes again! Following Beyoncé’s iconic 2011 MTV Awards baby bump debut and Rihanna’s own Super Bowl 2023 Halftime Show pregnancy announcement, the superstar has delivered yet another surprise. 

At the 2025 Met Gala, Rihanna confirmed she’s expecting baby number three with longtime partner A$AP Rocky. Earlier in the day, she was photographed in New York City wearing a sheer, two-piece set that hinted at her growing belly. Soon after, she was on the Met steps proudly showing off her baby bump in a Marc Jacobs three-piece suit. 

Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter attend separately

Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter attended the Met Gala solo—just one year after making their red carpet debut at the same event. There was an awkward moment when they crossed paths that had everyone talking. Carpenter rocked a custom Louis Vuitton bodysuit, and Keoghan wore a Valentino black suit. The pair reportedly split several months ago due to “busy schedules.” 

Aimee Lou Wood avoids White Lotus costar Walton Goggins

Aimee Lou Wood was hanging out with Patrick Schwarzenegger while strategically avoiding Walton Goggins at last night’s Met Gala. The two have made headlines recently with their rumored feud. The question is what’s really going on? Perhaps a cast member dispute or a secret lovers’ quarrel? We’re waiting for someone to spill what really happened between these two—and we know a few podcasts that would love to break the news.  

Kamala Harris makes Met Gala debut

One Met Gala guest many people did not expect to see was Kamala Harris, who has remained lowkey since last fall’s election. The former vice president donned a black and white dress from Off-White by creative director IB Kamara with a long scarf and a sweeping statement sleeve. In a statement to Vogue, she explained how art and politics relate: “Art has the power to shape the conversation about where we are today and where we need to go.”

The internet quickly divided after the official X account for The Democrats posted a photo of Harris with the caption, “Kamala Harris stuns at the Met Gala.” Many X users shamed Harris for attending the event while Israel’s war on Gaza is ongoing. Others criticized her attendance as a wasteful act of elitism during a time when the Democratic party has a record-low approval rating.

Kylie Jenner attends solo while Timothée Chalamet watches the Knicks

The Kardashian-Jenner family practically owns Met Gala real estate at this point. They love a good party and getting glammed up. Who doesn’t? While everyone expected the Academy Award nominated actor, Timothée Chalamet, to accompany his girlfriend, he opted for sweats and a hoodie instead. He took to instagram to share his chill night in, watching the Knicks defeat the Boston Celtics 108-105 in the second round of the NBA playoffs. Don’t worry about Jenner though. She seemed unbothered in her black corseted bodice dress—a sexy custom gown by Italian designer, Ferragamo.

Megan Thee Stallion breaks protocol with behind-the-scenes video

Megan Thee Stallion broke the Met Gala’s “no-phone policy.” She took to Instagram to share a quick video of herself, Doechii, and Angel Reese toasting and sampling hors d’oeuvres. From the quick clip, we were blessed with an insider glimpse of the Met Gala menu: cornbread and caviar, white truffle lobster rolls, and vegan lox.  

Despite the no-phone rule, Stallion defiantly declares in the video. “We’re not supposed to have our phones, but we’re doing it [anyway].” You can also catch glimpses of Ciara, Cynthia Erivo, Serena Williams, and Tessa Thompson in her video clips. We loved the sneak peek inside, but let’s hope Stallion hasn’t ruined her chances of being invited back. Fingers crossed!
