• The first Monday in May brought out icons from every corner of pop culture for the 2025 Met Gala at The Met in NYC.
• This year’s theme? “Tailored For You,” honoring the Costume
Institute’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”—a powerful
exhibition spotlighting Black designers and the artistry of
menswear.
• Co-chairs Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour helped lead the ultra-exclusive bash, which has already raised a record-breaking $31 million for The Met’s Costume Institute.
• Want to attend next year? Better bring deep pockets—individual tickets cost $75,000, and tables start at $350K. Unless, of course, you’re a celeb getting comped by a fashion house… then carry on.
• But no one shut down the red carpet like Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, who turned the gala into a family affair once again.
• The couple—already parents to RZA (2) and Riot (21 months)—are expecting baby #3, revealed in a portrait by Miles Diggs ahead of the big night.
• Rihanna glowed in a light blue, skin-tight two-piece with matching stockings, a dramatic headpiece, and an umbrella to fight off the NYC rain like the queen she is.
• A$AP handled co-chair duties and soon-to-be dad vibes, as the couple continues to win the red carpet and parenthood.
• “We’re best friends with a baby,” Rihanna once told British Vogue, adding that motherhood has only brought them closer.
• And when did she know their bond was something special? In true Rihanna fashion—it took “less than four or five seconds.”
