The Met Gala 2025 Live Blog: I’m Talking Red Carpet Arrivals From Cynthia Erivo, Walton Goggins And More
It's Met Monday!

The biggest night in celebrity fashion is here, as hundreds of elite guests climb the infamous steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Met Gala. This year’s theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” and I can’t wait to see how the biggest names in film, music, sports culture and more — who shelled out thousands of dollars for a ticket and were vetted by Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour — interpret the “Tailored For You” dress code.
The men might take center stage tonight, with Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton and A$AP Rocky serving as co-chairs and LeBron James as honorary chair. I’m still excited to see what the ladies have in store, though. What will Zendaya be wearing? How many Kardashians are attending, or are we choosing to believe that Rihanna got them uninvited? Follow along for the fashion hits, misses and everything in between as we go on this exploration and celebration of Black identity.
Welcome To CinemaBlend's Met Gala 2025 Coverage!
The celebrities are starting to arrive! I really hope everyone wearing death-defying heels (or no heels like Kim Kardashian last year) practiced their stair-climbing in preparation for this. That’s honestly something I’d lose sleep over. Now, on to the fashion!
Vogue Correspondent Emma Chamberlain Has Arrived
Not surprisingly, Vogue Editor Anna Wintour is among the first arrivals, along with co-hosts Teyana Taylor, La La Anthony, and Ego Nwodim. Wintour's look is actually from one of tonight's co-chairs, Pharrell Williams for Louis Vuitton.
Emma Chamberlain has also arrived to serve as Vogue's special correspondent. She is wearing a floor-length asymmetrical Courrèges pinstriped dress that is strapless and backless.
Emma Chamberlain accessorized with sheer black gloves and jewelry she found on eBay, per Vanity Fair. You've gotta love a good bargain find at the Met Gala!
Sydney Sweeney Stuns In Miu Miu
Sydney Sweeney never disappoints in the fashion department, and she looks glamorous in black Miu Miu, a fully owned subsidiary of Prada, that features a cutout over her chest.
Her hair is worn in an up-do, and she accessorized with earrings and rings. Lovely!
Pharrell Williams Is Making Me ‘Happy’ With Thousands Of Pearls
Co-chair Pharrell Williams arrived to the Met Gala wearing a jacket made of 15,000 pearls that reportedly took 400 hours to construct, according to AP. He paired the white jacket with black flare-leg pants.
Accompanying Pharrell is his wife Helen Lasichanh, who wore a black bodysuit with a suit jacket over her shoulders. Accessories are everything, as she proved with that handbag!
Maya Hawke Is Pretty In Prada
Maya Hawke is looking pretty in Prada pink with a huge cascading cape.
Sadie Sink Is No Stranger To High Fashion
Sadie Sink joined her Stranger Things co-star Maya Hawke in Prada, walking the steps in a black gown that trailed behind her.
Sadie Sink's red hair shone bright against the darker shade.
Sarah Snook Is All Business In AnOnlyChild Suit
Logan Roy may have thought his children were unserious, but Shiv actress Sarah Snook meant business as she arrived at the fundraiser in a black AnOnlyChild suit.
The suit included a train that trailed behind her with red lining on the inside.
Whoopi Goldberg Is An Icon In A Top Hat
Whoopi Goldberg is making iconic moves, pairing her black suit with a veiled top hat. I thought she paired a white fur stole with it, but look again.
We're looking at 350,000 white sequins strung together to make that. Wild!
Zendaya Is Superfine In A Three-Piece Suit
Zendaya embodied the night's theme perfectly, because she looked "Superfine" in a custom Louis Vuitton three-piece suit. The white outfit featured a brooch on the back.
That hat is the cherry on this cake of perfection.
Diana Ross … DAAAAAANG!
In case anybody forgot who the real icon is tonight, Diana Ross just put us all in our place. The Queen of Motown donned a white gown with large feathered white hat and even larger train that featured a trim of feathers and beading.
The train draped nearly the entirety of the museum’s staircase and took six men to help her with it as she fanned herself at the top. Diana Ross told Vogue that the names of all her children and eight grandchildren are embroidered on the inside of the massive train.
Pamela Anderson Is Accompanied By Her Son
I absolutely love to see Pam Anderson living her best makeup-free life. The actress shimmered in a long-sleeved maxi dress as she walked the steps with her son.
I'm loving the blonde bob with the bangs!
Simone Biles Gives Gold Medal In A Blue Gown
Simone Biles may be known for her gold medals, but blue was her color at the Met Gala.
The Olympian donned a bright blue collared vest dress that boasted a huge matching bow and train.
Tramell Tillman Stuns In Pinstripes
Severance actor Tramell Tillman looks dapper as hell in his black jacket and pinstripe pants with black train. The lining of the train is also striped.
I will try to enjoy each part of this outfit equally.
Barry Keoghan Adds A Pop Of Red
We're seeing lots of black and white at this gala, but Barry Keoghan isn't afraid to mix it up.
He walked the steps in Valentino with a red sash and decorative collar and sleeves
Lupita Nyong'o Is Baby Blue Perfection
Lupita Nyong'o can do no wrong. This baby blue suit with matching hat is yet another color she wears flawlessly.
All these capes and trains ... I love them. Cannot get enough.

Tyler Perry isn't afraid of a little sparkle. In a look from House of Gray, he draped his black suit with a cream-colored jacket with slits on the sleeves.
Kerry Washington And Walton Goggins Drop Jaws
Kerry Washington wore a cream-colored suit jacket and wide-brimmed hat over a long see-through skirt as she paused for a photo with Walton Goggins.

Dua Lipa Makes Red Carpet Debut With Callum Turner
Dua Lipa looked amazing in a textured outfit that featured 45,000 embroidered elements, a sheer across midriff and feathered skirt by Chanel.
Callum Turner went fairly basic in his suit, but what an opportunity for the couple to make their red carpet debut! They have been romantically linked since January 2024.
Cynthia Erivo Looks Straight-Up Wicked
We've seen Cynthia Erivo in a lot of green lately, but on Met Monday she went in the opposite direction with a custom Givenchy by Sarah Burton corset embroidered with red, black and white crystals.
Her black tulle skirt billowed beautifully around her knee-high lace-up boots and matching bag.
Doechii Makes Her Mark On The Met Steps
Doechii made her Met Gala debut in a look that's not likely to be forgotten. The Grammy winner sported a custom patterned Louis Vuitton jacket with checkerboard shorts and a statement burgundy tie.

Will Aimee Lou Wood run into Walton Goggins inside the event amid their rumored feud? We may never know!
Shaboozey Draped In Pearls Is Making Me Tipsy
Shaboozey looked exquisite draped in pearls that fell all the way to his waist.
The look also incorporated an oversized pant, short jacket and hat worn askew.

Doja Cat always makes an impression with her fashion, and she was a hit with a strong-shouldered Marc Jacobs tiger print bodysuit.
Sabrina Carpenter Says No Pants, No Problem
Sabrina Carpenter took the "Tailored For You" dress code quite literally, because this burgendy bodysuit fit the singer like a glove.
Blonde bombshell perfection.
Priyanka Chopra And Nick Jonas Are Hot, Hot, Hot
Nick Jonas couldn't have smoldered any harder as he nuzzled up to his wife Priyanka Chopra.
Her hat threatened to keep him at arm's length, but it was probably for the best with all the sexy vibes they were giving off.
Lizzo Goes Full Cruella de Vil
Lizzo showed off her beautiful figure in a black-and-white gown that billowed at her feet. The long cigarette is giving full Disney villain.
I am absolutely loving the blonde curls!
Keke Palmer Gives Her Take On A Tuxedo
A white dress with structured hips and embroidered detailing served as an exaggerated tuxedo shirt over black pants for Keke Palmer's Met Gala moment.
The black headpiece completed the look perfectly.
Shakira Jumps On The Train Train
We've seen so many amazing capes and trains at the 2025 gala, and Shakira isn't one to be left out.
Fashion critics had a little trouble finding the evening's theme in her ensemble, but there's no arguing that she looks beautiful.
