Another year, another Met Gala over. And we got some seriously iconic moments from Met Gala 2025. Each year we are reminded that when it comes to this star-studded event, it's not just about the fashion – it's about the tea.
From RiRi's pregnancy announcement to an impromptu duet between Wicked star Cynthia Erivo and Jon Baptiste, the event was full of incredible moments. Our faves have to include a rather adorable White Lotus reunion between Aimee Lou Wood and Patrick Schwarzenegger, as well as Kim Kardashian's reaction when a security guard stepped on her dress.
From 3D button nail art to summer's biggest nail shade.
Here are the 12 best moments you may have missed from Met Gala 2025.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's third pregnancy announcement
Dubbed one of the cutest couple moments of the event, the stars confirmed the news of their third pregnancy right before the show… RiRi managed to pretty much shut down the Met steps when her bump was revealed. Now THAT is a moment.
Nick Jonas taking shelter from the rain under Priyanka Chopra’s hat
Hilariously, the Jonas Bro had to seek emergency shelter from the NYC rain and the nearest makeshift umbrella was his wife Priyanka's wide-brimmed hat. Iconic.
Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens attending on their second wedding anniversary
The cuties actually got married on 6 May, so attended on their second wedding anniversary. Their big day was made extra special, as the couple were also part of the event's host committee, so it must have been really special to see it come together on such an important day for them.
Aimee Lou Wood and Patrick Schwartzenegger's White Lotus reunion
The stars of the latest season of The White Lotus took on the Met Gala together, and Aimee opened up about the ways that having a friend by her side soothed her anxiety.
“I'm struggling to find my words,” she told E! News. My mouth is really dry. But Patrick — thank God. He was like, 'I'm going. Should we go together in the car?' And I said, 'Yes, please,'" she recalled. “So, we came in the car together and that had made everything a lot less scary.”
The return of Diana Ross
In her first Met Gala appearance since 2003, Diana Ross smashed the carpet in a crystal-embellshed gown with a serious, serious train.
Madonna posing with a cigar
Silky champagne suit, cigar… Madonna's first Met Gala look in seven years did not disappoint.
Kim K scolding a security guard for stepping on her dress
A viral TikTok has captured the moment where a security guard stepped on Kim's dress as she arrived at the Met Gala, and she classily raised her hand to flag his mistake. Whoops.
Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's debut
These two made their red carpet debut, and we are obsessed.
Jon Batiste playing saxophone on the red carpet…
Serenading stars such as Serena Williams, Jon Baptiste brought some musical magic to proceedings.
… And when he sung an impromptu duet with Cynthia Erivo
The duo turned heads by pausing their respective red carpet interviews to sing a brief duet that seemed to be a complete surprise to everyone around, including Jon and Cynthia – so very very cute.
Lisa from BLACKPINK wearing Rosa Parks underwear
Underneath her glittery Louis Vuitton ensemble, Lisa wore a bodysuit which was emblazoned with iconic and influential Black historical figures, such as Rosa Parks – a prominent activist during the civil rights movement.
The silly bathroom selfies
One of our favourite parts of the Met Gala each year – the bathroom selfie. Actor Laura Harrier posted a massive group pic on her story, and we are beyond jealous.
