Met Gala 2025 live updates: Sydney Sweeney is brutally mocked over her look as she hits red carpet

The actress arrived to the Met Gala wearing a simple black, cut-out gown… but some fans were not into her look.

People rushed to X, formerly Twitter, to criticize it. Some said it was ‘not on theme’ while others called it ‘dull’ and ‘basic.’

‘I fell asleep, yawn,’ wrote another outraged fan.

Fans believe Rihanna is expecting her third baby with partner A$AP Rocky, as photos and videos from the 2025 Met Gala appear to show the pop star cradling a baby bump.

In a video posted by Pop Base on X/Twitter, the 37-year-old Diamonds singer was seen arriving at her hotel in New York City before attending the annual fashion extravaganza.

The clip showed Rihanna wearing a light blue long sleeve shirt and matching knee-length skirt…and the Fenty Beauty founder appeared to have her baby bump on full display.

The sports star paired it with a dramatic green goat that had black detailing on the sleeves and around the neck.

Whoopi, 69, who has admitted to taking weight loss drug Mounjaro, flaunted her toned figure on the Met Gala red carpet.

She donned a black suit dress and a white coat, which she paired with a top hat.

Attending the biggest night of fashion without an invite will come at a steep cost…

According to CBS News, a ticket into the event costs $75,000, while tables for multiple guests start at $350,000.

Fashion houses typically purchase tables and invite celebrities as their guests, so stars don’t pay anything to attend, according to the outlet.

According to New Idea, things could get heated between the former couple if Hugh Jackman attends with his new girlfriend Sutton Foster.

‘It’s a nightmare because no one knows if Hugh is bringing his girlfriend along,’ a  source told the publication.

‘Hugh and Sutton have been talking for months about stepping out as a couple at the biggest night in fashion.’

The Hollywood star, 56, went public with his Broadway co-star last month, almost two years after confirming his split from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness.

While some stars wowed in their dazzling looks, others missed the mark, facing some serious fashion fails.

In shocking footage, a woman wearing a grey sweatsuit screams at security as she tries to enter one of the entrances to the hotel.

Intense rain has been coming down all evening, and fans are concerned it might ruin the coveted event.

Many took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their fears over how the storm will impact the 2025 Met Gala.

The couple were noticeably no-shows at Brooklyn’s dad David’s London birthday celebration on Saturday.

Now, a source has told The Sun, ‘They cancelled plans to attend the Met because they really intended to be at David’s party on Saturday.

‘But Brooklyn is really upset that blame for the rift has been levelled at Nicola.’

The 2025 Met Gala was hit with a number of shocking last-minute cancellations from longtime veterans of the event to one of this year’s honorary co-chairs.

See all the A-listers who have snubbed the biggest night in fashion.

The theme this year is ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ – based on Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.

It is meant to pay homage to black dandyism, a style with European roots which started post-Emancipation and came out in full force during the Harlem Renaissance.

While many fans thought it was due time that black style got the recognition it deserved, others immediately presented concerns about what could potentially come down the Met Gala red carpet.

Their main worry being the risk of cultural appropriation and offensive outfits.

Vogue editor and longtime host Anna donned a silky silver gown and a long, blue coat.

Colman opted for a more dramatic look, sporting a blue cape-like ensemble with an eye-popping white neckpiece.

As for Lewis, he looked chic in a white suit and matching hat.

The Met Gala is already under way, and it looks like the famously tight-lipped guest list may have been leaked – giving fans an early glimpse at some of the other stars set to grace the iconic red carpet.

The influencer wore a black dress that left very little to imagination.

The musician and actress completed her look with silver chains and an eye-popping neck piece, as well as a marroon coat that she draped on her shoulders and a matching bandana.

The jacket contained broad shoulder pieces and a huge flower embellishment that certainly ensured all eyes would be on her.

Photos from inside the coveted ball show the Metropolitan Museum of Art decked out with a blue carpet, stunning floral pieces, and flowers hanging from the ceiling… making for a truly exquisite setting.

They were once fashion’s most powerful pair – Anna, Vogue’s icy and immovable editor-in-chief, and André, the larger-than-life editor with a taste for revolutionary fashion.

But despite their friendship, the duo eventually became embroiled in a bitter dispute with one another.

A group of Pro-Palestininan protestors stood just outside the Met Gala red carpet as the ball kicked off.

They held up signs and passionately screamed while A-listers arrived, causing quite the commotion.

The coveted event has officially begun with Zuri and Rachel being the first to arrive.

Zuri opted for a black striped gown that resembled a suit, while Rachel donned a strapless white number.

Taylor’s fans are convinced that she’ll finally return to the Met Gala red carpet for tonight’s event – and there’s an abundance of theories as to why

The 35-year-old singer has been absent from the biggest night in fashion for eight years now, but many believe that this is the year that she will break her lengthy hiatus.

When it comes to red carpet glam, few names carry as much weight as Sally Hershberger.

The 64-year-old legendary hairstylist from Kansas – who was behind Meg Ryan’s iconic 90s choppy shag – has spent decades setting trends rather than following them.

DailyMail.com spoke exclusively with Sally to get the inside scoop ahead of fashion’s biggest night: the Met Gala, and she spilled a slew of secrets about the ball and the preparations that go into it.

Ahead of this year’s event, DailyMail.com has rounded up the most atrocious, cringe-worthy looks from past Met Galas.

NBA icon LeBron was one of six athletes named to the committee of the 2025 Met Gala. Unfortunately, the Lakers star won’t be attending.
