After making their red carpet debut at the star-studded fundraiser last year, former stars Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan both made their separate appearances at the 2025 Met Gala.

Exes Sabrina Carpenter and Irish actor Barry Keoghan arrived separately at the 2025 Met Gala this evening after making their red carpet debut as a couple at the annual fundraiser last year.

The Espresso hitmaker and the dad-of-one posed together at the event in May last year after being first linked months prior. Three months later it was reported Sabrina and Barry had split up, with the Saltburn actor deactivating his social media accounts and issuing a damning statement as fans speculated he had cheated on his ex.

Following his casting in the upcoming The Beatles biopics, Barry appeared to have paid tribute to Ringo Starr at the 2025 gala outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In a way that wouldn’t go off the mark on the Sgt. 1967 album cover. Barry, the lead singer of Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, donned a custom Valentino military-inspired outfit. Barry chose dark tones and floral details over The Beatles’ bold, bold color schemes, though.

The Oscar-nominated actor arrived shortly after his ex-girlfriend Sabrina, avoiding a awkward run-in with her. For the 2025 Met Gala, the singer, who donned a dramatic train and a burgundy bodysuit from Louis Vuitton, donned her pants.

Jennifer Lopez, who is newly single, broke her agreement to appear on the infamous red carpet earlier this evening, leaving the event with a number of well-known names. Instead of working on her new movie Office Romance with Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein in the New Jersey area, the mother-of-two is busy.

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were rumoured to be attending at the Met Gala in New York this evening, though it has now been claimed that they have pulled out of the event despite originally planning to.

Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, made the last-minute decision to skip the event’s star-studded weekend, choosing to remain in the UK instead. This homebound choice is thought to have its origins in David Beckham’s famous 50th birthday celebrations.

At his bash on Saturday night, David was surrounded by a celebrity-heavy crowd. Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly both missing, and this is consistent with previous reports of rumors about rifts in the family dynamic.

It’s believed the young couple had no intention of attending the prestigious Met Gala in New York tonight, despite reports that his family was “always” informed not to attend the famous fashion show.

Brooklyn and Nicola have reportedly decided against attending this year’s soiree, which is being held under the theme of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” despite being well-known at previous events hosted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and wearing their chicest outfits.

They canceled their attendance at the Met because they actually wanted to go to David’s party on Saturday, according to an insider. Brooklyn is upset that Nicola has been held accountable for the rift, though. She is a faithful wife, and she has never told him what to do.

The Mirror has a look back at some former partners who split after their debut at the fashion event. The Met Gala is back tonight.

Celebrities are gracing the Met Gala red carpet tonight for what’s often described as the biggest night in fashion. The event has welcomed a host of stars to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York over the years.

Several famous former couples have chosen the venue as the backdrop to officially announce their relationship, only to later part ways. And although some couples are still together after making their red carpet debut at the annual occasion, it’s led to rumours of a so-called ‘Met Gala curse’.

There’s often interest in the emergence of new romances at the event each year, despite guest’s outfits being the main attraction. The likes of Selena Gomez, Barry Keoghan and Kylie Jenner have used the event to show off their new relationships, before splitting from their respective partners, as reported by the Mirror US. Ahead of this year’s event, we’ve taken a look at just some of the couples whose relationships fizzled out after they made their public debut on the Met Gala red carpet.

Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter

Singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter and actor Barry Keoghan are among the most recent exes to have made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Met Gala. They posed together at the event in May last year after being first linked months prior. Three months later it was reported Sabrina and Barry had split up after their apparent brief romance though.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik

Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid had an on-off relationship from 2015 to 2021. They first graced the red carpet together at the Met Gala in 2016. The former One Direction member and the model made a rare public appearance together. After a brief separation, they rekindled their romance in 2019 and welcomed a baby in 2020, before finally parting ways the following year.

The Weeknd and Selena Gomez

In 2017, Selena Gomez and fellow singer The Weeknd – also known as Abel Tesfaye – officially stepped out as a couple. After being seen getting cosy during a dinner date and posting pictures of each other on Instagram, they strolled arm in arm down the Met Gala carpet. Months later, by October of the same year, they had called it quits though.

Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez

Singer Jennifer Lopez and former baseball player Alex Rodriguez made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala back in 2017, following rumours of a romance in the months prior. They ended up being together for four years and during that time J-Lo and A-Rod graced the event at the annual event three times. The now former couple later parted ways in 2021.

Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart

Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart – who were co-stars on the show Riverdale at the time – made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Met Gala in 2018, confirming their off-screen romance at the event. They returned in 2019 but it was then announced the following year that they had split up.

Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner

Reality TV star Kylie Jenner and rapper Travis Scott first stepped out as a couple at the fashion event in 2018, just months after welcoming their first child together in February of that year. The former couple, who returned to the event in 2019, reportedly split in 2023 though after an on-off relationship spanning five years.

Grimes and Elon Musk

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and singer-songwriter Grimes were another couple who made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala one year. They were photographed together at the event, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in 2018. It was then reported four years later in 2022 that the pair, who now have three children together, had split up.

Michael Sheen and Sarah Silverman

Comedian Sarah Silverman and fellow actor Michael Sheen made their red carpet debut at the fashion event, which is formally called the Costume Institute Benefit, in May 2014, just a few months after they started dating. The now former couple continued to date for three more years before it was announced in 2018 that they had separated.

FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson

Actor Robert Pattinson and singer-songwriter FKA Twigs also made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala. The former couple were seen together at the event in 2015, a year after they began dating. It was however later reported that the pair parted ways two years after their attendance in 2017.

In a sweeping white gown with an 18-foot train embroidered with the names of her children and grandchildren, Diana Ross slammed the red carpet at the Met Gala.

Diana Ross made her big return to the Met Gala in style earlier this evening and made sure all eyes were on her as she attended the annual fundraiser for the first time in 22 years.

The iconic singer rocked the blue carpet outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a flowing white gown, adorned with crystals and beads, featured an 18-foot train embroidered with the names of her children and grandchildren.

Diana, her son Evan Ross, and Nigerian designer Ugo Mozie worked closely together to create the stunning evening design.

Together, they wanted to highlight a bespoke design that honored the Ross name’s generations in a sophisticated manner, according to Vogue.

The embroidered names include her own children’s – Rhonda, Tracee, Chudney, Ross, and Evan-and her eight grandchildren, Raif, Callaway, Everlee, Leif, Indigo, Jagger, Bronx, and Ziggy. Tonight marks Diana’s fifth time attending the Met Gala. She first attended back in 1978 alongside legendary designer Halston.

The singer has consistently displayed her signature sparkle on the Met’s steps, most recently in 2003 when she donned a flowing red Gucci gown. However, this evening’s thoughtful design was one of her most glamorous and heartfelt creations.

Zendaya, another actress who made a big impression at the Met Gala, is credited with a nod to Diana Ross and Bianca Jagger.

The 28-year-old American actress stunned onlookers on Monday evening as she greeted the crowd with her sparkling blue carpet outside New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, Costume Institute, which she recently announced her engagement to British actor Tom Holland.

Zendaya is recognizable for her role in The Challengers, and she wore an oversized hat and a chic cream suit. Her silk outfit was enhanced by glittering diamond earrings, and her hair was neatly styled in a bun.

Fashion commentator Derek Guy shared his insights on Twitter, suggesting a connection between Zendaya’s attire and Bianca Jagger, who was known for her purchases from Tommy Nutter.

He remarked, “Zendaya’s outfit kind of reminds me of Bianca Jagger, who purchased clothing from Tommy Nutter.” Nutter and cutter Edward Sexton merged fashion and traditional craft to create clothing for rock kings like The Beatles and Diana Ross in the 1970s, upending Savile Row.

Another Twitter user echoed this sentiment, saying, “ZENDAYA!!! A third fan praised: “One thing about zendaya she’s gonna know exactly how to pose on the carpet to sell a look. This is very reminiscent of bianca jagger’s 70s suits and tailored perfectly.” She’s been the law’s muse since the beginning, so why. She goes beyond!!! “!

‘Kanye West reportedly sparked a security panne at the Met Gala 2025,”’ according to reports. Anna Wintour is said to be enforcing strict new protocols in case the rapper attempts to gatecrash the occasion.

Met Gala 2025 could be heading for a storm, but it’s not the fashion causing a stir. It is being reported that Anna Wintour has beefed up security at the Met over concerns that Kanye West might crash the star-studded high-fashion bash uninvited.

Insiders speaking to RadarOnline suggested: “Anna is not messing around. There’s a full protocol in place if Kanye is spotted anywhere near the carpet.”

This drastic move comes after Ye posted a deeply unsettling drawing that suggested he would appear in a KKK-inspired outfit.

The sketch, which was uploaded to his X profile, featured a figure with boots and gloves and a hood akin to those worn by the racist Ku Klux Klan.

West’s artwork was dubbed “MET BALL 2025,” which sparked a lot of criticism from his fans, who vehemently criticized it and compared it to other similar outfits he wore in an interview with DJ Akademiks.

Immediate outrage ensued, leaving Met Gala officials worried the artist might craft another headline-worthy fiasco on their night. A top fashion security expert cautioned the outlet: “It’s not just about the outfit – it’s about the chaos he brings. After what happened at the Grammys, no one’s taking chances.”

Other reports in the States indicate that Kim Kardashian is feeling tense about possibly bumping into her ex-husband, Kanye, at the event.

Kim Kardashian is focused on both her brand and appearance, according to a source close to the reality star and Skims founder. She would rather Kanye pull a stunt and ruin the night.

West’s potential presence is reportedly causing stress behind the scenes, despite there being no formal prohibition against him.

Wintour, according to insiders, has requested a detailed plan in case the hip-hop star appears at the glam party.

There is a plan, according to an informant, if he shows up. No drama on Anna’s carpet, she has made it clear. The Met Gala, a gathering that is associated with Wintour’s leadership, is renowned for its upscale attendees and extravagant fashion shows.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art typically hosts about 450 distinguished guests, from political heavyweights to the entertainment industry.

Fans praised the Euphoria actress for consistently adhering to the theme of the Met Gala 2025 while Zendaya is wearing a creme-colored three-piece suit.

Actress Zendaya has donned an iconic look at the Met Gala once again, and many fans are certain the Euphoria star is paying homage to both Bianca Jagger and Diana Ross with her latest appearance at the annual fundraiser.

The 28-year-old American star – who recently confirmed her engagement to British actor Tom Holland – turned heads as she posed on the blue carpet outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Costume Institute in New York City on Monday night.

The actress paired her hair with a neat bun and a sleek cream suit with an oversized hat. She also added sparkling diamond earrings to the silk ensemble.

Menswear writer Derek Guy took to Twitter (X) to give his expert opinion on the fashion icon’s look, telling his followers: “Zendaya’s outfit kind of reminds me of Bianca Jagger, who bought clothes from Tommy Nutter. Together with cutter Edward Sexton, Nutter upended Savile Row in the 1970s by fusing fashion with traditional craft, making clothes for rock royalty such as The Beatles and Diana Ross.”

“ZENDAYA!!! very reminiscent of bianca jagger’s 70s suits and tailored to perfection,” another Twitter user agreed, with a third declaring: “One thing about zendaya she’s gonna know exactly how to pose on the carpet to sell a look. no wonder she’s been law’s muse since the beginning. she is BEYOND!!!!”

“Zendaya don’t play fair. My goodness,” another gushed as one fan praised the star as they wrote: “Zendaya arrived as the exact theme… SUPERFINE. TAILORED. BLACK. STYLE. It’s giving me modern Mahogany realness from the classic Diana Ross film. it’s also low-key giving Bridal Dandy with the Tom Holland sponsored ice on that hand. as always, she cleaned across the board. #MetGala.”

This year’s Met Gala has the theme ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’, and the accompanying dress code is ‘Tailored for You’. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour along with actor Colman Domingo, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, rapper A$AP Rocky, musician-turned-fashion-mogul Pharrell Williams and honorary chair LeBron James are co-chairing the event.

The annual spring exhibition, which this year is largely based on Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, serves as the inspiration for the theme. She serves as the exhibit’s guest curator.

Following Diana Ross’ stunning arrival, Zendaya graced the occasion. Without her boyfriend Tom Holland or her favorite stylist Law Roach by her side, she attended alone.

in conversation with E! Law Roach made hints about their separate appearances in April, stating, “We will be on the Met Gala steps.” Yes, in a different way this year. That will be truly amazing. This year, we’re doing our own thing, which is exciting.

Her co-chair Pharrell Williams designed her a bespoke Louis Vuitton suit that is simple yet elegant. The renowned French fashion house is currently represented by Zendaya.

Bradley Riches, an Emmerdale actor, claims he has already invited his pals from the Netflix teen series Heartstopper and Celebrity Big Brother to his wedding to Scott Johnston in April.

Emmerdale newcomer Bradley Riches says things are going so well on the soap that he’ll need to expand the guest-list at his wedding next year.

The Heartstopper star, 23, says he’s already invited his pals from the hit Netflix teen series and Celebrity Big Brother to his marriage to Scott Johnston next April, at an English manor house. “I’ll probably end up inviting the whole Emmerdale cast,” he laughed. “I’ll have been filming for over a year by then So, yes, we’ll definitely need to expand the guest list.”

He says that landing a role in the long-running ITV soap would have been particularly special for one family member. “It was my grandad Peter’s favourite soap. I’ve always had a special connection with Emmerdale. Maybe it was his parting gift. He’d have been buzzing.”

Bradley, who is primarily credited with playing James McEwan in Heartstopper, claims he is ignoring those who have criticised him for the new role. He says, “In this industry, you’ve always expected that, which is sad to say, about the negative comments he’s had about joining Emmerdale.” Some people won’t like it because I’m my true and authentic self. I was anticipating it: a happy, gay, autistic person, delighted to have a new job. Naturally, that has a negative component within it. However, a lot of optimism drowned it out. I’m having a truly amazing time. No one will stop me from having this experience.

In the soap he will make his first appearance as Lewis Barton next week, making him the brother of Ross Barton, played by Michael Michael Parr. “My mum was Emma Barton who was killed some years ago by Moira Dingle, who is like a second mum to Ross. I reach out to him to say I’d love to meet him and know more about my mum but when we meet, we don’t see eye to eye. I’m very to-the-point and have a thousand questions I want answered, which scares Ross. So they really don’t create that brotherly bond and I leave. Obviously, I return! For Lewis, expect the unexpected – he’s got a few secrets up his sleeve.”

Bradley claims that Michael has made it easier for him to adjust to the set. My first five weeks with Mike were spent just us two, so I have a special bond with him. He and I are like brothers, and he is very protective of me. You’re now under my wing, he says. which is so lovely. Some people were a little hostile when I announced my role, and he said, “No, this is not happening.

And he’s already looking forward to other projects, even though he’s thoroughly enjoying his time on the soap. I’m happy to be doing this because I’m learning so much from Emmerdale and it’s so quickly-paced. However, I’d really like to do Strictly in the future.
