Marcus and Friends (dogs) Sydney Sweeney: Met Gala priorities Wasn’t a fan of Sydney Sweeney’s Met Gala look but I do appreciate Sydney Sweeney’s post-Met Gala priorities. As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, there’s a new boy in Sydney’s life – Sully Bear, her German shepherd puppy, who’s been travelling with her from By Lainey • May 07, 2025 01:20 pm
Drama Battle of the Beckhams You know what I learned this week? Going to the media to say how much you want to reconcile with a parent while also talking about how toxic the relationship is really doesn’t seem to work for British families. Yesterday afternoon, TMZ shot a de facto cannon through Brand By Maria • May 07, 2025 12:14 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Cruise takes off He likes being airborne so that’s a flight reference for Tom Cruise who kicked off Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning in Tokyo yesterday with a press conference and a splashy premiere that featured all kinds of pyro. Of course there was pyro – Tom Cruise never does anything small. You By Lainey • May 07, 2025 10:55 am
Maple Leaf Intro for May 7, 2025 Dear Gossips, The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. As a Canadian, based in Toronto, working in the entertainment industry, TIFF feels like home to me, I am so proud of the reputation the festival has built among filmmakers and what it means to By Lainey • May 07, 2025 09:20 am
What Else The Boyfriends and Husband stayed home Three notable boyfriends and a husband stayed home last night while their girlfriends and wife were at the Met Gala. Let’s start with Hailey Bieber who was at the Met Gala without Justin and for those trying to rumour some sh-t about their marriage, you must not be Canadian. By Lainey • May 06, 2025 03:07 pm
Met Gala 2025 Jodie Turner-Smith: Met Gala 2025 Best Dressed (Lainey) I said in an earlier post today that the fashion last night at the Met Gala was overall the best we’ve seen in years. Certainly better than the clump of trees that happened last year. And mostly because those who understood the assignment were model students of Professor Monica By Lainey • May 06, 2025 02:35 pm
Met Gala 2025 Teyana Taylor and Guest Star Ego Nwodim: Met Gala 2025 Best Dressed (Duana) I have only one negative thing to say about Teyana Taylor’s ensemble last night, which is that we were very rarely able to see it head on: Most of the time, we saw her co-hosting the blue carpet, so we got the chains on the pants (which originally I By Duana • May 06, 2025 02:14 pm
Style Mindy Kaling: Met Gala 2025 Best Dressed (Sarah) I don’t think I’ve ever picked Mindy Kaling for anything, but here she is, my best dressed of the Met Gala 2025. She obviously loved her look, too. She wore custom Harbison Studio, referencing late 18th/early 19th century military style. The sash, the buttons, the lapels, it’ By Sarah • May 06, 2025 01:40 pm
Met Gala 2025 Oxblood, Sweat, and Relatively Few Tears We’re going to do proper Best Dressed anointments later in the day, but for my money, the people in this piece are the ones who really collectively killed it. I didn’t start out thinking the oxblood would be the key colour of the night, and I have to By Duana • May 06, 2025 01:22 pm
Met Gala 2025 Best (and a Worst) Of Both in Black & White Yes, it’s a very classic, stylish look. No, it is not the most original – as we can see by the fact that, first of all, there are myriad variations on this theme seen here, and second, that there are other looks we highlighted elsewhere that could, in theory, have By Duana • May 06, 2025 12:26 pm
Met Gala 2025 The Queen and the Ivory Court At the Met Gala, you hope for a moment when someone just takes over the stairs, makes it impossible for anyone else to do much else… even Zendaya! Who else but Diana Ross? Of course it’s the dress, with that 18-foot train, and the feathered hat, and the sparkles, By Lainey • May 06, 2025 11:27 am
Hair Met Hair Style “This is the swaggiest Met Gala, period.” Those were the words that Teyana Taylor uttered just as Vogue ended its red carpet livestream. But on the other end of the production, just as the night began, there were slight indications of just how swaggy it was going to be – from By Stephanie • May 06, 2025 10:32 am
Met Gala 2025 Literal tailoring One way to approach this year’s Met Gala theme is to literally dress like a dandy, but another interpretation is to lean into “tailoring”. Some people chose to literally represent tailoring with garments referencing the production of clothing. For instance, Walton Goggins wore a custom Thom Browne skirt suit By Sarah • May 06, 2025 09:32 am
Met Gala 2025 The Met Gala’s Best Dandies The theme of the night was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, drawing heavily from Professor Monica L. Miller’s book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. Dandyism is the context, and some attendees of the 2025 Met Gala took it literally, not just referencing or By Sarah • May 06, 2025 08:56 am
Met Gala 2025 Well Dressed but Not Well Versed This, for me, in terms of the styling, was one of the best Met Galas in years. There are, of course, a few exceptions here and there but aesthetically, where meeting the theme is concerned, the majority of it worked. The looks were really, really good. But, as I noted By Lainey • May 06, 2025 08:30 am
Style The Met Gala’s Well-Suited Women With a Dandyism theme, suits and suiting are on everyone’s mind, and though “dress like the boys” isn’t a huge stretch on the theme, many of the women in this category might never get to wear pants to an event, depending on their stylist’s inclinations or whatever By Duana • May 06, 2025 08:04 am
