Sabrina Carpenter’s outfit is the latest to cause a stir from the Met Gala red carpet.
The ‘Please Please Please’ singer is no stranger to causing controversy – just take a look at the so-called ‘Juno’ positions she’s acted out while on her recent international Short n’ Sweet tour.
Now, Carpenter is the latest to rock up to the Met Gala red carpet, serving up an outfit that adheres to this year’s dress code while giving a gracious nod to the hit that catapulted her to fame.
As it’s fashion’s biggest night of the year, dozens of Hollywood’s most famous faces are already strutting the red carpet in all their glitzy fits, all to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan, New York.

The dress code invites attendees to make it ‘Tailored for You,’ focusing on a variety of tailored suiting styles and menswear with some generous wiggle room for interpretation.
And it appears the ‘Espresso’ hitmaker has done exactly that, opting for a espresso-colored leotard with tailored espresso-colored blazer to boot and a trail resembling ties in – you guessed it, espresso color, with only a dash of white around the collar.
Racing to social media, many said they loved the look on her.
“She is so Espresso! Heck yes!” said one on Twitter, as a second added: “Espresso suit I LOVE. Sabrina Carpenter the woman you are.”
“Looking like a freshly brewed cup of espresso!” read another comment.
“She GOT THE ASSIGNMENT!!!!,” another very happy fan penned.

However, not everyone were diehard fans of the look as while admitting it was ‘on brand’ for her, dozens more said they wanted something a bit more from the star.
“Cute,” said one. “Just wish she would do something different to her hair.”
“It’s cute kinda expected more but she definitely serving espresso,” a second agreed, while a third added: “This would have looked so good with a different bottom silhouette like a dramatic skirt of pant.”
“I think it’s cute and I love my girl but she played it very safe and that’s so not what the met is for!!!” another waded in.
Carpenter’s fit isn’t the only one to turn heads tonight, from Sydney Sweeney’s all-black ballroom-esque fit to Simone Biles short blue dress.

Shocking price most celebrities must pay if they want to attend the Met Gala
It’s not cheap to go to the Met Gala…
Have you ever been invited to a party and forced to cough up a fortune? Because that’s exactly what you’d have to do if you wanted to go to the Met Gala.
The Met Gala sees some of Hollywood’s greats don the great carpet well suited and booted. After all, it is fashion’s biggest night in the calendar.
The event is all to do with raising funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan, New York, after making its debut back in 1948 as a fundraiser for the nascent Costume Institute.
Driving the initiative was fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert, followed by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour who took over the reigns as lead chairperson of the Gala event since 1995.

Wintour oversees the benefit committee and the guest list, as well as choosing who will co-host the glamorous event with her.
This year, singer and actor Teyana Taylor, actor and producer La La Anthony, and actor and comedian Ego Nwodim, are co-hosting alongside her while the famous faces taking to the carpet have been tasked with meeting the brief of ‘Black dandyism.’
The theme follows with the Costume Institute’s ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ exhibition from May 10 to October 26 and has been picked to examine the ‘importance of clothing and style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora,’ according to Vogue.
It is also the first exhibition since 2003’s ‘Men in Skirts’ that focuses on menswear, though the dress code invites attendees to make it ‘Tailored for You,’ focusing on a variety of tailored suiting styles and menswear with ample wiggle room for interpretation.

Yet while it cost just $50 a ticket back in the day, it sure does cost a pretty penny for celebs hoping and praying for an invite.
Fast forward to 2025 and they’re looking at coughing up 1,500 times more than that – at an eye-watering $75,000 a ticket.
That’s per person, by the way.
For those looking for the most lavish Gala experience, tables start from $350,000, according to CBS News.
However, that’s not to say celebs will be footing the bill for the star-studded evening as couture powerhouses that sell high-end fashion are known to buy the tables and invite their A-listers along – providing they wear one of their designs while strutting the famous red carpet.

This year also poses the first Met exhibit to be devoted exclusively to Black designers, the news outlet adds.
Speaking to The Associated Press, music artist Janelle Monáe said: “I I think honoring minorities, honoring Black and brown people in these spaces and outside every day, is important.
“The ones who have dedicated their lives to this country to serve, build and give us art to sustain us for a lifetime.
“We should continue to honor them and push forward and stand on their shoulders.”

Fans outraged after one celebrity reveals they were not invited back to the Met Gala
The model stunned on the carpet at the Met Gala last year
Fans have been left outraged after learning that a certain celebrity has not invited back to the Met Gala this year.
It’s fashion’s biggest night of the year where some of Hollywood’s VIPs are invited to strut the red carpet event in all their glamour and glitz, all to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan, New York.
This year, dozens of famous faces are anticipated to show off their fits at the Met Gala to the political and aesthetic constructs of ‘Black dandyism’ to align with the Costume Institute’s ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ exhibition from May 10 to October 26.
The theme has been picked to examine the ‘importance of clothing and style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora,’ according to Vogue, and is the first exhibition since 2003’s ‘Men in Skirts’ that focuses on menswear.

The show is also inspired by co-curator Monica Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
However, one celebrity has apparently been shunned from serving on the carpet this year, which fans are understandably outraged about.
Revealing he won’t be attending the 2025 Met Gala on Twitter, model Wisdom Kaye wrote: “I was not invited to the met, I know you guys wanna see me there so just letting y’all know. Looking forward to seeing all the beautiful interpretations of black dandyism tmrw :).”
Kaye, an American-Nigerian who was born in Nigeria but raised in Texas from the age of four, shot to fame as a model and social media influencer.
The 24-year-old has long been on Vogue’s radar, who called him ‘TikTok’s best-dressed guy’ since 2021.
Justice for Widom Kaye not being invited at the 2025 Met Gala. He had a brilliant debut at last year’s one. Not including him is such a baffling decision. He is the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”
Dozens of his fans have since taken to social media to rage against the apparent shun, particularly noting how he would excel in this year’s category.
“Justice for Wisdom Kaye not being invited at the 2025 Met Gala,” wrote one.
“He had a brilliant debut at last year’s one. Not including him is such a baffling decision. He is the theme ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’.”
Another agreed: “Wisdom not being invited to the met gala this year is insane and he had one of the best looks last year. it transcends time and theme. he wore robert wun.”
Another slammed the move as ‘outright disrespectful’.

They wrote: “You not being invited to the Met Gala, despite the theme being ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,’ is truly shocking and just outright disrespectful.
“You’re quite literally the modern-day embodiment of this theme and have worked 10 times harder than the majority of the people that were invited to make a name for yourself in the fashion world. Anna Wintour needs to do better!”
“This had to be an egregious oversight cuz you embody the theme on an off day wtf,” chimed a fourth.

Sydney Sweeney reveals stunning new look at Met Gala but fans are divided on one thing
Sydney Sweeney is certainly turning heads with her Met Gala look
Sydney Sweeney has revealed a stunning new look at the Met Gala, but fans are divided on one thing.
Celebs are beginning to pour into the hotly anticipated Met Gala in New York today as fashion’s biggest night of the year is back.
As usual, dozens of Hollywood’s greats are anticipated to show off their fits, this time to the political and aesthetic constructs of ‘Black dandyism’ to align with the Costume Institute’s ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ exhibition from May 10 to October 26.
Now, Sydney Sweeney has stepped out in a stunning all-black attire and a rather new look, though some fans aren’t so convinced by the overall ensemble.

Taking to Twitter, dozens said the 27-year-old’s glittery black and beaded dress that trailed behind her on the steps, along with a new hair style, was ‘beautiful’,
One swooning fan wrote: “SYDNEY SWEENY THE DIVA YOU ARE MY GOD,” as another simply said: “SHES EATING OMG.”
“The way she said ‘dont forget to serve face when u walk out’ is sending meeeee,” a third chimed, referring to someone off-camera reminding the star to stay posed as she walked inside.
Yet many more appeared to take issue with some aspects of her overall aesthetic as they pointed out one glaring thing.
“GORGEOUS but off theme,” said one.
As many pointed out, the theme has been picked to examine the ‘importance of clothing and style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora,’ as per Vogue, and comes as the first exhibition since 2003’s ‘Men in Skirts’ that focuses on menswear.

The show is also inspired by co-curator Monica Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
“Weren’t we supposed to be wearing suits?” said another after seeing Sweeney’s outfit.
“I wish she followed the theme but I know no one ever follows his name,” wrote another.
Others also took aim at Sweeney’s styling, saying they weren’t keen on her newly debuted hair and make-up.
“I love Sydney Sweeney but this is too safe. I feel like her stylist let her down. She could have pushed the envelope even further,” penned one fan.
“The dress of a glittered bat she could only pull off,” another joked, as another added: “The hair is a no from me, dog.”
Still, Sweeney’s look has certainly turned heads already and won’t be the only one to cause a stir as dozens of Hollywood’s VIPs pile into the gala.

Simone Biles leaves fans confused with shocking Met Gala dress
Simone Biles is the latest to cause a stir on the Met Gala’s infamous red carpet
It seems Simone Biles has confused some fans with her Met Gala attire at this year’s prestigious event.
The American artistic gymnast has turned heads with a rather unusual look for the Met Gala today.
It’s fashion’s biggest night of the year where some of Hollywood’s VIPs are already strutting the red carpet in all their glamour and glitz, all to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan, New York.
This year, dozens of famous faces are showcasing their fits to the political and aesthetic constructs of ‘Black dandyism’ to align with the Costume Institute’s ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ exhibition from May 10 to October 26.
The theme has been picked to examine the ‘importance of clothing and style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora,’ according to Vogue, and is the first exhibition since 2003’s ‘Men in Skirts’ that focuses on menswear.

Biles, accompanied by her husband and NFL star Jonathan Owens, turned heads with her short blue dress ensemble that was paired with a tiny blue purse and blue heels while the dress has a long trail and studded collar.
Yet dozens have taken to social media, apparently baffled by the 28-year-old’s look this year.
Her critics apparently aren’t too keen on the dress itself, as one said on Twitter: “Are her bottoms or the rest of the dress missing? its cute but lacking something.”
“Who is dressing her, someone who doesn’t like her,” another said a little harshly.

However, they weren’t the only ones to disapprove.
“Girl what is that,” another disgruntled fan wrote, while another declared: “I don’t like her dress!!”
“Stick to gymnastics girl coz ILY BUT WHAT IS THIS,” another fan waded in on the debate.
Despite the intense criticism, plenty more have said they loved the hot-take on this year’s theme as Biles clearly wore a tailored outfit but went out of the box with blue, as opposed to the many black outfits that we’ve seen so far.

“MOTHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I LOVE HER,” said one.
“GAG SHES SERVING,” another fan added.
A third went so far as to say Biles and her outfit presents ‘one of the best in style.’
Biles isn’t the only one to cause a stir on the red carpet either, as fans were also divided by Sydney Sweeney’s apparently ‘safe’ outfit.
