A parade of celebrities, including Naomi Osaka, Angela Bassett, Madonna, and Sabrina Carpenter posed for the cameras. Some famous faces – Bad Bunny, Heidi Klum, and Katy Perry – were nearly unrecognisable thanks to their commitment to the “costume” theme.
KYLIE Jenner has once again gotten fans talking with her daring looks as she rocked a curve-hugging “nipple dress” on the 2026 Met Gala red carpet.
The reality star wore the sexy look for a solo night out in New York City despite fans hoping that boyfriend Timothee Chalamet would be her date for the first Monday in May.
Kylie, 28, stunned in a formfitting Schiaparelli strapless nude corset that pushed up her chest with cups that included nipples poking out.
The corset went down to her hips, where a long lace skirt draped down to her feet.
She completed her look with a diamond necklace and smokier glam makeup.
The mom-of-two rocked a side part with old Hollywood curls and a long piece of hair going over her forehead.
Timothee, 30, chose to skip the Met Gala red carpet but was just down the street at Madison Square Garden to support his beloved New York Knicks as the team competes in the NBA playoffs.
While his girlfriend was serving looks for the cameras, the Oscar-nominee was pictured court-side at tonight’s Knicks game against the Philadelphia 76ers for Game 1 of the conference semifinals.
Kylie, 28, has become one of the Met Gala’s most talked-about regulars however, it’s not always for the right reasons.
From her dazzling debut to viral backlash over a baseball cap on the red carpet, the beauty mogul has built a reputation for bold glam – and also for occasionally missing the theme entirely.
She made her Met Gala debut in 2016 in a heavily embellished silver gown by Balmain.
The futuristic look, complete with a blunt bob wig, instantly put her on the fashion map.
Fans praised the bold entrance, though some questioned whether the edgy look felt too mature at the time.
In 2017, Kylie stepped out in a sheer, feathered gown by Versace for the avant-garde Comme des Garçons-inspired theme.
Kylie returned in 2018 just months after welcoming her daughter, Stormi, wearing a sleek black gown by Alexander Wang.
The moment grabbed headlines – but not everyone was impressed.
Fans applauded her confidence, while others slammed the outfit as “underwhelming” and off-theme for the religious-inspired night.
Her 2019 look remains one of her most iconic.
Kylie stunned in a lavender feathered gown by Versace, complete with a matching purple wig, fully embracing the “camp” theme.
Fans were overall obsessed, with many still ranking it as her best-ever Met Gala moment.
After a three-year hiatus, Kylie returned in 2022 in a white bridal-inspired gown by Off-White as a tribute to the late designer, Virgil Abloh.
However, it was her backwards baseball cap that stole the spotlight.
The unexpected accessory sparked backlash online, with critics calling the look confusing and “disrespectful” to the theme – though others defended the sentimental tribute.
In 2023, Kylie opted for a more refined look in a red gown by Jean Paul Gaultier honoring Karl Lagerfeld.
Kylie leaned into romance at the 2024 gala with a sculptural, corseted gown featuring floral accents.
The feminine look was well received, though some critics said it lacked the wow factor of her earlier appearances.
In 2025, Kylie returned in a sheer, corseted design that highlighted her signature hourglass shape.
Fans praised the fit – but others complained the style felt repetitive of her past red carpet choices.
LENA Mahfouf nearly bared all in a shocking Met Gala look that sent cameras flashing.
The French star appeared to go braless in a daring gown as she stepped out for fashion’s biggest night.
Mahfouf is wearing a daring Burc Akyol look for the 2026 Met Gala.
Her outfit leans fully into the night’s dress code, “Fashion Is Art,” which reflects the ethos of the “Costume Art” theme.
The theme explores the “centrality of the dressed body” through depictions and interpretations of the human form in the Met’s collection.
Her gown featured a sculpted metallic bodice shaped like two silver hands across her chest.

The daring top left her shoulders, stomach, and back exposed.
She paired it with a pale blue draped skirt that sat low on her hips.
The skirt featured thin side straps and high cutouts, creating a barely-there effect as she posed.
Photos showed Léna leaving The Mark Hotel before heading to the high-profile event.
The hotel is one of the main celebrity hotspots before stars make their way to the Met steps.
The outfit appeared to create a near-naked effect as she posed ahead of the gala.

MAROON 5’s Adam Levine has shown off a fresh faced new look on the red carpet ahead of the band’s gig at BST Hyde Park this Summer.
The singer, 47, attended the 12th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in Santa Monica, California, over the weekend with his wife Behati Prinsloo.
But the musician looked completely unrecognisable as he showed off a clean shaven look, which is a stark difference compared to his signature stubble he’s been rocking for years.
Adam wore a black suit twinned with a blue shirt and smart shoes, while Behati, 37, looked stunning in a ruffled grey gown.
The pair looked like the ultimate couple goals as Adam planted a kiss on his wife’s cheek in one picture.
Fans of the She Will Be Loved singer couldn’t get over his new look as they flocked to social media to share their thoughts, with many thinking him shaving off his beard isn’t the only change he’s made.

One person commented on Reddit: “If I saw him walking I would have never guessed it was him.”
Another social media user commented: “Whatever he did makes him look awful and waaay older than he did before.”
Somebody else said: “Oh my gosh what happened to him? He looks so naked without his beard.”
Yet another fan expressed: “Something looks off but I can’t tell what exactly.”
While a fifth added: “Did he get something done? His face looks different.”
Adam began dating the Namibian beauty in May 2012 and they went on to marry on July 19, 2014.
Together, they share daughters Dusty Rose, 9, and Gio Grace, 8 and a three-year-old son.
He’s gearing up to return to the UK with Maroon 5 for BST Hyde Park this July.
They won’t be the only ones appearing at the festival, as One Republic, Jess Glynne and Ella Eyre will also be taking to the stage for their own performances.
It was also recently announced that he’s set to return for the new season of The Voice USA.
He joined the singing competition show in season 1 alongside fellow judges Blake Shelton, CeeLo Green, and Christina Aguilera.
After departing The Voice in 2019 with 16 seasons as a coach under is belt, the Maroon 5 frontman has returned sporadically to the show.
He just clinched a win with Alexia Jayy on season 29, his fourth victory on the show.
“I’m having so much fun doing it. Since I came back a few seasons ago it’s just been a blast and I’m super happy to keep it going as long as they’ll have me,” Adam told People.
NBC execs are eyeing four iconic coaches to make a return for season 30: Adam, Kelly, Blake and Gwen Stefani, a production source told The U.S. Sun.
“For season 30, they want to go big since it will be a milestone year. Though the lineup isn’t finalized yet since filming for 30 won’t start until late Spring/early Summer 2026,” the source said.
“There’s still time for changes and still all of season 29 to get through.
“But the producers are trying to lock in a deal to get Blake and Adam back together, they’ve wanted that for years and think 30 is an opportune time to make it happen,” the insider explained.
The stars of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” thrilled us with their bold fashion choices at the film’s world premiere in New York City on Monday night, the most recent stop in a press tour that began at the end of March. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt brought their A game, embracing method dressing without going overboard. Even Miranda Priestly would be proud.
While the film dons Prada’s name, Schiaparelli was among the go-to designers for the promo tour. From custom numbers to archival pieces, cast members, new and old, impressed in gowns that deserved center spreads in Runway. And there were no florals in sight.

Styled by sisters Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo, Lady Gaga donned a black Saint Laurent gown from the fashion house’s fall 2016 collection. But Gaga really turned heads with her sparkling 7-carat earrings designed by Tiffany & Co.
Gaga has a cameo in the film, which director David Frankel told Vanity Fair was the “the worst-kept secret in showbiz.” The entertainer also wrote and recorded “Runway” with rapper Doechii for the sequel’s soundtrack.

Emily Blunt wore a dress from the Schiaparelli spring 2026 line. The dress’ structured bodice gave way into tulle skirt, with the fabric’s warm tone contrasting Blunt’s dark red lip. The bustier was covered in 25,000 silk thread feathers, which required roughly 4,000 hours of work.

DESPITE winning dream roles, Anya Taylor-Joy admits her real wish is to retreat from Hollywood and live on a farm.
The 29-year-old is one of the world’s best-known actresses but has spent years feeling nervous on the red carpet, struggled to watch her award-winning performances and now wants calm.
She voices love interest Princess Peach in the new Super Mario Galaxy movie, which is released on April 1.
But Anya described her ideal life as “on a farm”.
She said: “I want goats, chickens, ducks, horses — all of it. I want to work, come into the city when I want to, then disappear and ride all day.”
The film is the follow-up to 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which grossed more than £1billion worldwide.
Princess Peach is the main female character and head of state of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Anya said: “I was so touched by how strong she is and how cool. The fact that’s going to be a role model kids can have nowadays is unbelievable. I left feeling very inspired by her.”
Anya knows all too well that life can be difficult as a child.
She was born in Florida, then lived in Argentina for five years where she rode horses in the idyllic countryside.
Her African-Spanish mum, a psychologist, and Scottish-Argentine dad, who raced powerboats, then moved the family to London when she was six — and things became dramatically different.
Anya was bullied, “locked in lockers, barred from classrooms, not invited to things” and did not speak English.
Watching films helped her navigate through the traumas.
She told the Happy Sad Confused podcast: “I’ve never been good at being cool, this is why I didn’t get along well with people in school.
“If I like something, I love it and it just pours out of me.
“But if I was sad, like if my hamster died, my parents could put me in front of a movie and I would feel better at the end of it.
“I could get lost in something like that.”
It was her love of movies that eventually helped her learn English.
She says: “I learned English when I was eight. I stuck it out for two years in London, refusing to speak English because I wanted to go home. Then eventually I was like, ‘I have no friends, this is going to be a needed skill’.”
Anya told her parents she was going to be an actress.
But first, after being “picked up” outside Harrods, she became a model at 16.
She was recruited by Sarah Doukas, boss of Storm model agency, who had discovered Kate Moss.
But at first Anya thought she was a stalker.
She said: “It was absurd. A black car comes up, starts chasing me. I pick up my dog, start running and a head comes out of the window and they say, ‘If you stop, you won’t regret it,’ and I stop.
“It was the head of a modelling agency. I don’t encourage other people to do this.
“I had no idea what I was doing, but luckily it worked out and my parents came with me the next day to the modelling agency.”
Her parents always supported her. Anya said: “They’d had six kids, so were like, ‘Oh, just do whatever you’re going to do’.
“I’m so grateful for the approach my parents have had because I did some pretty ballsy things in my teenage years and luckily they paid off, but they were always supportive.”
She did many auditions before getting her breakthrough role at 19 in film The Witch.
Anya said: “I thought that audition went so badly. I truly thought I had messed that up massively because I had a huge panic attack before I went into it, and luckily that really worked for the scene.”
It was then that Anya found where she truly belonged.
She said: “Going into work every single day felt like such a joy.
“I could breathe because I’d found a place where I was doing something I loved, with people who didn’t think I was a psychopath. And I could have fun with it. I loved every second of making that movie.”
She found it “mind blowing” that The Witch was a hit and forced herself to watch the performance.
Anya said: “It’s like getting hit by a bus. I personally don’t agree with not watching your films, it’s not all about you. It’s a whole bunch of other people who have done a lot of work and different departments that you have to go and support, because they deserve it and you love them. So I have to watch it.
“But the first time, I always feel I’ve let people down and I’m always like, ‘Oh, I messed it up’.
“Then I process it and the second time I watch it, it’s slightly more palatable and I’m able to lose myself a bit more.
“By the third time I’m just like, ‘OK, whatever’. You just have to get over yourself and applaud the people you care about that worked with you.”
Anya became a household name in 2020 after starring in Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit, which led to a Golden Globe for Best Actress.
She went on to roles in horror film Last Night In Soho, black comedy The Menu and the apocalyptic film Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Anya said she works “very hard, very gratefully hard” because she feels lucky to do a job she feels passionate about.
But it is not always easy. Despite her modelling background, Anya struggles with the limelight.
She said: “When I first started doing red carpets, I couldn’t handle the notion of being pretty.
“I was like, ‘I don’t do that’. I am a scummy, mud-caked ferret and striving for anything different felt disingenuous and scary.”
She has even been known to dress up “like an East Berlin spy” at times so nobody recognises her.
Now she is trying to make time for some balance in her life.
She said: “I’ve been living on film sets for five years and, occasionally, I think it would be nice to find out what Anya would do with three months if she wasn’t playing another person.
“So I’m trying to be more careful with my time there.
“You spend 18 hours a day thinking, behaving and breathing as another human being. That doesn’t leave a lot of time to figure out what it is that you like.”
And the person she wants to spend it with is her husband, US musician Malcolm McRae, who she married in 2021.
The couple split their time between homes in the Hollywood Hills and London.
She said: “I’ve finally found someone who will happily sit in silence with me, reading. We’re basically 80 years old and seven at the same time, and it works really well.
“When you are together, you are really valuing the time you have. Everyday, mundane activities are so full of joy.
“I love going to the petrol station with him and filling up the car and going to get breakfast.”
But right now, her focus is all on Princess Peach.
Anya told US Today: “She wants to find out where she comes from and is on a quest for adventure and prioritising herself a little bit more.”
Princess Peach sounds very much like the actress playing her.
Hollywood’s biggest night is here, along with the biggest red carpet of awards season.
Not only is it massive in size — it takes about 2,400 hours and more than 400 workers to assemble the 25,000-square-foot red carpet, measuring 900 feet long and 60 feet wide — but enormous in influence. It boasts the most memorable, stylish and extravagant fashion in entertainment history. In fact, stars have been taking cues from Hollywood history at precursor awards shows. Old Hollywood glamour dominated January’s Golden Globes. And the Actor Awards, held two weeks ago, were themed “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour from the ‘20s and ‘30s.” So the Oscars red carpet may also pay homage to La La Land.
Lead and supporting actress nominees Jessie Buckley, Kate Hudson, Emma Stone, Elle Fanning, Wunmi Mosaku and Teyana Taylor have already won in the style department and are sure to impress yet again. All eyes will also be on dapper actors Michael B. Jordan, Timothee Chalamet, Delroy Lindo and Jacob Elordi.
Here’s the best fashion from the 2026 Oscars, captured from every angle by The Times’ photo team. After the carpet wraps, the 98th Academy Awards will air live from the Dolby Theatre on ABC starting at 4 p.m.

MAURA Higgins continued her American takeover as she ditched her underwear for a daring red carpet look.
The former Love Island star, 33, turned heads in a stunning plunging cut-out gown, posing for cameras at a swanky fashion bash.
The TV star posed alongside model Brooks Nader and TikTok star Dixie D’Amelio in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Maura looked every inch the Hollywood star as she arrived at Vanity Fair’s The 2026 Vanities Party: A Night For Young Hollywood.
The Irish beauty flashed plenty of skin in the bold, black velvet and mesh Black Swan-inspired ensemble.
Maura was spotted at the event with Sports Illustrated model Brooks, 28, and social media sensation Dixie, 22.
The trio mingled with guests at the star-studded bash.
It’s just the latest in a string of swanky events where the Irish former Love Island star has been making serious waves Stateside.
Maura is currently starring in The Traitors US alongside Lisa Rinna, best known for The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
Last week millions of viewers watched the Love Island 2019 contestant make it to the final as a Faithful before the grand finale next week.
The show may not have aired in the UK yet, but Maura’s sharp sense of humour has already made her a fan favourite in the States.
It was that same quick wit that made her hugely popular on Love Island, before she won over viewers again during her stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
After filming wrapped on the US series at Ardross Castle in Scotland last June, Maura walked away feeling confident she had smashed it, according to pals.
Traitors US began on January 8 and attracted 638 million viewing minutes which proved a streaming record for the show, now on its fourth series.
Viewers have noted the chemistry between Maura and 27-year-old Love Island USA star Rob Rausch.
Maura was asked about their relationship when she appeared on US talk show Watch What Happens Live recently.
Host Andy Cohen told her: “The internet wants you and Rob to get together.”
Rob certainly showed his appreciation for the Irish star by gifting her a £17,000 Hermès Birkin bag.
A credit to her rising popularity, Maura has now signed up with top-tier agency Align PR, whose clients include Madonna and Hollywood stars Matthew McConaughey and Bryce Dallas Howard.
In March last year, the star revealed that she had been invited to lunch with Margot Robbie.
The actress is a huge Love Island fan and previously described Maura as one of her favourite contestants.
Maura wrote on Instagram: “When Margot Robbie invites you to lunch . . . you go.”
Meanwhile back home, the Love Island favourite has also just bagged a six-figure deal with Victoria’s Secret.
