As the fashion world gears up for its most glamorous evening, anticipation is reaching a fever pitch for the Met Gala 2025, taking place on May 5 at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, pays tribute to the legacy of Black sartorial elegance, with a particular nod to Monica L. Miller’s influential book Slaves to Fashion. As always, the guest list is top secret, but early leaks and insider reports have offered a tantalising look at who may be attending.
Celebs Attending Met Gala 2025
One of the biggest surprises comes from Bollywood: Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly set to make his Met Gala debut, dressed by Indian couture maestro Sabyasachi. The speculation, sparked by an Instagram post from fashion watchdog Diet Sabya, suggests the superstar will be the first Indian male actor to walk the iconic Met steps. It’s a significant milestone in global representation at the event. Adding to the desi glam, mom-to-be Kiara Advani is also rumoured to appear, hinting at another memorable maternity fashion moment on the red carpet.
Hollywood, of course, is expected to turn out in full force. Zendaya, a long-time Met Gala favourite known for her bold fashion narratives, is anticipated to attend under Cartier’s banner. Joining her are fellow fashion-forward stars like Hunter Schafer, Suki Waterhouse, and Jaden Smith. NFL quarterback Joe Burrow and Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding are also part of the buzz.
The guest list, if the reports are to be believed, will blend film, fashion, and music seamlessly. Nicole Kidman, Zoë Saldaña, and indie darling Monica Barbaro are all rumoured to walk, while model Ugbad Abdi and pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter (possibly dressed by Louis Vuitton) are expected to add their own flair to the evening. Vogue regular Emma Chamberlain and cult fashion icon Natasha Lyonne are also said to be attending.
