The 2025 Met Gala didn't disappoint when it came to outstanding fashion on this year's blue carpet.

This year's dress code was "tailored for you," in conjunction with the Met's Spring exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, inspired by Monica L Miller's book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.

Many A-list celebrities delivered when it came to showing off their menswear-inspired ensembles, including Madonna, who accessorized with a cigar, but there were many moments you may have missed because of the runway-worthy fashion.

From Rihanna's third pregnancy reveal to Kim Kardashian scolding a security guard, take a look at some of the biggest moments you may have missed at the 2025 Met Gala.
