The 2025 Met Gala is fast approaching, and the excitement is palpable as we eagerly anticipate every little detail. As always, speculation surrounding the guest list is just as thrilling as the event itself. While the official roster is kept secret until the last moment, several big names have already been linked to this year’s celebration.
Kicking things off with some music legends, Shakira, Lizzo, and Mary J. Blige are reportedly confirmed to attend and make their mark on the red carpet. Joining these iconic women will be familiar supermodels such as Ashley Graham, Gigi Hadid, Naomi Campbell, Kendall Jenner, Amelia Gray, and Rihanna who are known for turning heads at such glamorous affairs.
This year’s host committee promises to be equally star-studded, featuring a mix of musicians, athletes, and cultural figures. Among the rumored committee members are Tyla, Doechii, André 3000, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Simone Biles, Jonathan Owens, and more. Co-chairs for the event include big names like Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, A$AP Rocky, and LeBron James.
In another interesting twist, athletes seem to have a prominent spot on this year’s guest list. College basketball sensation Paige Bueckers is among those expected to join the festivities, further highlighting the event’s unique blend of fashion, sports, and entertainment.
Of course, every Met Gala season brings its own set of "no-shows," and this year is no different. Rachel Zegler, known for her role in Snow White, won’t be attending. The reason seems to be her commitment to rehearsals for Evita in London, though her absence coincides with some social media controversy.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds also won’t be making an appearance, reportedly due to the ongoing legal situation involving actor Justin Baldoni. In an unexpected turn, supermodel Gisele Bündchen is said to have turned down her invitation altogether.
With so many exciting stars likely to be in attendance, it’s safe to say that the 2025 Met Gala is shaping up to be another unforgettable night of fashion and celebrity.
