It may just be another Monday to some people, but the first Monday in May is basically a holiday for pop culture buffs, fashion fiends, and dedicated stans. The Met Gala is one of the biggest (if not thee biggest) red carpet a celeb could walk, as the coveted charity event takes place on the steps of New York’s iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Upper East Side. As for this year’s theme? That’d be “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which Vogue says is meant to celebrate the history and influence of dandyism and Black identity. Some of the A-listers that will reportedly be in attendance include Doechii, Chappell Roan, Miley Cyrus, Hailey Bieber, Rihanna, The Weeknd, and Timothée Chalamet. These are only a few of the names buzzing around online, so we’re fully seated for the looks they’re going to pull.

That being said! We can’t miss a moment of the major fashion event, especially with some of these stars making their Met Gala debuts. Here’s how to watch the 2025 Met Gala (thank us later).

How can I watch the 2025 Met Gala red carpet for free? And when does the Met Gala red carpet start?

Head right to Vogue’s official live stream! The Met Gala streams across all Vogue’s digital platforms (aka their website, X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube) beginning at 6 p.m. EST.

Of course, E! is also airing its own red carpet special, also starting at 6 p.m. EST. Zanna Roberts Rassi, Maria Taylor, Elaine Welteroth, Yvonne Orji, and Christian Siriano are hosting the three-and-a-half-hour, which will also include inside peeks of celeb attendees at The Mark Hotel, The Carlyle Hotel, and The Pierre Hotel.

Who is hosting the 2025 Met Gala?

Fabulous Q! Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, and Lebron James are this year’s co-chairs alongside Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour.

Who are Vogue’s red carpet correspondents?

Let’s be real: Vogue’s red carpet correspondents make the carpet that much more fun, especially since celebs like Keke Palmer, Ilana Glazer, and Emma Chamberlain have been assigned the task at past Met Galas. This year, La La Anthony, Teyana Taylor, and Ego Nwodim are hosting the mag’s official live stream.
