While we know you were watching to see what your favorite Black stars were wearing last night, here’s how some white stars showed up on the 2025 Met Gala blue carpet.

Nicole Kidman played it safe with this black corset dress that would work on any red carpet. We’re glad she chose to keep it simple with this silhouette and tailoring that is perfectly on point. And we love the new haircut!
