Celebrities flocked to New York City over the weekend, gearing up for Monday’s Met Gala, an annual highlight in the fashion calendar. Among those spotted arriving were Miley Cyrus and Sabrina Carpenter, whose appearances generated considerable attention in the lead-up to the prestigious event.

Miley Cyrus, the 32-year-old former star of “Hannah Montana,” showcased a casual yet stylish look, donning a black bomber jacket paired with sleek black sunglasses and light-wash jeans. Her honey-highlighted hair was worn straight, with face-framing bangs adding to her effortlessly cool vibe.

The 2025 Met Gala is set to occur on May 5, themed “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” with a dress code of “Tailored for You.” This year’s gala theme draws inspiration from the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, which shines a spotlight on Black dandyism, celebrated for its stylish elegance and cultural significance.

Co-chairs for this year’s event include distinguished figures from various fields: actor Colman Domingo, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, rapper A$AP Rocky, and musician Pharrell Williams, the men’s creative director at Louis Vuitton. In addition, NBA superstar LeBron James will serve as an honorary chair for the occasion. Approximately 600 guests are expected, with notable athletes such as Simone Biles and Sha’Carri Richardson anticipated to grace the event, although the full guest list remains under wraps, as is customary.
