“We definitely go together real bad!” Diddy told La La Anthony at the event. “She’s my date for the night. … We don’t put titles on it. Everybody wants us to put a title on it, we don’t put titles. This like my best friend in the world, one of the most beautiful people God has blessed me with. And I’m blessed that she’s my date tonight.” Miami agreed, “Yeah, it’s just a good date night.”

The comments come after Miami previously admitted that the two broke up during an interview with The Cut. “We’re still friends! We’re still good friends!” she said at the time. “But we’re single. That’s not my man. We had our own situation. I’m not gonna put a title on it. We were fucking with each other hard. We were together every day at one point. He supported me, I supported him. I’ll let the internet call it whatever they want to call it.”

While Yung Miami and Diddy attended the event together, they weren’t the only exes to reunite during the night. Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson also bumped into one another, although it wasn’t a date for the two.

Bad Bunny’s Backless Jacquemus Suit For The Met Gala Had Fans Loving The Creative Floral Train

Bad Bunny was a strong contender for best dressed at last night’s 2023 Met Gala. As he stepped onto the red carpet, his backless custom white suit had a creative spin as he was joined by a 26-foot train of florals designed by Simon Porte Jacquemus — who chose Benito as his guest.

The event’s theme, Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty, crossed over into Bad Bunny’s outfit, as flowers were a significant part of Lagerfeld’s designs. The backless choice also pulled inspiration from a Chanel No. 5 ad from 2005 that starred Nicole Kidman.

“Bad Bunny is my favorite artist, it’s a dream to dress him for my first Met Gala,” Jacquemus told Vogue. “I was so inspired by him, he is the ultimate Jacquemus muse.”

He continued, speaking about the backless nod to the ad, “I was obsessed with it and asked my best friend to record it for me, to watch it in my bedroom over and over. I was just a kid and this dress and long train stayed in my mind forever.”

By the time photos of Bad Bunny’s suit and train surfaced online, social media users were loving that it wasn’t just a simple black suit — which has become a common joke about male attendees doing the bare minimum.

“A man with a train!!!!! OBSESSED,” one user wrote.

Why Did Doja Cat Only Meow At The Met Gala 2023?

Doja Cat turned heads last night (May 1) while walking the red carpet of the 2023 Met Gala. Dressed in Oscar de la Renta, the “Kill Bill” rapper took a unique approach to the evening’s theme of Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty. Instead of opting for a black-and-white look, one of the signature fashion trends the late designer was known for, the musician stepped into the role of glamour kitty.

Paying homage to the Lagerfield’s beloved cat, Choupette, Doja sported facial prosthetics to appear more feline-like. But her transformation didn’t stop there. While walking the red carpet, Doja fully embodied her animal muse down to the “language.” When stopped by Vogue correspondent Emma Chamberlain, Doja responded to all questions posed with multilayered meows.

But why did Doja Cat only meow at the Met Gala? Based on the entertainer’s past actions, she was just having a good laugh at the public’s expense. In fact, she wasn’t the only one to only meow on the red carpet: Lil Nas X did as well.

Trolling the public is something Doja Cat thrives at. For one recent example, just look at her Paris Haute Couture Week eyelash mustache look. Doja Cat’s first viral moment was the songwriter dressed as a cow for her 2018 song “MOOO!” Why not elevate that by dressing as a high-fashion cat?

Yesterday, as part of the biggest night for fashion, Doja Cat appeared at the 2023 Met Gala, paying tribute to the theme, Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty, in a unique way.

Fitting to her stage name, Doja dressed as Lagerfeld’s cat, Choupette, but with a high-quality spin. (Unlike others, who simply chose to just wear a giant cat suit.) Doja’s sparkly dress had a hood with cat ears. She also had some special effects makeup on that turned her into the animal. Because of this, she committed fully to the bit on the red carpet.

In a currently viral interview with Emma Chamberlain, a YouTuber who was talking to the other guests, Doja decided to answer in a way that only she could.

“I mean, wait, so who made it?” Chamberlain asks about the dress. Doja replies with a simple answer, “Meow.”

To every question, she makes a similar sound. “Wow, OK. So, something a little different,” Chamberlain responds as Doja nods.

“What was your inspiration for tonight? And be honest with me. Go into detail,” the interview continues. This time, Doja answers with a few different meows, in place of an actual answer. Sadly, as most of us don’t speak cat, we won’t be able to know for sure what she actually was saying. Or thinking.

Check out Doja being a cat above. Below, find some more reactions to the hilarious and unique interview.

Nicki Minaj Pays Tribute To Karl Lagerfeld After Skipping 2023 Met Gala

by

After seeing her make a bold return to the red carpet dressed by Riccardo Tisci’s Burberry in 2022, The Barbz were hopeful that Nicki Minaj would be in attendance at this year’s Met Gala. Several of our favourite rap divas stepped out for the special occasion, including Ice Spice and Yung Miami, as well as Cardi B. Rihanna was at the function too, arriving fashionably late, as she and A$AP Rocky have previously become known to do. Anna Wintour’s theme of choice was a tribute to her late friend Karl Lagerfeld, and while Minaj wasn’t at the Met last night, she did share some of her fond memories with the fallen fashion icon on Instagram.

“I set trends from Queens to Beijing 🇨🇳,” the mother of one wrote in the caption of her photo dump, which begins with a throwback photo from an ELLE Magazine photoshoot with Lagerfeld. “I’m not the one who do the imitating,” Minaj added before revealing that she’s got a music video dropping on Tuesday (May 2) for “Alone” at 4 PM ET. Her other carousel selections chiefly include more snapshots with the Chanel designer, proving that they forged a heartwarming friendship in the later years of his life.

Minaj also made sure to remind followers of some of her past iconic outfits, proving that she’s always been a style star – Met Gala invite or not. While some of them found her leaning into her masculine side in a unique tuxedo, others flaunted her famous (ass)ets as she sultrily gazes back at the camera. She’s not often one to keep up with what everyone else is wearing, instead choosing to influence the world with her unique choices.

It remains unclear if the Trinidadian simply opted to skip out on showing up (as many celebrities, including Beyoncé, seemingly did), or if she was one of the names cut from Wintour’s uber-exclusive guest list. Regardless, she’s sure to continue serving us plenty of fire looks on her social media as the weather continues to heat up. Scroll further to see Nicki Minaj’s iconic outfits from past Met Galas. Afterward, leave a comment letting us know which one is your personal favourite below.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson bumped into each other at the 2023 Met Gala, a year after attending the event as a couple. In pictures from the star-studded event, the two were spotted catching up with Usher after walking the red carpet.

Davidson rocked a Fendi T-shirt under a trench coat with leather pants while Kardashian sported a corseted Schiaparelli dress. During their appearance together in 2022, Kardashian turned heads by wearing Marilyn Monroe’s iconic gown.

Davidson and Kardashian dated for nine months after meeting on the set of Saturday Night Live in October 2021, while Davidson still starred on the show. The two eventually split up in August 2022, although sources for the NY Post and other outlets stated that they were still friendly. “They have a lot of love and respect for each other, but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship,” an insider told the NY Post said. They added that their age difference also played into the split, explaining that Davidson “is totally spontaneous and impulsive and wants her to fly to New York, or wherever he is on a moment’s notice.” Kardashian, on the other hand, “has four kids and it isn’t that easy. She needs to focus on the kids.”

Since breaking up, Davidson is now dating his Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star, Chase Sui Wonders. On the other hand, Kardashian appears to still be single. Davidson will be returning to Saturday Night Live, later this month, as a host of the show where he met Kardashian.

Vogue described the set, “Opening with an interlude from Mozart’s The Magic Flute — because what is a Lizzo show without her trusty flute? — she moved on to an instrumental [version] of ‘Truth Hurts’ and high-energy renditions of ‘Cuz I Love You’ and ‘Good As Hell.’ Then, it was a spirited duet of ‘Flight Of The Bumble Bee’ with the esteemed Irish flute player Sir James Galway — and, to close out the night, performances of ‘Juice’ and ‘About Damn Time.’”

Rihanna Showed Up To The 2023 Met Gala Super Late, Which Anna Wintour Recently Said Is OK Specifically For Her

Yesterday (May 1) was huge for people who like to watch celebrities walk in unusual clothes and pose for photos: The 2023 Met Gala went down last night. There were a ton of strong music looks on the red carpet, including Rihanna, even if she was pretty late.

Vanity Fair noted that Rihanna showed up to the event “well after the official close of the red carpet” and she and ASAP Rocky were the final arrivals. She made it count, though: Harper’s Bazaar described Rihanna’s look, “She wore a dramatic white Maison Valentino gown with a long, sweeping train. Plus, she wore a structured ivory top covered in rosettes, which completely engulfed her torso and head. She finished the look off with opera-length fingerless gloves and a pair of white sunglasses with attached faux eyelashes.”

This comes after a Vogue “73 Questions” interview with Anna Wintour from this past September, where Wintour said specifically that Rihanna is allowed to show up late to the Met Gala.

On the red carpet, Rihanna stopped for a chat with Entertainment Tonight‘s Rachel Smith, during which she spoke about her second pregnancy is going: “It’s so different from the first one! Just everything. All of my… no cravings, tons of nausea, everything’s different. But I’m enjoying it, I’m enjoying it. I feel good. I feel energetic.”

Smith then asked about Rihanna’s next album and the singer playfully dodged the question, answering, “You back it it! You not gonna leave me… you know what? When I’m ready, I’m coming straight to you first. I have to.”

Diddy and City Girls’ Yung Miami stunned arriving at the 2023 Met Gala together. When walking the stairs of the stories museum, the duo was asked the question we all were thinking by La La Anthony: “Do y’all officially go together real bad?”

After sidestepping the question, Diddy circled back with an answer. “We definitely go together real bad,” Diddy said.

He added, “She’s my date for the night. We don’t put titles on it. Everybody wants us to put a title on it, we don’t put titles. This like my best friend in the world, one of the most beautiful people God has blessed me with. And I’m blessed that she’s my date tonight.”

Just last week, Yung Miami provided insight on her romance with Diddy. The City Girls rapper is the subject of a new feature in The Cut, where she details the conclusion of her romance with the Bad Boy mogul. Speaking on the relationship, she says, “We’re still friends! We’re still good friends! But we’re single.”

Going in deeper, Miami said, “That’s not my man. We had our own situation, I’m not gonna put a title on it. We were f–king with each other hard. We were together every day at one point. He supported me, I supported him. I’ll let the internet call it whatever they want to call it.”

You can read the full feature here and hear the update from Diddy below.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs attended the 2023 Met Gala sporting a custom-made Sean John suit and cape that he and June Ambrose created together and were all inspired by Karl Lagerfeld.

The end result was a stylish, cutting-edge black motorbike tuxedo that perfectly merged the traditional aspects of Sean John with Lagerfeld’s renowned design. It was expertly made and included detailed details. The tuxedo, made of wool and rayon, paid homage to Chanel and Lagerfeld’s lasting use of this beautiful detail by showcasing 600 8mm Swarovski crystals and black pearls. Karl Lagerfeld carried on Coco Chanel’s tradition of praising the pearl as a timeless symbol by including pearls in each collection.

Combs enhanced the look with a dramatic taffeta puffer cloak with “Puffy” features that paid homage to Sean John’s famous puffer coats and symbolized the energy of hip-hop, puffer, and music videos. As an homage to Lagerfeld’s love of the camellia, over 1000 bespoke camellia blooms made of satin and velvet petals decorated the cape and suit. Combs finished the look with classic Lagerfeld pieces in black like pointed boots, finger gloves, and sunglasses.

Combs honored Lagerfeld’s creative and audacious attitude by reinventing the motorcycle jacket for his look, creating a mesmerizing fusion of traditional elegance and modern flair. Diddy previewed the look on Instagram.

Combs’ own CÎROC Vodka and DeLeón Tequila were incorporated in the event to provide attendees the best possible experience.
