Maluma walked the 2025 Met Gala carpet with his designer friend, Willy Chavarría, who was behind the artist’s statement-making fit on Monday (May 5).

The Colombian artist arrived in a custom floral long blazer that went past his knees, matching wide-leg dress pants, and a black hat with pink roses, making a cultural statement that paid tribute to Pachucos and their zoot suit.

“The Pachuco as we know is the quintessential dandy from the 30s and 40s representing Latinos and black, who dressed as a form of resistance and beauty. I hope to have encapsulated that,” Chavarría said to Women’s Wear Daily.

Maluma was one of many Latin acts who stunned at the gala including Bad Bunny, Shakira, J Balvin, and Rosalía.

Held at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, this year’s Met Gala celebrated the theme of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. The official dress code is “Tailored for You,” a nod to the spring 2025 exhibition’s focus on menswear and is “purposefully designed to provide guidance and invite creative interpretation,” according to Vogue.

Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton served as co-chairs, while LeBron James served as honorary chair. Tyla, Doechii, André 3000, Usher, Janelle Monáe and more also served as members of the costume institute benefit host committee. Other artists who attended the Met Gala 2025 were Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, LISA, Diana Ross, JENNIE and Dua Lipa.

More than five years since his last show, David Lee Roth has not only made a triumphant return, but reversed his decision to retire from the touring circuit.

Roth announced his 2025 tour plans on Monday (May 6), with a series of 21 live appearances set to take place over the summer.

Launching at the California Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles on July 22, Roth will traverse the country until wrapping up his series of shows on Sept. 14 back in California at Napa’s Blue Note Summer Sessions.

Roth’s tour announcement comes just days after he made his first appearance on the live stage in five years on Saturday (May 3) at the M3 Rock Festival at Maryland’s Merriweather Post Pavilion. The 16-song set featured Roth leaning entirely on his tenure as frontman for Van Halen, save for a cover of The Kinks’ “You Really Got Me,” which was issued as Van Halen’s debut single in 1978.

The show was his first since March 2020 when he appeared as the opening act for KISS in Lubbock, Texas as part of their End of the Road Tour.

In early 2021, Roth announced that he would be officially retiring following a residency at Las Vegas’ House of Blues at Mandalay Bay in 2022. “I am throwing in the shoes. I’m retiring,” Roth said. “This is the first, and only, official announcement. You’ve got the news. Share it with the world.”

“I’m not going to explain the statement,” he added. “The explanation is in a safe. These are my last five shows.” Ultimately, Roth’s Las Vegas residency would be cancelled, ostensibly leaving him with unfinished business until his return to the stage this month.

Roth first rose to fame as the vocalist for Van Halen from 1974 until 1985, appearing on their first six records before embarking on a solo career. Roth would be replaced by Sammy Hagar, though would return for a one-off appearance in 1996 before Gary Cherone took over vocal duties. 

Following another brief stint from Hagar up the front from 2003 until 2005, Roth resumed his role in the band from 2007 until the band’s dissolution in 2020 following the death of Eddie Van Halen.

Rosalía arrived to the 2025 Met Gala carpet in a tight-fitted, long white gown that perfectly accentuated her curves—a look that was fully-inspired by a mannequin.

“It was made to measure. I wanted to start with the mannequin, that’s the base for every suit,” designer Olivier Rousteing said to Vogue about dressing Roslía. “Obviously, she’s iconic, she’s a friend, she’s someone that I love. She’s a muse, she’s inspiration, so I wanted to go to the beginning of the creation, which is [the] mannequin.”

“First time I feel like a mannequin, I love that, and to honor Olivier Rousteing’s talent,” the Spanish singer-songwriter expressed.

The singer also shared her excitement about working on Euphoria. “I’m learning, figuring it out. I’m trying to not forget my line,” she laughed. “It’s been really inspiring to be besides these amazing actors and actresses. I’m having fun, trying to play around, and improvise.”

After Rihanna revealed ahead of Monday night’s (May 5) 2025 Met Gala that she was pregnant with her third child, expectant father A$AP Rocky was beaming with pride to reporters on the event’s red carpet.

“It feels amazing, you know?” the rapper said of letting the world in on their good news, as seen in an Associated Press video. “We were tired of holding that, and it was time to show the people what we was cooking up. I’m glad everybody’s happy for us, because we’re definitely happy.”

When asked how it feels to be getting so much love from fans around the reveal, Rocky said: “That’s amazing. Honestly, it’s a blessing nonetheless because you know how some people in other situations at times can be envious of other people, but we’ve been seeing love for the most part. We’re real receptive to that. We appreciate that, you know what I mean? That’s love. Love is love.”

Rihanna and Rocky share two sons together, RZA Athelston Mayers, who turns 3 years old this month, and 1-year-old Riot Rose Mayers. Her first pregnancy reveal was her most low-key, when she and Rocky confirmed they were expecting by taking a stroll through New York City with Rihanna’s bare baby bump on display. Her second pregnancy reveal came on the biggest stage there is, when she headlined the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show wearing an unzipped bodysuit to show off her growing baby bump.

She went major again with No. 3, choosing fashion’s biggest night, the Met Gala, for the reveal. Following early photos of Rihanna making her way to the Met, she closed out the night’s red carpet just before 10 p.m. ET, wearing a menswear-inspired look topped off with a slouchy, wide-brimmed black hat.

With just two months to go until Black Sabbath perform their final-ever live show, founding bassist Geezer Butler has admitted to some intense anxieties ahead of the gig.

The band’s final performance will take place as part of the Back to the Beginning concert, which takes place in Birmingham, England on July 5. The event will see the band’s classic line-up – comprising frontman Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Butler and drummer Bill Ward – play live together for the first time in two decades, while the likes of Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Alice in Chains, and myriad others also join the bill.

While Osbourne hasn’t performed a full set since Dec. 31, 2018 – two months before his diagnosis of Parkinson’s – he’s previously tempered expectations for the upcoming gig, noting he isn’t “planning on doing a set with Black Sabbath,” but rather “little bits and pieces” with the group. “I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable,” he explained. 

Speaking to The Guardian ahead of the July event, Butler admitted that while he’s unsure of how the performance will roll out, or how Osbourne’s health may affect the show, the lofty expectations behind such a gig have left him feeling immensely anxious.

“I’m already having palpitations,” he noted. “In fact, I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed everything went wrong on stage and we all turned to dust. It’s important that we leave a great impression, since it’s the final time that people will experience us live. So it has to be great on the night.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Osbourne again pointed out that Black Sabbath aren’t planning on performing a full-length set. “We’re only playing a couple of songs each,” he explained. “I don’t want people thinking, ‘We’re getting ripped off’, because it’s just going to be … what’s the word? … a sample, you’re going to get a few songs each by Ozzy and Sabbath.”

Though Osbourne also noted he has been undergoing extensive training as part of his preparation for the show, the end result will undoubtedly be far different to what fans may have hoped for, but as much as he can handle given his health circumstances.

“I’m used to doing two hours on stage, jumping and running around,” he said. “I don’t think I’ll be doing much jumping or running around this time. I may be sitting down, but the point is I’ll be there, and I’ll do the best I can. So all I can do is turn up.”
