Hailey Bieber was a tini bit excited to make an entrance 2025 Met Gala.
Indeed, just moments before she graced the steps at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the annual charity gala, the Rhode Beauty founder shared a glimpse of her dazzling Saint Laurant look while exiting the Carlyle Hotel in New York City. However, her most eye-catching accessory may have been the martini she strutted out of the hotel holding.
“One thing about me,” Hailey wrote on her Instagram Stories after the May 5 event, “is I’m gonna wear a blazer and drink a martini.”
For her return to the charity gala—hosted by co-chairs A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams as well as Vogue editor Anna Wintour—Hailey donned only a Saint Laurent mini dress blazer, paired with strappy platform heels and silver jewelry. (See all the stars who stepped out at the Met here.)
As for why Hailey—who shares 8-month-old son Jack Blues Bieber with husband Justin Bieber—didn’t attend last year’s Met Gala? Despite having previously told fans she’d return for the event, she ultimately skipped fashion’s biggest night to keep her pregnancy under wraps for a bit longer—though she and Justin revealed they were expecting little Jack just three days later.
“I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy outwardly,” Hailey admitted in an interview with W magazine last July. “I felt like I was hiding this big secret, and it didn’t feel good. I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.”
But this year, while the 28-year-old boasted the theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” with her daring look, Justin seemed to have prior arrangements. Rather than walking the famed steps of the Met, the Grammy winner was spending some quality time with his friends at the golf course.
In a series of clips shared to his Instagram Stories May 5, the “Baby” singer put his skills to the test on a vibrant green golf course while rocking a white tank top and matching flowy pants. And once he was done teeing off at the course, the 31-year-old shared a few pics of himself going over some samples for his new fashion brand, Skylrk, which he announced last month.
“Get excited,” Justin wrote alongside a photo teasing his upcoming shoe release, “fooliessssss.”
