Rihanna grabs attention, Kamala stays out of sight, LeBron opts out: Stu’s funny Met Gala commentary

Each spring, the Met Gala attracts celebrities and cultural figures, all showcasing their themed evening wear at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

This year’s Met Gala, held in 2025, stirred up a mix of drama, featuring everything from pregnancies to unexpected absences.

Here are the three major highlights from the evening.

1. Rihanna is pregnant again

Rihanna, the renowned singer and fashion icon, revealed her third pregnancy, proudly showcasing her baby bump in a stylish outfit alongside her partner A$AP Rocky.

While commenting on images of Rihanna from the gala, a host expressed his thoughts on the obvious nature of her pregnancy announcement, suggesting that it’s clearly newsworthy.

It seems her status as a long-time advocate for abortion adds a layer of intrigue to her reveal.

2. Is that Kamala?

Kamala Harris made a low-key entrance in a striking black and white gown inspired by Cruella de Vil, notably avoiding the red carpet and keeping media coverage to a minimum.

There’s speculation about whether her subtle appearance hints at the irony of attending an extravagant event priced at $75,000 per person, especially when her political platform often addresses inequality.

While acknowledging that wealthy individuals have their rights to enjoy such events, there’s a hint of discontent over the disconnect between wealth and advocacy.

A joke was made about needing an executive order barring discussions on income inequality if attending the gala.

3. LeBron bids farewell

LeBron James, recognized for his cultural impact, was slated to be the Honorary Chairperson for the 2025 Met Gala. Yet, hours before the event, he canceled, citing knee injuries from a recent playoff game as the reason for his absence.

There’s some skepticism about the severity of his injuries, especially since he continued to play after sustaining them. This raised questions about whether he truly needed to skip the gala.

In his absence, he expressed confusion regarding the appeal of the Met Gala, pondering why people hold it in such high regard.
