Stop the presses! Cancel your plans! Leonardo DiCaprio has done the unthinkable: he finally showed up to the Met Gala… but in true Leo fashion, he ghosted the red carpet harder than he ghosts women after their 25th birthday.
Yes, the 50-year-old Oscar-winning heartthrob—who has been rich and hot for decades—stepped into fashion’s most elite soirée on Monday night (May 5), arm-in-arm with his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, who is 26 and therefore *just* under the Leo Age Limit™. Scientists are still studying how she made it past security.
Now, while the rest of the celeb circus posed, preened, and practically fought each other for the camera flashes, Leo said, “No thanks,” and pulled a reverse Cinderella: showed up late and refused to be seen. Vogue did snag one elusive shot of him skulking through the museum halls like a very fashionable raccoon avoiding paparazzi. In the photo, he’s shielding his face like he just realized the Met is not, in fact, a VIP-only escape room.
He wore a tuxedo, which is basically the male version of saying “I made some effort.” Vogue called it “sleek” and “on theme,” which is code for “Leo wore clothes.” The 2025 Met Gala theme was “Tailored For You,” which we assume means “Look rich, but make it bespoke.”
Meanwhile, Vittoria—who did understand the assignment—rocked a Moncler x EE72 by Edward Enninful gown, which sounds less like a fashion brand and more like an R2-D2 cousin, and Briony Raymond jewelry so sparkly it could guide ships home through fog.
So yes, Leo went to the Met Gala. He just didn’t want you to know he went to the Met Gala. Classic Leo: present but mysterious, tuxed but elusive, dating a supermodel and still somehow allergic to attention unless he’s accepting an Oscar.
