The Met Gala 2025 has arrived, and we are here to provide you with all the illustrious and luminous diamond jewelry details on your favorite celebrities.
Each year since 1948, an exclusive assembly of A-list guests gathers in New York City for fashion’s biggest night, the Met Gala. On the first Monday in May, celebrities, designers, industry icons, and socialites all come together at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, looking their very best in over-the-top couture ensembles and exuberant natural diamond jewels.
First established by Eleanor Lambert, the fashion publicist who implemented New York Fashion Week and the International Best Dressed List, the Met Ball’s origins came from more modest means. When Vogue editor Diana Vreeland took the reins in the 1970s, the gala’s notoriety reached new heights and only continued to rise through Anna Wintour’s tenure at the helm of the annual event.
