Johannesburg, 29 April 2025: Fashion's most extravagant night is back — and South African viewers won't have to miss a single, sparkling moment. The 2025 Met Gala will be lighting up New York City on Tuesday, 6 May, and E! Live From The Red Carpet will be there to capture every jaw-dropping celebrity entrance, daring look, and headline-making fashion statement. Set your reminders for 7pm (DStv 124), because this is one red carpet event you don't want to miss.

Once again, E! will deliver its signature red carpet magic with an all-star team. Fashion expert Zanna Roberts Rassi, NBC Sports host Maria Taylor, journalist Elaine Welteroth, actress-comedian Yvonne Orji, and designer-to-the-stars Christian Siriano will be on hand to break down the style, celebrity interviews, and the must-know gossip from inside the party of the year.

Meanwhile, Access Hollywood’s Zuri Hall will be holding it down on the iconic Met Gala steps, chatting exclusively with the biggest names in music, fashion, sport and film as they arrive dressed to the nines.

And speaking of names — some of the world’s most recognisable faces are expected to grace the 2025 Met Gala carpet. Confirmed and anticipated attendees include Zendaya, Doechii, Law Roach, Ayo Edebiri, Usher, Spike Lee, Janelle Monáe, Simone Biles and husband Jonathan Owens, Olympic track star Sha’Carri Richardson, WNBA star Angel Reese, and more. As always, fans can keep an eye out for red carpet regulars like Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Lil Nas X, Rihanna, Cardi B, Billie Eilish, and Zoë Kravitz.

The 2025 Met Gala theme — “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” — draws from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. This year’s dress code, “Tailored for You”, celebrates the artistry of menswear and suiting while highlighting the enduring influence of Black designers, stylists and celebrities on global fashion.

Expect behind-the-scenes peeks at celebrity departures from The Mark Hotel, The Carlyle Hotel and The Pierre Hotel, as well as commentary celebrating diversity and trailblazers in fashion culture.

The entire production is helmed by Den of Thieves, with Jesse Ignjatovic, Evan Prager and Barb Bialkowski serving as executive producers — so you know you’re in for flawless red carpet coverage.

So whether you’re watching for the show-stopping gowns, the tailored tuxedos, or the inevitable internet-breaking fashion moments, be sure to catch E! Live From The Red Carpet: The 2025 Met Gala on Tuesday, 6 May at 7pm on E! (DStv 124).

The question is — which star will steal the spotlight this year?
