Scarlett
Johansson,
who
famously
made
no
red
carpet
appearances
with
Ryan
while
they
were
married,
made
it
Met
Gala-official
with
future
husband
Colin
Jost in
2018,
while
Blake
Lively
and
her
decadent
train
(which
needed
its
own
party
bus
to
get
to
the
gala)
made
a
night
of
it
on
her
own.
And
Blake,
a
Met
Gala
favorite
with
a
date
or
without,
needed
no
escort
to
dominate
social
media:
According
to
analytics
compiled
by
Talkwalker,
she
was
the
most
mentioned
celebrity
of
the
whole
night
with
180,900
mentions.
Alas,
absent
from
the
event
since
cochairing
it
in
2022,
Blake
didn’t
make
her
grand
return
in
2025.
But
ultimately,
the
Met
Gala
is
a
night
for
everyone
to
wear
their
big-girl
(and
-boy)
pants,
to
show
that
one
can’t
be
fazed
by
the
prospect—or
the
reality—of
running
into
an
ex.
Wearing
millions
of
dollars’
worth
of
diamonds
and
haute
couture
certainly
helps.
Fashion
isn’t
compared
to
armor
for
nothing.
And
whether
they’re
each
other’s
forever-dates
or
are
just
part
of
a
moment
in
time,
these
are
the
couples
who
attended
the
2025
Met
Gala:
