The Met Gala 2025 is just around the corner, and whether you’re tuning in for the show-stopping red carpet looks, celebrity sightings, or the glamorous fashion moments that will break the internet, here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the Met Gala from the comfort of your home.

What day is the Met Gala 2025?

The Met Gala is traditionally held on the first Monday in May — and this year, that falls on Monday, May 5, 2025. Hosted at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the event kicks off in the evening, typically around 6:00 PM EST (11:00 PM BST).

Is the Met Gala Televised?

While the gala dinner itself is an exclusive, invitation-only event, the red carpet is broadcast live, giving fashion lovers a front-row seat to the arrivals. You can’t watch the actual gala or the dinner inside, but the red carpet livestream is where all the fashion magic happens.

The official livestream of the Met Gala red carpet will be available on Vogue.com. As the host and official media partner, Vogue provides the most comprehensive coverage. You can also watch the livestream on Vogue’s YouTube channel, accessible from your phone, tablet, smart TV, or computer.
