Let Astrology Tell You Exactly How the 2025 Met Gala Will Go Down

There are certain things you can expect at each year's Met Gala. The biggest names in Hollywood will grace the red carpet. At least one clip from a Keke Palmer/Emma Chamberlain interview will go viral. The fake photo of Jason Derulo falling down the stairs will make its rounds on social media. But there are other moments that you can't anticipate—like who will be the best dressed, which Met Gala regulars will decide to skip last minute, or how closely the guests will adhere to the theme (this year, it's "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style").To get an idea of what the night will look like before the First Monday in May arrives, we turned to the stars. More specifically, the astrologer Kayla Murphy, also known as @yungkalez. Her work has gone viral for accurately predicting pop culture moments like Drake and Kendrick Lamar's beef, celebrity pregnancies, and multiple Super Bowl outcomes. She's managed to convert some of astrology's biggest skeptics into believers, so it was only right to get her thoughts on how fashion's biggest night will shape up. In case you were wondering, the event itself is a Taurus sun, Virgo moon, and Scorpio rising, since it'll be happening May 5, 2025, at around 7 p.m. Thanks to this energy, Kayla says the night's overall theme will be "rich is loud, while wealth is quiet." "The best looks of the night might be simple in nature but loud in messaging or symbolism," she tells Cosmo. "It may be obvious that you genuinely need to have swag and confidence to pull off this theme—those who are wearing the clothes will slay, and those who are letting the clothes wear them—even if it’s an incredible piece—might fall flat."With that in mind, Kayla dove into the birth charts of some Met Gala mainstays, like Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, and Sabrina Carpenter, to assess what the universe foresees for their fashion, luck, and overall energy on Monday, May 5. Now, astrology is more apt for reflecting someone's energy versus providing us with specific outfit predictions—but Kayla says it can pinpoint how celebs will be feeling, and how their looks will be received by all of us, judging from our couches at home.KYLIE JENNERDimitrios Kambouris//Getty Images It turns out that Kylie is going through a lot right now, so this Met Gala (which will be her eighth) might feel more high-stakes than usual. "I think Kylie generally struggles with big events, so maybe it’s the anxiety of that or anything around [her boyfriend] Timothée Chalamet. The moon’s placement indicates she may be stepping outside of her comfort zone," Kayla says. "Maybe she worked with a cool designer or stylist and has an interesting perspective to share. This astrological area also rules things like press and journalism, so if she shows up with Timothée, that may reflect the intensity of news coverage."Related StoryTimothée Chalamet’s Mom Weighs in on Kylie JennerSABRINA CARPENTERDimitrios Kambouris//Getty ImagesCould Ms. Carpenter be one of the night's best-dressed? The planets say so. Luck is in her favor, and she's taking up more space these days. "There may be a dreamy, ethereal element to her look that dances on the lines of reality," says Kayla. "Sabrina actually has a lot of romantic, emotional, fertility-related transits now, but sometimes this manifests as creative abundance."SELENA GOMEZDia DipasupilSelena at the 2017 Met GalaCome Met Gala Monday, Selena might want to block out any haters and prioritize self-care. "She has a sensitive transit focused on insecurity and a fear of rejection," Kayla says. "She'll inevitably have a lot of attention on her. She might even whiplash the day after, because her transits reflect a short-lived but impactful depressive rut, likely regarding relationships or work matters." TYLADimitrios Kambouris//Getty ImagesThis singer's look might focus a lot on themes of the home, fertility, and origins. That's because she’s having her “lunar return,” where the moon (which rules a person's emotions and inner world) will return to the sign it was in when she was born. "Oftentimes this signifies that whatever takes place on this day will set the tone for the month, so she may have a look that people discuss for some time." We love a conversation-starter.AYO EDEBIRIJeff Kravitz//Getty ImagesFans are going to be extremely charmed by Ayo on Met Gala Monday (as per usual). "She might have a lighthearted, easily digestible look and demeanor that will be received well this evening," Kayla predicts. "At worst, she'll experience some miscommunications, but we might not know about them. It could be anything from a misunderstanding during a carpet interview to a lost button not sewn on well enough by a seamstress, it’s about the details. There could be a lack of clarity in expressing her vision, or she's playing it safe to avoid controversy."JENNIFER LOPEZDia Dipasupil//Getty ImagesSo J. Lo might have a sort of "I'm only here because I have to be" vibe to her at this event. "Her energy may be low, but she will still make a good impression—she normally plays it safe and has a consistent glamorous look despite the variation in themes, but she does have an unconventional, destabilizing transit this day." That means we might see Jennifer take a real fashion risk this day, or experience an unexpected wardrobe malfunction. "Something within relationships and beauty is unpredictable or serves as a surprise for her today. However, there is a sense of fun and eccentric flair to break patterns and have fun." Kayla says that means she might show up in something like an outlandish hat. Can't wait to see it.RIHANNADimitrios Kambouris//Getty ImagesAt around 8 p.m. EST, Rihanna's astrological transits indicate that she'll have an "exciting yet unexpected edge." Kayla theorizes that "this could manifest as an unpredictable look, an unplanned circumstance that delays her arrival, a wardrobe malfunction, not showing up last minute because of a health issue, or even something unstable behind closed doors that we would never know about." It won't be a detrimental circumstance. "She is also having a very practical, supportive transit, so if it’s a wonky situation, she'll take a 'let’s just go with it' solution-based approach. It similarly supports tradition versus breaking the rules, so perhaps she’ll have an out-of-the-box twist with her look that still nods to this historical context, or she’ll comedically stick to her tradition of showing up fashionably late."Kayla doesn't think we'll be getting any pictures of Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky walking the carpet together. "I feel like they'll do the carpet separately. They'll both eat this theme up. But Rihanna is amidst a lot of critical long-term transits right now, so while the night of might not mean much in the grand scheme of things, it may serve as a marker of a new era of her image, identity, and legacy.

"Her transits are bringing a lot of emotional pressure, loneliness, and depression to the home and private life. While I would assume a “normal” person wouldn’t show face, she seems to have made a name for herself prioritizing work events.""Once the red carpet begins, the moon will have just entered the most public area of her chart. This is favorable for having eyes on you, regardless of whether it’s positive or negative press. She has a pretty heavy, intense transit the day prior that may affect her mood, or the chatter around her. So if she seems “off,” that might be why, unless it's due to something profound, scandalous, or controversial about her look or arrival."Related StoriesAll About Your “Big Three”All About the 2025 Met Gala Theme
