The 2024 Met Gala is done and dusted for another year – and while many will linger over the sensational red-carpet fashion, there were several noteworthy moments from the night that were probably missed.
While those lucky enough to score an invitation took the ‘Garden of Time’ dress code and ran with it, including the likes of Kim Kardashian, Lana Del Rey, Jessica Biel, and more, there were others whose antics stopped us in our tracks for different reasons.
From a surprise pregnancy reveal to a rumored couple finally making their relationship official, check out the top moments you may have missed below…

Katy wasn’t the only star to get the AI treatment – Rihanna did too.
The singer was due to attend the event but according to reports, she was forced to cancel after coming down with the flu.
Rihanna’s AI image featured her in a white gown with green vines and flowers throughout and a huge circular piece swarming her frame, which is a far cry from the “simple” look she had planned.
“I’m actually keeping it real simple this year… It’s gonna come to what my makeup and what my hair is going to do,” Rihanna told Extra before she was a no-show.

British model Adwoah surprised onlookers when she announced her pregnancy by displaying her baby bump in a red H&M two-piece that highlighted her growing stomach.
She’s not the first to use the Met Gala to announce they were expecting and follows in the footsteps of Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss.

Singer Tyla looked gorgeous in her custom Balmain dress – but it was so fitted she needed several helping hands to get her up the steps.
The Water singer was escorted by four helpers after she struggled with her mobility, and at one point she had to be carried between the landings as she was unable to bend her legs.

Saltburn star Barry and singer Sabrina have kept fans guessing about their relationship since they were first rumored to be dating at the end of 2023.
But what better way to confirm a romance than by making your red carpet debut at the Met Gala?
While they walked the carpet separately, they finally gave fans what they’d been asking for and posed for photos together at the top of the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps before they headed inside the venue together.

One show-stopping look wasn’t enough for co-chair Zendaya. After wowing in custom Maison Margiela Couture – a blue and green dress accessorized with fauna decorations and a velvet green, feathered headpiece – she changed into another jaw-dropping creation.
Her second look of the night was a dramatic black gown from Givenchy’s spring 1996 haute couture collection that featured a bold floral headpiece and a floor-sweeping train.

Pamela Anderson has been enjoying a makeup-free complexion lately but made an exception for the Met Gala.
The actress – who stopped wearing makeup to “challenge beauty” – still kept her look natural and opted for subtle application to highlight her features with glossy lips, rosy cheeks, and a flush of eyeshadow.
