While there were many jaw-dropping ensembles exhibited on the 2025 Met Gala carpet today, certain stars took their looks to the next level with one accessory: A hat.

Stars such as Rihanna — who also revealed she is expecting her third baby with partner, A$AP Rocky — Diana Ross and Zendaya all finished off their high-fashion looks with equally compelling headwear. Snowfall actor Damson Idris even wowed spectators as he showed up in head-to-toe F1 racing gear, which included a helmet featuring 20,000 Swarovski crystals.

Needless to say, a lot of hats were front and center at the Metropolitan Museum of Art tonight. Below, see all the stars who rocked show-stopping headwear at the 2025 Met Gala.
