Hailey Bieber Attends Met Gala 2025 Solo Amid Controversy

Hailey Bieber returned to the 2025 Met Gala alone, marking her first appearance in three years and drawing attention due to her somber demeanor and striking Saint Laurent mini blazer dress. Her absence from previous galas was speculated to be linked to the negative experience in 2021 when she was heckled by fans of Justin Bieber’s ex, Selena Gomez. Hailey addressed rumors about crying at the 2021 event, clarifying that she was not upset but found the chanting 'disrespectful.' Meanwhile, Justin Bieber skipped the event, opting instead to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs playoff game, which he shared on social media, and sources close to the couple emphasized their marriage remains strong. Hailey attended the gala with her friend Kendall Jenner, and the couple is reportedly enjoying parenthood and focusing on their respective careers. This year’s Met Gala was themed 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' and featured several high-profile co-chairs, with Anna Wintour maintaining tight control over the guest list.
