Lisa Beats Zendaya, Rihanna in Met Gala Buzz; SRK Leads Men’s List

May 13, 2025, 12:56 pm

The 2025 Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, brought together stars from around the world. From Hollywood celebrities and Bollywood actors to Asian pop icons, the blue carpet sparkled with fashion and fame. But the person who stole the most attention wasn’t a Hollywood regular. Instead, it was a 28-year-old first-timer who overshadowed some of the biggest global names.

Lisa Becomes the Met Gala’s Most Talked-About Star

On Tuesday, The Hollywood Reporter published the official Power Rankings for the 2025 Met Gala. These rankings, based on data by Launchmetrics, reveal which celebrities and fashion brands created the most online buzz and media value.

Topping the list this year was Lisa, the Thai K-pop sensation from BLACKPINK, who generated an astonishing $21.3 million in Media Impact Value (MIV). This figure reflects how much her appearance earned through media coverage, particularly on social platforms. This made her the most popular star at this year’s gala.

Lisa Surpasses Zendaya and Rihanna

This was Lisa’s debut at the Met Gala, but she still managed to beat some of the most established names in fashion and entertainment. Zendaya, often a Met Gala favorite, earned $14.3 million in MIV, while Rihanna came in close behind with $13.5 million.

Interestingly, Kylie Jenner didn’t make it into the top five women this year. The second position went to Thai actress Sarocha Chankimha, also known as Freen, who earned $19.5 million in MIV. Jennie, Lisa’s BLACKPINK bandmate, secured the third spot among women with $17.6 million.

Shah Rukh Khan Leads Among Men

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who also made his first appearance at the Met Gala, topped the men’s category. He earned an impressive $19 million in MIV, placing him among the top three overall alongside Lisa and Freen.

Lisa’s Journey to Global Fame

Lisa began her rise to fame in 2016 with the launch of BLACKPINK. Over the years, she became a household name in the global music industry. This year, she gained more recognition in the West with her role in season 3 of HBO’s The White Lotus. Her appearance at the Met Gala marked another major step into the international spotlight.

Louis Vuitton Look Sparks Controversy

At the event, Lisa wore a custom outfit by Louis Vuitton. However, her look caused controversy after people noticed that her underwear featured an image of Rosa Parks, the American civil rights icon. The incident drew criticism online.

Lisa responded by saying sorry to her followers. “I apologize to my fans and anyone hurt by the outfit,” she said after the backlash. Despite the negative attention, the controversy made her trend on social media for a long time, which likely contributed to her topping the power rankings.

Some of the Grammy winner’s most memorable appearances, as reported by ‘People,’ were skin-baring moments, such as the renowned custom Adam Selman creation, which consisted of an unforgettable fishnet dress, gloves, and headgear that were individually decorated with over 216,000 Swarovski crystals.

She also made headlines for her 2014 Met Gala afterparty gown, a Stella McCartney design that showed a lot of abs with a daringly low back.

Speaking with the publication, Rihanna stated that the backless dress is still one of her favorites, noting that two of her best-dressed moments came from the 2014 Met Gala.

The “Umbrella” singer went on to say how much she loved her Stella McCartney-inspired white crop top and skirt combo from the Gala.

Rihanna’s new Savage X Fenty show to feature Johnny Depp

November 5, 2022, 3:32 pm

Actor Johnny Depp is all set to feature in Rihanna’s upcoming “Savage X Fenty Vol. 4” fashion show.

Depp will be the first male celebrity to appear in one of Rihanna’s shows as a featured “star,” according to Variety. His brief cameo is similar to other celebrity cameos, such as Cindy Crawford’s appearance in the Savage X Fenty showcase in 2021. As of now, Rihanna herself, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” actor Winston Duke, “Abbott Elementary” Emmy winner Sheryl Lee Ralph, Simu Liu from Marvel’s “Shang-Chi,” Taraji P. Henson from “Empire,” Irina Shayk from “Empire,” Marsai Martin from “Empire,” and performances by Burna Boy and Anitta are all confirmed celebrities for the “Vol. 4” show.

On November 9, “Savage X Fenty Vol. 4” will be available on Prime Video.

Depp is currently making headlines over an alleged romance with his attorney, Joelle Rich.

In 2018, Johnny was represented by Joelle Rich during his libel case against The Sun. People magazine has verified the news regarding their split.

A source told the publication back in September that the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor and the London attorney were “dating, but it’s not serious.”

The two are no longer dating, according to the most recent reports.

Rich was a member of Depp’s legal team during his unsuccessful libel case against The Sun in November 2020.

He filed a lawsuit against the British publication for labelling him a “wife-beater,” but the court upheld the charges as “basically true,” and his ex-wife Amber Heard gave testimony to support them. His effort to overturn the judgement was rejected in March 2021.

In the defamation case against Heard, 36, that was heard in Fairfax County, Virginia, Rich was not one of his attorneys.

Rich has had previous encounters with well-known individuals from other countries while working in her field.

In the Duchess’ 2019 lawsuit against the Daily Mail over the publication of a private letter to her estranged father, the attorney, a partner at the firm Schillings, successfully defended Meghan Markle, according to Page Six. The Duchess won on behalf of her client in 2021.
