It’s typically uncommon for a celebrity to show up at the event.
Met Gala
and
not
stroll down the red carpet. Yet, that’s precisely what this Academy Award victor chose to do.
Leonardo DiCaprio
went to the 2025 Met Gala with his two-year-long girlfriend,
Vittoria Ceretti
—He simply didn’t want us to be aware of it!
As Vittoria ascended the Metropolitan Museum steps wearing a Moncler x EE72 gown, Leo slipped into the event unnoticed, avoiding photo ops. Despite the gala’s strict no-photo policy—which typically leads to countless bathroom mirror self-portraits—a camera still managed to capture the actor.
Vogue
shared the news about Leo unexpectedly showing up on Wednesday, along with a picture of him within the museum, strolling just a short distance away from Vittoria. Despite his attempt to hide his face from the lens, there’s no confusing those strong features. Maybe you’ll have better fortune next time, Leo!
According to the magazine, this was the actor’s first time attending the Met Gala, but given his desire for privacy, it’s possible he’s been before and has simply never been spotted. Or maybe he’s attended all these years and refused to be photographed until now. He did, after all, attend
Teyana Taylor’s event before the Met Gala in 2024
—with Vittoria, of course.
Even if Leonardo had wanted to walk the red carpet at the Met Gala, he and Vittoria would probably have chosen to walk separately—

Leo has typically kept his romantic life under wraps, and as Vittoria explicitly stated in an interview released earlier this year, she preferred not to be defined by her dating status.
The moment you enter into a relationship with someone who has more followers than you, you automatically become known as their ‘girlfriend’ or ‘boyfriend,’ she explained.

And that can be really irritating. All of a sudden, everyone starts referring to you as such-and-such’s former partner or the current girlfriend of someone else.
During that interview, when Vittoria was questioned about dating one of the most attractive men globally, she replied, “As long as you both share mutual affection, there’s nothing to worry about. Love provides security and assurance.” Given such thoughtful remarks, perhaps we might spot Vittoria walking the upcoming Oscar’s red carpet!
