Hailey Bieber Stuns Solo at 2025 Met Gala as Justin Bieber Skips for Hockey and Downtime
Hailey Bieber turned heads at the 2025 Met Gala, arriving solo in a striking black Saint Laurent micro blazer dress that perfectly captured the evening’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” The model accessorized with Tiffany & Co. diamonds, sky-high platform mules, and her signature bronzed glam, even leaving The Carlyle Hotel with a martini in hand before hitting the red carpet.
Notably absent was her husband, Justin Bieber, sparking curiosity among fans. While Hailey mingled with close friend Kendall Jenner and other A-listers, Justin opted for a low-key night at home, watching his beloved Toronto Maple Leafs clinch a 5–4 playoff victory over the Florida Panthers. He shared game highlights and even reposted Hailey’s Met Gala look on Instagram with the caption “Tell em uncle Charlie,” set to Charlie Wilson’s “There Goes My Baby.”
This isn’t the first time Hailey has attended the Met Gala without Justin; she also went solo in 2022. The couple last walked the Met carpet together in 2021. Justin’s absence aligns with his ongoing preference for staying out of the spotlight and focusing on personal well-being. In fact, he spent part of the evening reviewing samples for his new fashion brand, Skylrk.
Despite swirling rumors about their relationship, the Biebers appear to be on solid ground. They welcomed their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024, and sources close to the couple affirm that their marriage remains strong. Justin has been vocal about his support for Hailey, often sharing affectionate posts and defending their relationship against naysayers.
While Justin’s choice to skip the Met Gala may disappoint fans hoping for a joint appearance, it underscores the couple’s commitment to prioritizing their personal lives over public expectations. As Hailey dazzled on the red carpet, Justin cheered from the sidelines—proving that sometimes, love shines brightest away from the spotlight.
