Met Gala Monday is on the horizon, and we’re ready and waiting, with cocktail glasses in hand. The New York City annual event is an exciting night for fashion and celebrity enthusiasts, with this year’s theme being “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” Lagerfeld, known for his luxury stylings, was a famous German fashion designer who passed in 2019. Last year’s Met Gala theme was “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” which definitely kept people guessing.

While we very publicly cheer on Blake Lively’s presumably stunning fit yet another year in a row (please say she's attending!), we'll be mixing cocktails that are totally Met Gala-inspired. Here’s a compilation of drink recipes that will upgrade your viewing parties!

Not to be confused with last year’s theme, the Met Gala in 2021 featured “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” Nothing says America like some tasty gin (and Rhianna's iconic look that year, which we still can’t get over)!

Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. Stir all ingredients with ice to chill, then strain into a rocks glass and serve over ice.
  2. Garnish with fresh rosemary.

What says Met Gala more than a red carpet-inspired drink? As avid cocktail lovers, you can’t go wrong with some sparkling wine adorned with delicious berries. The Empress Red Carpet cocktail is definitely paparazzi-worthy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Empress 1908 Gin
  • 1 oz berry liqueur or juice
  • Sparkling wine
  • Blackberries
  • Thyme

Instructions:

  1. Build in a chilled champagne flute.
  2. Garnish with blackberries & thyme.

Rum and Coke

Word on the street is (and according to Business Insider) that Karl Lagerfeld loved Coca-Cola. In fact, he used to drink upwards of ten Diet Cokes a day. To honor this year’s Lagerfeld theme, conjure up your own rum and coke cocktail with this recipe from The Spruce Eats:

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz light or dark rum
  • 4 to 6 oz Coca-Cola, to taste
  • Lime wedge, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Pour the rum into a highball glass filled with ice.
  3. Top with cola.
  4. Garnish with a lime wedge. Serve and enjoy!

Naked & Famous

Who could forget the Met Gala’s “Camp: Notes in Fashion” theme — you know, the one where Harry Styles debuted that all-black look with one pearl earring? Camp is an exaggerated form of fashion that’s over-the-top and purposefully tacky – so why not make your cocktails the same way? This Naked & Famous cocktail will be as colorful as Lady Gaga’s out-of-this-world pink dress.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 oz Dos Hombres Mezcal
  • 1/4 oz Aperol
  • 1/4 oz Chartreuse yellow
  • 1/4 oz fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Add all ingredients in a mixing tin with ice. Shake and strain into a child coupe glass.
  2. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Honey, Glow Mocktail

Remember *that* Katy Perry look? You know, the one from 2019 where she's dressed as an actual chandelier? Yeah, this Honey Glow drink is not only inspired by that bright look — literally — but it also features Perry’s own line of De Soi, featuring non-alcoholic apéritifs.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 cup sparkling water or soda water
  • Orange slices and mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Fill a glass with ice cubes and combine Golden Hour, honey, fresh orange juice, and sparkling soda water.
  2. Garnish with a sprig of mint and an orange slice.

Rosa Regale Sunshine

We are going way back for this Rosa Regale Sunshine cocktail. Rihanna was the Belle of the 2015 Met Gala ball, with the theme being “China: Through the Looking Glass.” The bright yellow hue from Ri Ri’s dress is definitely not lost in this fun cocktail recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1oz rum
  • 1 oz Monin Mango Puree
  • 1 oz pineapple juice
  • 4 Rosa Regale Sparkling White
  • Lime wedge

Instructions:

  1. Shake all ingredients except the Rosa Regale Sparkling White with ice.
  2. Strain over fresh ice in a glass.
  3. Top with Rosa Regale Sparkling White and garnish with lime.

Filthy Camp

This one is for the tequila lovers (AKA, us here at Brit + Co). Inspired by the Met Gala Camp theme yet again, the Filthy Camp cocktail is easy to throw together and has the sweet flavor of black cherries!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1⁄2 oz Flecha Azul Blanco Tequila
  • 1⁄2 oz Filthy Black Cherry Syrup
  • 1 oz sparkling water
  • 1⁄2 oz fresh lime juice

Instructions:

  1. Fill a shaker with ice and combine tequila, fresh lime juice and black cherry syrup.
  2. Shake vigorously and strain into a coupe glass. Top off with sparkling water and garnish with Filthy Black Cherry.

20 Blue Zone Diet Recipes That Give Your Meals A Healthy Kick

The blue zone diet is undeniably one of the best ways of eating for overall health and longevity. It draws culinary inspiration from the top blue zones around the world (Ikaria, Greece, Okinawa, Japan, Sardinia, Italy, Loma Linda, California, and the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica), where people tend to live longer (over 100 years!), often free of any heart disease, obesity, cancer, or diabetes.

Originally outlined by National Geographic Explorer and Fellow Dan Buettner, the blue zone diet is 95% plant-based, with beans, legumes, sweet potatoes, yams, fruits, leafy greens, beets, nuts, and seeds being the #1 priority. High-quality olive oiland whole grains like brown rice and barley are also a huge part of the diet. Blue zone diet recipes widely limit eggs, dairy, meat, added sugar, and processed foods.

The blue zone diet can be a helpful tool to guide your eating habits toward healthier, more beneficial choices for a longer life. These 20 blue zone diet recipes highlight whole foods, veggies, and fruits to make each meal work for you!

Heyday Beans

Chickpea Curry

This flavorful curry recipe loads up on lots of chickpeas to better suit the blue zone diet. Swap the basmati for brown rice, and you'll be set! (via Heyday Beans for Brit + Co)

Midjourney

Niçoise Salad

This dish is packed with so much goodness. From the bed of greens to the heart veggie toppings like olives, tomatoes, green beans, onion, and more, each bite is different from the next, which makes mealtime (especially with the blue zone diet) fun! (via Brit + Co)

Antoni Shkraba / PEXELS

Hummus + Veggies

Hummus is super easy to make at home, and it'd guaranteed to be healthy when you know exactly what you're putting into it. This recipe features a nice amount of lemon juice for taste and freshness. Serve with lotsa veg, as per the blue zone diet. (via Brit + Co)

Two Spoons

Spring Mix Salad + Lemon Tofu

Salads make some of the best blue zone diet recipes (remember that 95% plant-based rule?), but just because they're salads doesn't mean they have to be boring. This one earns some good zest from baked tofu, homemade dressing, and crunchy veggies. (via Two Spoons for Brit + Co)

Brit + Co

Zucchini Fries

These veggie-laden fries actually taste like what you'd get in the drive-thru. So, if you're searching for blue zone diet recipes that'll fulfill your fast food cravings, this is it. Serve with a homemade sauce to amp up the vibes. (via Brit + Co)

The Real Food Dietitians

Greek Cucumber Salad

Greek and Mediterranean food often qualify for the diet since they're fresh and full of healthy goods. This Greek salad combines juicy cukes, tomatoes, onions, and chickpeas for a refreshing blue zone bite. (via The Real Food Dietitians)

The Edgy Veg

Oyster Mushroom Shawarma

Since blue zone diet recipes tend to limit actual meat, it's crucial to find ones that emulate the meaty, smoky flavors of the chicken, beef, and fish you might be missing. In this dish, oyster mushrooms form a very complex forkful with the help of a homemade marinade. (via The Edgy Veg)

Give Recipe

Beetroot Dip

Beets are one of the top veggies to eat on the blue zone diet, and this dip is probably one of the coolest ways you can prepare them. This recipe earns extra points for including pine nuts and/or pistachios! (via Give Recipe)

Blue zone breakfasts can range from granolas to fruit salads, but these waffles look like the tastiest option out there. Wheat flour and cornmeal make up the thick batter for a filling morning meal. (via Blue Zones)

Crowded Kitchen

Beans always win for the blue zone diet! This hearty bowl of chili leverages three different kinds to fill you up and fulfill all your comfort food cravings. (via Earthly Provisions)

Half Baked Harvest

Sweet Potato Kale Salad

Dark, leafy greens are preferred over lighter ones for the diet because they usually hold more nutritional value. That's why this kale salad is a perfect blue zone diet recipe! (via Half Baked Harvest)

Blue Zones

Asian Stir Fry Noodles

This quick dinner doesn't skimp on flavor. You'll fall instantly in love with the blend of ginger, garlic, and sesame oil for the sauce that drowns these rice noodles. (via Blue Zones)

A Virtual Vegan

Almond Hemp Granola

This nutty granola is the ultimate addition to breakfast time yogurt bowls. (via A Virtual Vegan)

Hello Little Home

Roasted Squash

Dakota Johnson Must Choose Between Chris Evans & Pedro Pascal In New ‘Materialists’ Trailer

Summer rom-coms are so back! A24 confirmed on March 4 that Celine Song's Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, is coming to theaters this June and I cannot contain my excitement. The new movie follows a matchmaker (Dakota) who finds herself torn between two romantic prospects. If that's too dramatic for you, girl, I'd be happy to take your place.

Here's the latest update on Materialists starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal.

Watch the 'Materialists' trailer now.

I watched the Materialists trailer four times before writing this because I just couldn't stop soaking it in — and I didn't want to miss a single detail. Of course, we get the story of Lucy (Dakota Johnson) a matchmaker, who finds herself torn between the perfect man (Pedro Pascal) and her ex (Chris Evans), who's still dreaming of "wrinkles and children that look like you," a line that will be playing in my head on REPEAT because OH MY GOSH.

But just like director Celine Song's acclaimed Past Lives, every single detail of the movie translates the emotion in the story. Dakota Johnson has an effervescent grace and masters the screen every time we see her, while Pedro and Chris don't even have to open their mouths to break my heart; their eyes say it all. The color grade and film quality are soft and romantic, which totally matches the delicate situation this trio finds themselves in; both men fall for Lucy and it looks like our matchmaker has to figure out how to avoid breaking anyone's heart — including her own. "Delicate" by Taylor Swift, anyone?

But overall, the movie teases that sometimes, there are no bad decisions, just really hard ones. And if I got all that from the Materialists trailer, I can't wait to see the full movie...even if it's going to be totally devastating. And I have a feeling I'm going to be seeing it more than once.

Is Materialists out yet?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by A24 (@a24)

Materialists will premiere in theaters June 13, 2025. After Past Lives became THE summer movie in 2023 (and absolutely wrecked my roommates), I know Materialists is going to be the perfect June watch.

What is the plot of Materialists?

The movie follows Dakota Johnson's character, a matchmaker in New York City who falls for the perfect man, but can't seem to let go of her ex. Given the fact the first poster for the movie includes "save the date" and looks like a wedding cake, I'm wondering if we'll see all three characters cross paths at a wedding...

Who's in the Materialists cast?

The Materialists cast has some incredible names leading the movie, and when I asked Dakota Johnson about working with Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, she teased how much she enjoyed working with them. "They're both big idiots and I love them," she told Brit + Co exclusively at her Daddio premiere. Here's a breakdown of their roles:

  • Dakota Johnson as Lucy: a perpetually single matchmaker who finds herself torn between the perfect man and her ex.
  • Chris Evans as John: Lucy's ex who hasn't been able to let her go.
  • Pedro Pascal as Randy: a handsome stranger who changes Lucy's life forever.

Where was Materialists filmed?

Materialists was announced in February of 2024, and filming began around New York City by April. Filming wrapped in June.

I love spring and summer shoots because the movie's going to have so much life and energy in every single shot. Plus Dakota's sundresses are totally giving Brooklyn gal — and I'm dreaming of prancing around the city in a dress as soon as the weather warms up!

Are you as excited for Materialists as I am? Let us know your favorite rom-coms in the comments and check out the latest news on Madelyn Cline's new romance movie for more!

Your "Transformative" Weekly Tarot Reading For March 17-23 Is In!

Alright, let's get grounded, loves! ✨ This week's tarot reading kicks off by tuning us back into Mother Earth, especially with those seasonal vibes in full swing. Think of it: as the world around us shifts, so are we, darlings! It's all about recognizing that deep-rooted connection – we're part of this planet, after all, and underestimating that link is a no-go. The big takeaway? Change is coming, whether you're waving hello or hiding under the covers. But trust us, leaning into it is where the magic happens and things flow so much easier. We're talking subtle "micro tweaks" in your everyday, prompting a little soul-searching about what this new season means for you. What are you ready to switch up? What's staying? Just remember, it's a gradual glow-up, not an overnight makeover. Tapping into that holistic connection with the Earth? That's your secret sauce for ease, purpose, and all-around good vibes. It's all about feeling connected, finding your purpose, soaking up the joy, and bringing it all together. You've got this — so let's get into your tarot reading!

Scroll to see your weekly tarot reading for March 17-23!

Page of Cups:

Okay, first up in our cosmic download is the dreamy Page of Cups! This card is all about tapping into your inner confidence and those sweet, sweet feelings. Think of it as your permission slip to chase what your heart desires – as long as you're not stepping on anyone's toes (including your own!), and honestly, who cares what anyone else thinks? The adorable fish in the cup? That's the universe dropping unexpected opportunities right in your lap when you're just being your authentic self and following your joy. Yes, effort and intention are still part of the equation, but aligning with what lights you up can seriously unlock some magical joy, abundance, freedom, and peace vibes. This week, let's make it a mission to pump up that passion and confidence within ourselves so we're living a life that truly feels like us.

The Moon:

The next card is the mystical Moon! This one's all about those shifting phases, telling us that the change we've been craving? It's practically here this week! But heads up, babes, it's gonna require a healthy dose of self-trust and building up that inner confidence to actually create and welcome it. The Moon also shines a light on that little flutter of fear that can pop up with the unknown – totally normal! But the cosmos is reminding us that change is already happening all around, just like the moon's cycles and the Earth's seasons. To really ride this wave, we gotta get cozy with being uncomfortable. Remember that power mantra: "nothing changes if nothing changes"? It's your reminder that you've got the power to shape your own path, and that means embracing the new. The reading also nudges us to get super clear on who we are and what we truly want, because floating around without direction? Not the vibe. Implementing changes, whether they're big leaps or tiny tweaks, that align with our most confident and brave selves – guided by those amazing feelings, that spark of excitement, pure joy, and that inner soul voice? That's the secret sauce for unlocking some serious ease.

The Hanged Man:

Okay, last but definitely not least in our reading is the intriguing Hanged Man! Now, this card is all about that "in-between" space – you know, that transitional period where you might feel a little paused or even stuck, even though things are moving behind the scenes. But don't fret, darling! This card is actually encouraging you to embrace that pause, like a cosmic red light giving you a chance to check your internal GPS before hitting the gas again. Think of it as a moment for contentment, practicing patience, and even a chance to tweak your direction if needed. The Hanged Man is your gentle reminder that big changes take time, so don't stress if you're not seeing instant results. This phase is all about trusting the universe's timing and understanding that you're in a transition, moving from point A to point B. So, even if it feels a little slow, know that momentum is building! Use this time to your advantage – optimize, check in with your soul self, and follow those little breadcrumbs of joy, excitement, and curiosity. You're exactly where you need to be right now!
