As well as being an actor, Louis is perhaps best known for being Olivia Rodrigo's doting boyfriend. And though his popstar GF wasn't in attendance at last night's red carpet, Louis still wound up being the talk of social media — all thanks to his fedora-style hat.

In Louis's defence, his look was very much in keeping with the Met's dress code for the night, which was 'Tailored for You.' However, whether or not the outfit was tailored for him or an array of fictional characters remains up for debate.

Among the viral reactions on X, my favorites were those where people said Louis's outfit looked like something that may have been worn by Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl.

While plenty of others thought he was giving Ryan Evans energy, which is honestly an elite compliment. (High School Musical Met Gala theme, when?)

Not everyone can make a hat work, but I have to say that Louis pulled it off better than most. I am simply dying to know Olivia's thoughts.

Prince Harry offers to share his personal diary with the royals in attempt to ‘deconflict': report
Prince Harry has proved he's serious about reconciling with his estranged family members after offering to share his diary dates with the royal family. The Duke of Sussex, 40, has offered up a transparent view of his calendar to senior members of the Firm in a desperate attempt at repairing their fractured relationship. Harry's olive branch is said to be an attempt at 'deconflicting' his engagements — so that the Windsor clan can select a date that works best for the king to meet with the 'Spare' author face to face, the Daily Mail reports. 5 Prince Harry has proved he's serious about reconciling with his estranged family members after offering to share his diary dates with the royal family. Getty Images What's more, the offer has reportedly also been extended to the Prince and Princess of Wales, who have not spoken to the Sussexes since their royal exit in 2020. The Invictus Games founder's apparent eagerness to be fully transparent with his family would also ensure that no overlaps happen between both camps. 'Harry has shifted into a new way of thinking. The tone is now all about 'deconflicting' with his family,' a source told the outlet. A recent overlap had occurred during the duke's trip to Angola, where Harry's work with the Halo Trust charity overshadowed the unveiling of Queen Camilla's 78th birthday portrait. 'That's why his household agreed to draw up a 'grid' of his activities and share them with Buckingham Palace, and by extension with Kensington Palace,' a source said. 5 The Duke of Sussex, 40, has offered up a transparent view of his calendar to senior members of the Firm in a desperate attempt at repairing their fractured relationship.

'It's a significant gesture.' 5 Harry reportedly hopes the Windsor clan can select a date that works best for the king to meet with him face to face.

Vogue readers horrified by use of ‘disturbing' AI models in Guess advert
Vogue readers have been left disturbed by the use of an AI model in the prestigious fashion magazine's August issue. The double-page advert, which features a blonde model wearing two different outfits across separate pages, was taken out by the label Guess and 'produced' by AI marketing Seraphinne Vallora. In one photo, the model sits with a cup of coffee in a light blue floral playsuit. In another, the AI figure leans against a blue wall in a black and white chevron print dress, clutching a matching Guess bag. Readers were alerted to the fact the model was AI generated through a fine print label that reads: 'Seraphinne Vallora on AI'. Seraphinne Vallora is an agency that designs 'editorial level AI-driven marketing campaigns and cinematic videos'. Its work has also been featured in Harper's Bazaar and Elle. 'That's disturbing. This is the direction AI should not be going in... wow,' one person wrote in response to the images of the AI model on X/Twitter. 'Great. The new beauty standard will be, literally, unobtainable because it's not real,' another social media user remarked. Others were more optimistic about the use of AI: 'The future is here. Takes less time and much cheaper to make,' one supporter wrote. The Independent has contacted Vogue, Guess and Seraphinne Vallora for comment. Plus size model Felicity Hayward, who has been in the fashion industry for over a decade, told the BBC that using AI models in campaigns 'feels lazy and cheap'. Hayward said Vogue's decision to include the advert was 'very disheartening and quite scary', adding she worried the practice could undermine years of work towards more diversity in the fashion industry. The controversy comes after OpenAI and Vogue's publisher Condé Nast announced a multi-year partnership that allows content from the magazine to appear in ChatGPT search results. Condé Nast's CEO, Roger Lynch, said in an email reported by the New York Times that it was 'crucial' for the publisher to 'meet audiences where they are and embrace new technologies'.
