Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro Shine at Met Gala 2025, But Not Together
The annual Met Gala took place in New York City last night, with celebrities from around the world gathering to celebrate fashion and style. This year’s event, themed "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," saw many A-listers walking the red carpet, including actress Monica Barbaro. However, her boyfriend, Andrew Garfield, was noticeably absent from the event, at least initially.
According to a report from Elle, Barbaro attended the Met Gala solo, wearing a stunning Dior dress that perfectly captured the evening’s theme. The actress, known for her roles in films like "A Complete Unknown," looked radiant on the red carpet, posing for photos and chatting with guests. Meanwhile, Garfield, who has been dating Barbaro since February, was spotted with her later in the evening, but not on the red carpet.
The couple’s decision to keep a low profile at the Met Gala is not surprising, given their desire to maintain a private relationship. As Elle notes, Garfield has been vocal about his wish to keep his love life out of the spotlight. In an interview with Esquire last October, he stated, "I have never, and I won’t ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever."
Despite their efforts to keep a low profile, Barbaro and Garfield have been spotted together at several events, including the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and a trip to Japan. However, they have yet to make a joint appearance on the red carpet. According to sources, the couple is keen to keep their relationship private, and their separate arrivals at the Met Gala were likely a deliberate choice.
Barbaro, who has been open about her struggles with social media, has previously spoken about the importance of maintaining a private life. In an interview with Variety earlier this year, she revealed that she had deleted social media from her phone to avoid the hype surrounding her film "A Complete Unknown" and co-star Timothée Chalamet. As she noted, "It was an interesting time because Timmy and the film had so much buzz, there were people sneaking on to set and grabbing videos or crowds gathering on the street and you’d just see smartphones up."
The Met Gala, one of the most high-profile fashion events in the world, saw many celebrities walking the red carpet in stunning outfits. Other attendees included Jamie Foxx, who posed for photos with Garfield at the 2019 Met Gala. This year’s event was a celebration of black style and tailoring, with many guests choosing to wear outfits that reflected the theme.
In conclusion, while Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro may not have made a joint appearance on the red carpet at the Met Gala, they were together later in the evening, supporting each other in their respective fashion choices. As Elle reports, the couple’s decision to keep a low profile is a reflection of their desire for a private relationship, and we can expect to see more of them in the future, albeit on their own terms.
The couple’s appearances at various events have been well-documented, and their relationship seems to be going strong. As they continue to navigate the spotlight, it will be interesting to see how they balance their public and private lives. For now, we can appreciate their individual styles and fashion choices, as seen at the Met Gala 2025.
As previously reported by Elle, Barbaro and Garfield’s relationship has been a topic of interest among fans and media alike. With their recent appearances at high-profile events, it’s clear that they’re not afraid to make a statement, even if it’s not always together on the red carpet.
