The first Monday in May means one thing: the Met Gala, also known as fashion’s biggest night. This year drew stars including the evening’s co-chairs Nicole Kidman and Beyoncé, who returned to the Met stairs for the first time in 10 years—traveled to New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art for the annual event with the most V of VIPs. Kidman fulfilled her co-chair duties by arriving early with daughter Sunday Rose Kidman Urban making her Met ball debut. Mom wore Chanel, while her progeny donned a floral Dior gown (which, the 17-year-old Kidman noted on the carpet, represented her “blossoming” at her very first Met Gala). Zoë Kravitz embodied a baroque painting—and this year’s dress code, “Fashion Is Art”—in her black lace Saint Laurent gown with panniers. Alexa Chung wore a piece designed by Jonathan Anderson for Dior’s latest collection; her strappy sandals matched the chartreuse shade of the dress perfectly. Hailey Bieber leaned into a trend for the evening: body plates, only hers was worn with the deepest shade of Saint-Laurent cerulean. Jennie’s Chanel dress, designed by Matthieu Blazy, featured 15,000 embroidered elements in varying shades of blue—a look she worked with a pumped-up French twist and bleached eyebrows. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky shut down the carpet as usual with Rihanna in a Maison Margiela Artisanal creation and Rocky wearing a baby pink Chanel robe coat with a tasseled belt.

The world stopped, of course, when Beyoncé emerged with her daughter, Blue Ivy, and husband, Jay-Z. The “Crazy in Love” musician wore a beaded, sequined, and feathered custom gown by Olivier Rousteing—a real stunner. But according to Bey, the best part of the Met Gala was getting to experience it “through the eyes of Blue.”

The first Monday in May has arrived, which in the fashion world means one thing: the stars have descended upon Manhattan for the Met’s annual gala benefiting the Costume Institute. This year's edition, co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour—with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos as honorary chairs—celebrates the opening of "Costume Art," an exhibition pairing garments and artworks from across the Met's vast collection to make the case for fashion as an embodied art form. The dress code, "Fashion Is Art," plays on the same theme.

The gala surpassed last year's $31 million in funds raised with a record-breaking $42 million, an especially vital sum given that the Costume Institute is largely self-funded. That’s part of what makes the night so important for supporting the arts, and while the parade of celebrities, designers, and artists posing in meticulously crafted looks is the night's biggest draw, the spontaneous moments once guests clear the museum steps are the most coveted. That's in part because phones and photography inside the gala have been banned—per Wintour—since 2015, though a few candid photos typically manage to make it out (you might recall 2017’s infamous bathroom-smoking photos). Below, the behind-the-scenes celeb run-ins and moments from the 2026 Met Gala you might've missed.

It’s not a Met Gala without Rihanna. The singer is basically as essential to the event as Anna Wintour herself, and the evening just doesn’t seem complete until she hits the red carpet. And while Rihanna arrived late, per usual, to the 2026 Met Gala, she didn’t deny us the drama for which she has become known, thank goodness.

Rihanna attended the Gala on Monday night in Maison Margiela Couture by Glenn Martens, inspired by a look from the designer’s fall/winter 2025 collection. Metallic fabric wrapped the singer’s legs in a column skirt before climbing up and encircling her upper torso, creating an opening to show off a jewel-encrusted turtleneck top. Diamond rings dotted her fingers while forty metal pin curls from Jennifer Behr covered her hair, mimicking the shape of the dress and adding an artful touch to the ensemble.

The best part about Rihanna’s Met Gala repertoire is that we never know what to expect. A silk, fur-lined coat? A pearl-covered pope? A deconstructed suit? Each year brings with it something different, and 2026 was no exception.

Of course, Rihanna was joined by her partner, A$AP Rocky, on the red carpet, and together, the two made for the most fashionable couple of the evening. For his part, Rocky wore a pink Chanel jacket-cum-house coat featuring a belt finished off with fringe and a feathered flower brooch. The pair’s looks were in no way coordinating, but they represented both of their respective styles, allowing each to shine in their own way.

We don’t know what Rihanna’s goals were for her look this evening, but perhaps she wanted to look “pretty,” like in 2019. Milliner Stephen Jones, who made Rihanna’s pope hat that year, asked the singer the simple question of how she wanted to look prior to the event. He recalled the moment recently to W. “She replied, 'Funny enough, nobody has asked me that,’” he said. Jones warned Rihanna of the hat’s weight, but the singer, always a pro, was unconcerned. “Have you seen the shoes?” she asked. “The hat is not the problem.” Tonight, then, must have been a breeze for her.

There’s nothing quite like coordinating outfits with your best friend—even for the Met Gala. While striding up the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s soaring steps this evening, Hailey Bieber, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Kendall Jenner each wore a sculptural breastplate. Of course, being the Met, their armor-like pieces were works of high fashion—or, as the 2026 dress code specified, fashion as art.

Kylie instantly made a statement while arriving to the museum in a sweeping Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown by Daniel Roseberry. Her custom design included a pale butter-toned, duchess satin skirt with a corset folded across it, mimicking the removal of clothing—and putting a clever spin on “naked” dressing.

The intricate design was covered in thousands of natural baroque pearls, sating stitch balls, and painted fish scales, which totaled over 11,000 hours of work, according to the brand. Kylie’s pièce de resistance, however, was a structured, corseted brown bustier crafted from brown toile that instantly brought body armor to mind. Her ensemble was finished with an antique bird head-accented silver necklace, as well as swinging chandelier earrings covered in pearls and crystals.

Meanwhile, Kendall brought a romantic take to the same look with her own breastplate and pale yellow dress, paired with small diamond drop earrings. The model’s structural, nude-toned bodice and off-the-shoulder gown actually hailed from Gap Studio. Zac Posen’s strategic draping and gathering created a cinched, smooth silhouette, akin to clothing often seen on statues.

True to her own style, Bieber chose a more minimalist approach for her own avant-garde breastplate. The Rhode founder’s Saint Laurent look prominently featured a bodice sculpted from 24-carat gold—the purest form of gold available. In fact, the piece marked the second time she’s worn high-fashion hardware by Saint Laurent, following a similar gold metal bra seen in a 2021 Harper’s Bazaar shoot.

Bieber’s sculptural bodice was framed by a long silk chiffon skirt and sheer lavallière scarf in rich blue hues. Small gold earrings and rings added subtle metallic accents, drawing focus immediately back to her high-fashion breastplate.

Jenner and Bieber’s breastplates certainly stood out—but they weren’t the only stars wearing the structured piece. Jenner’s older sister Kim Kardashian stepped out in a bright orange chrome style on the red carpet, while Jen Rubio wore a wooden version accented with carved monkeys. The style has been a standout at past Galas, with iterations in mother-of-pearl, gold metal, and wood seen on guests including Ariana Grande, Taylor Russell, Kiara Advani, and Lil Nas X in the past.

Both Bieber and Jenner’s breastplates embraced starkly different aesthetics, but took the armor-like piece to new heights. While numerous guests opted for sheer, bejeweled, or floral outfits at this year’s Met Gala, theirs stood out from a pure dedication to artisanal craft. After all, it takes a true fashion diehard to wear a solid gold bodice—whether on or off the red carpet.

Beyoncé has returned to the Met Gala for the first time in 10 years, and boy, did she make the wait worth it. The co-chair arrived fashionably late to the event on Monday night, not only with her husband, Jay-Z, in tow, but also with her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, by her side.

And while, for the most part, the 2026 Met Gala red carpet lacked the drama one would expect to come from a “Costume Art” theme, Beyoncé made sure to bring it tenfold thanks to Olivier Rousteing. The singer attended in a jewel-encrusted dress mimicking a skeleton, depicting her collarbone, spine, hands, and hips, before continuing down her legs in a column skirt. On top, a coat of gray ombré feathers trailed many feet behind her, necessitating a team of attendants to help her walk the stairs. A spike cap, covered in more crystals, and Chopard jewelry completed this over-the-top ensemble.

On the red carpet, Beyoncé spoke about her decision to work with Rousteing on the design, describing the former Balmain designer as “someone who has been so loyal to me.” She said the look is about “celebrating him” as well as all the “juicy, curvy, thin, tall” bodies. “Whatever God gave you.”

And if Beyoncé brought the theatrics, it was up to Blue to bring the chic glamour. The 14-year-old opted for a much more toned-down ensemble for her Met debut, wearing a white Balenciaga dress with a bubble hem that picked up at the front to reveal crystal-covered Jimmy Choo heels finished off with quartz. A matching cropped puffer and sunglasses upped the cool factor. Jay-Z, smartly, let the women in his life shine, and wore a simple black Louis Vuitton tux with tails and a double-breasted vest, topped with a Briony Raymond brooch.

Now, it is pretty surprising that Blue is on the Met Gala red carpet, as the event famously is limited to those 18 and up. Of course, if the Met is going to make an exception, it would be for Beyoncé’s offspring. Though likely Blue will just walk the steps and then head home for the night, as her parents go on inside to enjoy the festivities.

The last time Beyoncé attended the Met Gala was back in 2016 for the “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” themed event. She wore a latex dress by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy, a designer and brand she’d worked with for five straight Met appearances. And while she opted to go in a different direction for the 2026 iteration, this look does have shades of the black and purple look Tisci designed for the singer back in 2012. Clearly, Beyoncé loves jewels and she loves feathers, and we can’t blame her.

Blackpink is no stranger to the red carpet, and, yet, somehow all four members had never attended the same Met Gala. At least until tonight, when Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé had something of a reunion on fashion’s biggest night. It marked the first time that all four members of the South Korean girl group attended the event at the same time. For Jisoo, it was actually her Met Gala debut. In the process, each of their looks highlighted the “Costume Art”-themed evening’s range of red carpet trends, with plenty of sparkle in tow.

Lisa stepped out in a sweeping sheer white dress by Robert Wun, complete with a long-sleeved bodice and mermaid-style skirt. The pice glittered from sprinklings of white and silver crystals, but that wasn’t its most eye-catching element. White arm-shaped sculptures dripping in diamond bracelets were attached to the dress, holding up a matching veil over Lisa to form an abstract statement.

On a darker note, Rosé stepped out in a strapless black Saint Laurent gown by Anthony Vaccarello, featuring a bold thigh-high slit. The piece’s greatest statement came from a massive abstract brooch shaped like a Senfo hornbill, which was covered in dark crystals for added glamour. The bird itself frequently inspired Yves Saint Laurent, and famously appeared as a motif in his spring 1988 collection. The singer’s brooch smoothly aligned with the red carpet’s avian theme of birds and feathers while remaining distinctly minimalist. However, it wasn’t her look’s only glam factor; that went to her glistening diamond Tiffany & Co. collar necklace, whose layered jewels appeared to nod to the spreading of bird wings.

Meanwhile, Jennie opted for heavy metals in a shining Chanel dress. Her metallic column style, complete with a cinched bustier bodice, was fully overlaid with shimmering sequined leaves in a range of blue shades. The intricate piece took 540 hours to create, in tandem with creative director Matthieu Blazy’s passion for artisanal craftsmanship. A swinging diamond Chanel High Jewelry earring and diamond ring, complete with a crystal-covered clutch, finished her look with a burst of glamorous sparkle.

Jisoo rounded out the group in her blossoming Dior dress, a sequined style cast in hues of pink, purple, black, and white. The strapless piece was cinched by a sculptural layered waistline, accented—like its upper half—with cascading silk flowers in a similar palette. From far away, the dress appeared to feature a pattern of blossoming floral branches with petals floating down—with the illusion immediately being a work of art itself. A thin, crystal-lined choker and small diamond rings and earrings brought a bejeweled touch to her ensemble, which was one of the latest floral looks to hit the red carpet.

Altogether, Blackpink’s four members each delivered singular style statements while remaining in sync with the 2026 Met Gala’s key trends. Allover sparkle, sheer “naked” textures, avian and floral motifs, and sculptural accents have spread across this year’s carpet on a range of guests, from Nicole Kidman to Zoë Kravitz, Emma Chamberlain, and more. Together, Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé proved their penchant for keeping up with of-the-moment looks for fashion’s biggest night. Blackpink in your area, indeed.

Hunter Schafer is having an art-filled week. In Sunday’s episode of Euphoria, her character, Jules, recreated Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, turning the neo-impressionism masterpiece into a ghoulish scene too explicit for poor Lexie (Maude Apatow) or network television.

But on Monday, on a Met Gala red carpet filled with sheer and barely-there dresses, Schafer was one of the few attendees who opted for a more demure look. She also took the evening’s theme seriously, dressing like a figure straight out of art history.

Schafer arrived to the 2026 Met Gala in a custom Prada look inspired by Gustav Klimt’s 1912/1913 painting Mäda Primavesi. The portrait depicts the nine-year-old girl in a confident stance amid a colorful background, wearing a white dress by Klimt’s friend, couture designer Emilie Flöge, decorated with flowers. Appropriately, the painting is part of the museum’s permanent collection.

Like Primavesi, Schafer wore an empire-waist gown with a line of rosettes just under the bust. While Primavesi’s dress ended just under the knee in layers of ruffles, however, Schafer’s reached the floor. Holes and tears along the waist and skirt made the dress look almost as if it were falling apart. Underneath the linen fabric emerged a floral silk chiffon fabric that continued into a long train behind the actor that draped the steps as she ascended. Schafer finished the look with a bow in her hair just like Primavesi, and a simple face of makeup—pink cheeks and blue eyeshadow—that matched the nine-year-old's own pre-war glam.

The result is Schafer as Primavesi all grown up. Or, like the actor discovered the old Emilie Flöge dress tucked away in an attic, filled with holes after years of gathering dust, and brought it to Prada to refurbish.

The theme on Monday night was Costume Art, and many attendees opened up their old art history textbooks to find references for the evening. Schafer wasn’t the only attendee to dress like a figure who stepped right off a canvas. Artist Amy Sherald tasked Thom Browne to dress her like the young woman from her 2014 painting, Miss Everything (Unsuppressed Deliverance). While others, like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, embodied the infamous John Singer Sargent subject, Madame X. As a result, the evening is truly an art nerd’s dream. Surely, Jules would have enjoyed the festivities greatly.

When Nicole Kidman’s model daughter Sunday Rose Kidman Urban hit the runway for the first time in 2024, the fashion world knew she was destined for a major Met Gala debut. Now, not only has Kidman Urban made that debut—she’s done it with Kidman herself by her side. The moment was especially fitting as Kidman is one of co-chair for this year’s Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, honoring the Costume Institute’s newest exhibit “Costume Art.”

Tonight, the mother-daughter duo floated onto the green and cream carpet, each outfitted in ensembles ready to take flight. Kidman was strikingly clad in a ruby-red Chanel gown covered in sequins. Frothy feathers at her waist and cuffs delivered additional drama fit for the occasion.

Meanwhile, Kidman Urban took a garden-worthy approach in a light pink Dior gown. Her Jonathan Anderson-designed ensemble featured a structured, strapless bodice that created a peplum effect, covered in flared raffia flowers in shades of mauve, pink, and lavender. Small embroidered blooms on her gown’s draped skirt continued the theme, creating the illusion of flowers shedding their petals. That effect continued from head to toe with large silk statement earrings and raffia blossom-coated sandals. A pink Dior Bow clutch brought a sweet finish to Kidman Urban’s look.

Rose made her modeling debut back in 2024, but has quickly become a favorite at Anderson’s Dior. She walked Anderson’s womenswear debut for Dior last fall, and has already starred in numerous campaigns for the brand. On a recent episode of Las Culturistas, Kidman, a Chanel ambassador, explained she had nothing to do with her daughter’s recent success in modeling. “She loves fashion,” said Kidman. “She’s just walked the Dior show, which I have nothing to do with. Its her own world and her own relationship [with] Jonathan Anderson.”

The evening’s dress code, “Fashion is Art,” is one both mother and daughter clearly understood. Each of their dresses made use of expressive textures and shapes, all while highlighting plenty of color and sparkle. The moment also marked Kidman’s latest outing with Chanel after being named one of its new ambassadors under creative director Matthieu Blazy—whose debut show she and Kidnam Urban attended together during Fashion Month last fall. Plus, the pair’s early arrival also hinted at flowers—a constant source of inspiration for artists and designers over the centuries—already being a top theme for this year’s Met Gala red carpet.

Kidman certainly knows a thing or two about dressing for the Gala as one of its longest-running guests, and it’s clear Kidman Urban’s following in her footsteps. After all, mother knows best.

There’s only one event that boasts a guest list that includes Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Sabrina Carpenter, Lisa, and Zoë Kravitz: the Met Gala. They’re just a few of the A-list names expected to walk the red carpet for the 2026 event. The chair committee alone is enough to rival the red carpet at the Oscars. This year, the theme of the evening is “Costume Art,” an exploration of how the body and clothing are represented in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s vast collection. The dress code further clarifies red carpet expectations. Guests were asked to consider the idea that “Fashion is Art” when choosing their looks for the evening. Basically, tonight, the body is a canvas and designers are the artists bringing it to life.

So, expect a surplus of art-inspired ensembles, as well as looks that feature more skin than fabric. Naked dressing has been a popular choice at the Met for years now, and with the theme literally mentioning the body, it will no doubt also be prevalent tonight. At an event like the Met Gala, everyone is vying for attention, but it will be hard to get it with Beyoncé on the red carpet. It’s the singer’s first Met in over a decade, so all eyes are undoubtedly trained on Queen B, who is acting as a co-chair, alongside Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour.

Of course, the question is, what will Beyoncé wear? Will she opt for Saint Laurent, a sponsor of the event? Or, maybe she will tap Givenchy for the sixth time. Plus, will she take the opportunity of the night to announce her new album, as many people expect? This is the Met Gala, and anything can happen. You won’t want to miss a beat—not a heel, a headpiece, nor a bowtie. So, check back here for all of the celebrity red carpet looks from the 2026 Met Gala.

The “ladies who lunch” have a bold new member: Zoë Kravitz. Last night, the actor channeled socialite style for a pre-Met Gala dinner at Anna Wintour’s home. While she referenced the uptown girls of yore, Kravitz chose to ditched their hallmark pearls, sweater sets, and low-slung heels entirely, favoring a sultrier aesthetic instead.

For the event, Kravitz stepped out in a full Saint Laurent look by Anthony Vaccarello—who she’ll be co-chairing the Gala’s host committee with this evening. Her ensemble, hailing from the designer’s fall 2026 collection, featured a shimmering gold cable-knit cardigan with a fluffy brown fur collar and cuffs. The glamorous knitwear was layered over a gauzy yellow miniskirt, complete with gold floral embroidery mimicking the swirling patterns of vintage lace.

Kravitz leaned into her look’s warm tones with a brown suede flap clutch, also from Saint Laurent. Its greatest edge, however, came from her glossy slingback pumps—a dynamic style with dramatically elongated toes, all crafted from clear PVC. Dark, oval-shaped sunglasses added to the nonchalantly cool feel of Kravitz’s personal style. Of course, her outfit wasn’t complete without her newest accessory from fiancé Harry Styles: a sparkling Jessica McCormack engagement ring, set with an eye-catching 9-carat diamond.

While Kravitz’s outfit included classic core “ladies who lunch” separates, the pieces’ drama was far from the preppy attire seen on groups at Le Bilboquet and Ladurée. In fact, her attire’s touches of glitz and see-through textures gave her look a sensual edge. It also cleverly nodded to spring’s “naked” dressing trend that’s extended to lace and sheer fabrics, which Met host committee member Sabrina Carpenter explored at the same dinner.

Kravitz’s ensemble emphasized her penchant for edgy and unexpected statements, which goes hand-in-hand with the effortless cool of her street style. As proven by her last ten Met Gala red carpets, the star’s never shied away from taking a risk—whether through chainmail, high-slit lace, or skin-baring crystals. Her dinnertime look cemented that streak, while affirming there’s always more to her outfits than meets the eye—a theme that’s sure to continue with tonight’s “Fashion is Art” dress code on the Met steps.

Have you ever tried this one? Ahead of this year’s Met Gala, Sabrina Carpenter stepped out for a dinner at Anna Wintour’s home thrown for the night’s committee and co-chairs, putting a formal twist on her current aesthetic. How did she dress up her go-to vintage bombshell look for today, you may ask? With a little bit of silk and plenty of lace.

On Sunday evening, Carpenter wore a swirling black silk minidress. A sheer bodice crafted from floral lace layered over a nude-toned bra helped mix elegance with just a little bit of “naked” dressing. Which is appropriate, considering this year’s Met Gala theme highlights the connection between art, fashion, and the human form.

Carpenter leaned into her vintage-inspired formality with a ladylike black satin clutch, complete with a curved metal top handle. The singer’s look was finished with classic diamond drop earrings, as well as a smooth pair of black leather almond-toed pumps.

While still embracing her recent love for ‘60s glamour, Carpenter’s look was both classic and fitting for the occasion. In recent months, the singer’s looks across both on screen and on stage have referenced pin-up girls, boudoir dressing, and Hollywood productions from Thelma & Louise to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Her latest ensemble’s textures and versatile accents retained those romantic, sultry elements while still being dressed-up and polished for the glamorous affair.

Carpenter’s outing preceded her latest turn at the Met Gala, where she’ll serve as a member of the event’s host committee for the first time. This year’s committee, co-chaired by Anthony Vaccarello and Zoë Kravitz, will also include Sam Smith, Doja Cat, and A’ja Wilson. With Beyoncé, Venus Williams, Nicole Kidman, and Wintour co-chairing the occasion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it’s certain to be a fashion-forward night to remember.

Of course, with three Met Gala red carpets already under her belt, Carpenter’s no stranger to dressing for the event’s interpretive themes over the years. How her vintage aesthetic transforms for the Met steps this evening—or if she’ll opt for a new look entirely—remains to be seen.

The new episode opens where we left off: with Rue in the back of a cop car waxing poetic on the nature of truth while a DEA agent and a dog search her car. As the blue and red lights flash on Rue’s forlorn face, and the K9 gets a positive on the drugs in her trunk, Rue spells out her predicament (and the theme of the episode): “People love to argue about the truth. Some say it’s just the facts. Others say it’s what’s right. Some even claim there’s no real truth at all, just opinions. While we may disagree about what the truth is, we all know when we’re telling a lie.”

She finds herself telling multiple lies as she’s fingerprinted and brought into a brightly lit room to be questioned. The DEA knows that she knows Laurie, and they know she’s been to Mexico. They even have photo evidence of her talking to a cartel member. Rue does her best to lie her way out of the situation, but she’s terrible at it. Soon, they’re telling her she’s facing 20 years in prison without parole—at least—with an additional 20 for every death she might’ve been involved in. After breaking down in tears, Rue cuts a deal. “And that is how I became a snitch,” she narrates.

The DEA gives Rue her bag back, but not before swapping out the drugs for sugar pills and laxatives. She heads back to the club, waiting for them to “be in touch.” She’s so freaked out that she can’t even be bothered to check out Alamo’s newest worker, a girl posing in a thong that we come to know as Kitty from Kansas (Anna Van Patten). Alamo is happy because he believes he’s destroyed Laurie by killing her bird, Paladin. He wants to celebrate by taking Kitty into a backroom and having sex with her, and it’s even more ominous than usual.

In a flashback, we get more details on Rue’s deal with the DEA. They hope the fake drugs will lead Alamo back to Laurie. They also installed an app on her phone to track everything and keep her bugged. The catch is that she needs to keep her phone out in the open to capture everything, which could easily be read as suspicious. She opts for a very conspicuous fanny pack that gets put in a safe. Things are not looking great for Rue, as usual.

Things also aren’t looking great for Nate, but he seems delusional about his fate. Back at the mansion, we see the newlywed sitting on his couch with stitches on his face and his bruised, bloodied toe sewn back onto his foot. “The toe is a metaphor,” he tells Cassie. “I thought that I’d lost it forever. But we were smart. We put it on ice. We took it to the hospital. And they were able to put it back on.” The metaphor, he tells a skeptical Cassie, is that “when you break something, you gotta pick up the pieces.” In other words, it’s them. Cassie sees things differently. As she kneels down to tend to his wound, she tells him that, actually, “the toe is never going to be the same.” The metaphor doesn’t mean what Nate wants it to mean. Nate is motivated by the toe to “build back better,” but Cassie points out that everything Nate has built has been built upon a lie. He finally admits one truth to her: the real amount he owes is a million dollars. “You have to keep faith in me, us, our life,” Nate says. But according to Cassie, “The fairytale’s over.”

Having been brutally let down by one love of her life, Cassie calls the other—“the one person that could help her,” according to Rue. Cassie packs her bags and leaves Nate in shag-carpet misery, telling him she’s “going to work” and jumping in Maddy’s fabulous convertible while a pair of young girls that resemble the two old friends look on. “Let’s do something about your look,” Maddy says. Finally. Maddy assembles a team to take Cassie from “the suburbs to the city,” and as the two drink champagne, Cassie gets a makeover to become her fully realized version of a glambot; the pair drives down Hollywood Boulevard in Thelma & Louise-style bliss.

We head over to the studio lot, where Lexi is offering Jules a work opportunity (at least something good came out of that wedding). She wants to commission Jules to make a painting for LA Nights, which gets 7 million viewers a week. Lexi explains that the character is inspired, improbably, by Georges Seurat, so they want Jules’s take on something in that vein. Presented with a blank canvas, Jules goes to work, and, unfortunately, her vision does not match what Lexi and her boss, Patty (Sharon Stone), wanted—to say the least. She’s painted a disturbing take on A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, one that includes no fewer than 14 penises. Lexi tells her boss that Jules is trans, you see, and can’t be blamed for having such a unique vision. Despite being horrified by her work, the team handles her with kid gloves. Jules can’t fix it in time, and the scene gets pushed to the following week.

Lexi gets chewed out by her boss, who explains that Lexi’s failure to communicate with Jules cost them an hour and a half of shooting, or $56,000, or $191,000 total, all things considered. As Lexi chokes back tears, she tells her not to be a “net negative.” It feels like a meta commentary on Levinson’s own history. The first season of Euphoria famously included a scene with so many penises that it became the main headline about the show; plus, Levinson’s work on The Idol, not to mention Euphoria itself, has been plagued with delays, reshoots, and going over budget. It’s a hard lesson for Lexi to learn, and Jules, too, who takes the painting home and destroys it with red paint.

Back at Laurie’s ranch, there’s a very somber bird funeral for Paladin. Laurie’s crew vows to get revenge on Alamo. The DEA agents call Rue and threaten her with going to prison if she can’t arrange a meeting between the mortal enemies, even when she explains they’re unlikely to ever do business together again. She offers to set up a buy with a different dealer.

We learn that Cassie has taken up residence at Lexi’s apartment while she works on getting famous. She pawned her wedding ring—“took the cash, and invested it in herself,” Rue narrates. Maddy helps her create content by the pool, and Lexi is shocked by how much money women and girls make online. (Maddy cites Bhad Bhabie as an example for making $53 million her first year on OF after turning 18.) Rue shows up out of the blue and tells Maddy she needs drugs—coke, molly, heroin—“for her boss.” Lexi is again scandalized, thinking that Rue is using again (well, to be fair, she is). “Do you guys hear yourselves right now? What is wrong with you right now?” Lexi asks. “You’re looking for drugs, you’re selling yourself on your porn site, and you’re like some Internet pimp? It’s sad, and it’s pathetic, and it’s really disturbing, honestly,” she says, before storming off. As always, Lexi’s not wrong.

Nate finds himself before the permit board, quoting the Bible and begging for reconsideration of his Sunset Settlers plan. He does his best to ask whether they can rebuild around the endangered flowers, but the motion is denied. Nate goes off on the board, asking them if they’re trying to ruin his life; he literally gets on his hands and knees to beg, but they aren’t budging. He breaks down in tears, sobbing on the floor. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Back at Alamo’s house, Rue is playing poker with Alamo and the guys while the DEA listens to her tapped phone. She starts nervously questioning Alamo about where they’re going to get drugs now that Laurie isn’t an option, and offers a connect in Mexico. Alamo isn’t buying what she’s selling, and quickly becomes skeptical, telling her “something doesn’t add up,” and asking why she would ask him “something so catastrophically dumb.” Rue is literally and figuratively sweating, as Alamo accuses her of hiding something.

Rue says she’s got a good poker hand, but Alamo accuses her of having a look in her eye “like a motherfucking rat.” Luckily, though, he just thinks she’s using again. Relieved, Rue goes all in on her hand and celebrates her win, with Alamo warning her to stay away from hard drugs.

Back at the club, Rue removes Angel’s name from her locker. Sadly, it doesn’t look like she’s coming back from that scary rehab place. Magick (Rosalía, with a bigger role this episode) says Angel “disappeared” and “ran away from rehab.” But, she says, “life goes on.” Kitty takes her locker instead and dances for the crowd while Rue watches, unsettled. “It’s almost like Angel knew she was never coming back,” Rue narrates. “And just like Tish, everyone would soon forget.”

Dressed in a backless catsuit with matching gloves, Cassie hops in an Uber with Maddy, who purrs approvingly, “You look good, bitch.” Maddy is taking Cassie to the house of someone named Brandon Fontaine (Jeff Wahlberg). She tells Cassie that he has 20 million followers, and their goal is to get him to post a video of Cassie looking hot. They make their way through the crowd in a scene reminiscent of early Euphoria high school parties.

Maddy gives Cassie her best pep talk about dealing with Brandon and his scene: “All he cares about is pussy. You’re gonna tempt him with pussy, you’re not gonna give him pussy. The moment you do, he’ll never speak to you again.” She directs her further: “Don’t trust these girls. These bitches are dogs. Stray dogs.” Cassie is the “cute new bitch” on the block. “Stay sharp, stay focused, and let’s fucking win.” Cassie says it feels like they’re going to war, and Maddy smiles deviously.

Cassie does her best work, getting up on a table and dancing and making out with another girl to draw attention to herself. It works, and she jumps up and down as he puts her on film. There’s a stark juxtaposition with a scene back at the club, where a group of youngish dudes in polos and backward caps have taken Kitty into a private room to have rough sex with her while they high-five and slap each other’s asses. Rue watches on the surveillance camera, again rattled.

It turns out the girl Cassie made out with is Katelyn, the TikToker that Maddy turned into a porn star earlier in the season before being forced to drop her. Cassie goes off with Brandon and Katelyn to do drugs (“I love coke,” Cassie says brightly). They go up to Brandon’s room, and as Katelyn has Brandon sniff coke out of her belly button, Maddy bangs on the door in a callback to the infamous bathroom episode from season two. Cassie jumps in and does the drugs first, and they hit her a little too hard as she screams and gets Brandon to do a line off her crotch. Ever the hustler, Maddy returns to the locked door with a crew of guys with cameras in tow. Just as Brandon takes his shirt off and straddles Cassie, Maddy bursts into the room with the cameras, and Cassie blows a kiss to the camera, saying, “It’s me, Cassie, and that’s my handle.” As Cassie’s phone blows up with followers, Maddy tells her, “You got their attention, now you gotta keep it.”

Rue finds Kitty in the bathroom, swilling mouthwash and asking for ketamine. Rue asks her if she wants to be doing this, and if she’s being forced. But Kitty just says, “I like to dance.” Magick comes whistling out of a stall, having heard everything, and it’s hard to know if she’s friend or foe. She immediately tells Big Eddy what she heard Rue asking Kitty. “I don’t trust this bitch,” she tells him.

Rue enters the office where Big Eddy is sitting with Magick, and her “Mom,” or the DEA, starts calling her phone. She picks up, and they tell her what just happened, that she’s been compromised. As she does her best to discredit Magick, a group of masked, armed men break into the club—Laurie’s crew, presumably. They put a gun to Rue and Magick’s heads, telling Big Eddy to open the safe. He doesn’t and is totally willing to let them die. But instead, the gunman shoots him in the stomach. As he bleeds out painfully, with his blood spattered over Rue’s face, they threaten him again: “It’s either your balls, or the motherfucking safe.” Big Eddy gives up the safe, opening it for them. They take what’s inside and run, giggling, to their getaway truck.

Rue calls Bishop, who tells her that rather than take Big Eddy to the hospital, they need to check the cameras for footage. Magick says the driver is a woman with “gigantic lips”—who could it be, but Faye? Rue immediately gives her up as Laurie’s worker, and the war is officially on.
