Sabrina Carpenter Avoided Her Ex Barry Keoghan All Night Long at the Met Gala

In 2024, Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Met Gala. This year, they both attended the event again—but notably kept their distance. No photos or videos of the two interacting at the event or any of its after-parties have surfaced.

Carpenter arrived earlier in the evening, walking the red carpet solo in a striking burgundy Louis Vuitton bodysuit:

Keoghan, meanwhile, wore a custom Valentino ensemble. Some outlets noted its resemblance to Ringo Starr’s iconic look—fitting, as the Irish actor is set to portray the Beatles drummer in the upcoming Beatles biopics. The outfit also evoked the flamboyant fashion of the band’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band era.

He was snapped socializing with Lorde and Joey King on the red carpet:

Later in the night, Carpenter attended A$AP Rocky’s Met Gala after-party, swapping her red carpet look for a sharp ensemble: a white top, a black skinny tie, black trousers, and a dramatic yellow Louis Vuitton coat. She didn’t arrive alone, either—she entered alongside her “Taste” music video co-star Jenna Ortega. For those inclined to read between the lines, “Taste” is a breakup song—though it’s widely speculated to be about Carpenter’s other ex Shawn Mendes.

Ortega and Carpenter were also spotted hanging out inside the Met Gala:

It was a night for the girls all around—Carpenter was also photographed with Sadie Sink:

News of Carpenter and Keoghan’s breakup broke in early December. A source told Entertainment Tonight that “things didn’t end well, and they are taking space from each other. Sabrina and Barry are definitely broken up right now. Sabrina isn’t sad over the breakup and is staying busy and distracted. Sabrina is figuring out what she wants and is focused on her career.”
