Welcome to Refinery29 Loves, the monthly news bulletin where you’ll find our editor-approved lineup of the best to shop and see in fashion and beauty right now.

The arrival of the first Monday in May meant one thing: The 2025 Met Gala returned to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The annual fashion event celebrated the Costume Institute’s newest exhibition — “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired by Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity by Monica L. Miller — and saw Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, A$AP Rocky and Pharrell Williams join Anna Wintour as co-chairs, as well as Doechii, Ayo Edebiri, Janelle Monáe, Tyla and more as part of the host committee.

Following the night, we turned our attention to the new fashion and beauty launches making waves this month. From a new spring scent to a major designer collaboration, click through the slideshow ahead to learn about everything that landed this May.
