'Prince Harry spotted at the Met Gala': Jaws dropped when this familiar-looking redhead appeared
The world just did a double-take after spotting what appeared to be Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, on the Met Gala 2025 red carpet.
All cameras were trained on musician Bad Bunny as he walked into the lavish event when suddenly what seemed to be a very familiar head of red hair appeared behind her.
Dressed in a dark suit, the man could be seen over his shoulder on the Vogue livestream and viewers genuinely couldn't believe their eyes for a moment.

"Is that Prince Harry?" hundreds of viewers asked.

In one photo, he could be seen helping Diana Ross arrange her huge white train as she posed for pictures on the stairs of the Met.
Naturally, fans went into a spin on social media when they realised the unassuming member of Met Gala staff was a doppelganger for the British prince.
"Oh no why're they making prince harry work at the Met Gala carpet," one person wrote alongside a screenshot of the man on X.

This year's Met Gala exhibit, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' is inspired by Monica L. Miller's book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
The Met says the show "presents a cultural and historical examination of Black style from the 18th century to today through the lens of dandyism."

Meanwhile, the dress code for Met Gala attendees – historically related to the exhibit but slightly different – is 'Tailored for You', a nod to the focus on menswear and suits that comes with 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style'.
The Harry lookalike was dressed to theme in a classic black suit ... but that might just be because it's the standard security uniform.
