Peanut butter and jelly is a time-honored (and timeless) combo. Plus, peanut butter can be used for so much more than low-effort, highly tasty sandwiches. It's great for dipping apples, carrots and celery (elevating all three, if we're being honest). Peanut butter is a delicious spread for breakfast foods like apples and can be added to smoothies for protein. 

While peanut butter has health benefits, what if you have a seemingly uncontrollable urge to eat it, you might be asking, "Why am I craving peanut butter?" That's a good question. A peanut butter craving—like any hankering—is a message from your body.

"Cravings are our body’s way of letting us know that we need something," says Julia Zumpano, RD, of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Human Nutrition. "Some foods are designed to be craved—certain ingredients create a heavy hit on certain pleasure centers in your brain, such as ice cream, pizza or chips." 

What about peanut butter cravings, though? Peanut butter has nutritional benefits, like fiber and protein, and it's a true pleasure to eat.

It depends on the type of peanut butter you want. "When you crave real whole foods, such as natural peanut butter, our bodies are trying to tell us something," Zumpano clarifies. Keep in mind that if you are craving processed peanut butter, AKA peanut butter spread, which is peanut butter with added oils, salt and sugar, then it’s the additives that you may be craving, not the peanuts themselves."

OK, so what's the deal? Here's what to know about your peanut butter or peanut craving and what to do next.

Why Do I Crave Peanut Butter? 5 Reasons for Peanut Butter Cravings1. Your body wants more protein

Two tablespoons of peanut butter contain about 7 grams of protein—a vital part of a diet.

"Over time inadequate protein intake can lead to muscle loss, weight loss or gain, thinning hair, decreased immune system, anemia, swelling and fatigue," Zumpano says. "If you are not consuming enough protein, cravings are more likely. If this is overlooked, it can lead to continuous overconsumption of fats, carbs or calories due to not being satisfied because protein allows you to feel full."

Speaking of which...

2. You're restricting other vital needs 

Peanut butter contains plant-based polyunsaturated fats and carbohydrates that help you feel feel and energetic. However, you may be following a diet that's low in fat or carbs in an attempt to lose weight.

"Sometimes individuals who follow very low-fat diets or restrict fat entirely may crave peanut butter to help fill the dietary fat gap that is otherwise missing," says Lena Bakovic, MS, RDN, CNSC, a registered dietitian with Top Nutrition Coaching specializing in chronic disease, weight management, gut health, oncology and general health and wellness. "Likewise, low carbohydrate diets, which are very common in diet culture, may also produce peanut butter cravings, as peanut butter is naturally low in carbohydrate content but, depending on the brand, may have a slightly sweet taste, which fills the missing carbohydrate nutrient gap."

Or, you may just be worried about the three-digit calorie count—but the body needs calories.

"Peanut butter is very calorie-dense, and when we’re very hungry, we often seek out higher-calorie foods. Peanut butter is also easily accessible and requires very little time and prep to eat," says Alex Larson, RD, Larson a registered dietitian.

3. You're stressed out and looking for comfort

Your peanut butter craving may have little to do with physical health.

"Peanut butter is often associated with childhood and happy memories," says Nancy Cooper, RDN, LD, CDCES, a registered dietitian nutritionist & Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist at the Molly Diabetes Education Center at Hackensack University Medical Center. "Craving it could be a way of seeking comfort or nostalgia," 

One reason for that quest for comfort and nostalgia? You might be having some mental health issues.

"Some people turn to comfort foods like peanut butter during times of stress or emotional distress," says Trista Best, RD, a registered dietitian and adjunct nutrition professor. "The creamy texture and rich flavor of peanut butter can provide a sense of comfort and satisfaction, temporarily alleviating feelings of anxiety or tension."

It's understandable, but Best suggests trying to determine the cause of your stress and using other coping mechanisms.

"Relying on peanut butter or other high-calorie comfort foods as a coping mechanism for stress can lead to unhealthy eating habits and weight gain over time," Best explains. 

4. Blame it on your hormones

People who get periods may find peanut butter cravings increase at certain times of the month. "Women may experience peanut butter cravings during their menstrual cycle due to hormonal fluctuations," Cooper says.

Larson adds that these cravings often occur in the "luteal" phase between ovulation and your period, explaining, "Tracking your cycle and being prepared with protein-rich snacks can help curb that appetite."

5. Texture and taste

It may be as simple as wanting the taste and texture of peanut butter.

"The creamy, smooth texture of peanut butter can be appealing to some individuals, providing a satisfying mouthfeel and sensory experience," Best says.

It's OK to indulge, but Best says portion control is key to ensuring a balanced diet, explaining, "While enjoying peanut butter in moderation is generally fine, excessive consumption can lead to consuming too many calories and potentially contribute to weight gain."

Is It Bad to Have Constant Peanut Butter Cravings?

The experts we spoke with prefer not to label cravings. "It's not bad or good to crave a food," Zumpano says. "What's most important is that you understand the reason for the craving and make changes to reduce and address the cravings."

For instance, is your peanut butter craving triggered by ultra-processed ingredients or nutrient deficiencies? 

"The kind of peanut butter that leads to cravings is the processed kind, which can lead to inflammation due to the unhealthy fats, sugars and processed additives," Zumpano continues. "Choose natural peanut butter by reading the ingredient list—the only ingredient necessary is the peanuts. Salt is optional."

How Much Peanut Butter Is Too Much?

It depends on the person and your overall diet. "A serving size of peanut butter is 2 tablespoons, and while peanut butter does offer protein and healthy fat, it can add up quickly in calories, which can potentially contribute to unwanted weight gain," Larson says. "There are certain situations where someone may want those additional calories, so it really will depend on the individual in what would constitute as too much peanut butter."

Generally, Zumpano suggests sticking to the 2-tablespoon serving size if you're trying to maintain or lose weight.

How to Stop Peanut Butter and Peanut Cravings (Besides 'Indulging')1. Look at your diet

While craving peanut butter isn't necessarily bad, you may want to quiet the food noise. First things first, think about your overall diet.

"One of the first things to consider in helping quell peanut butter cravings is to assess if one’s diet may be insufficient in healthy fats, fiber, protein and water intake," Bakovic says. "Consuming sufficient amounts of protein and fiber throughout the day is [useful] in helping us to [feel] fuller for longer...and also quell cravings for sugary, salty, or high in fat foods such as is found in certain types of peanut butter."

2. Food swaps

If you're craving texture, consider creamy (and yummy) alternatives once you've had your fill of peanut butter for the day (generally 2 tablespoons).

"To satisfy texture cravings without overdoing it on peanut butter, individuals can explore alternative foods with similar textures, such as Greek yogurt, hummus or avocado," Best suggests.

3. Reduce stress

Ward off emotional eating by addressing the root cause of your stress or distress and treating that. Best suggests trying physical activity, relaxation techniques and seeking support from friends and family. A therapist can also help you find strategies that work for you.

What Happens at Yoga Retreats?

YogaWorks instructor Ashley Lorenzo shares that yoga retreats provide a unique opportunity to deepen your self-awareness through daily yoga practices.

Radha Metro-Midkiff, Executive Director at Integral Yoga Institute New York, adds, "Common elements include daily yoga classes, meditation sessions, healthy meals, and opportunities for personal growth and relaxation. Some retreats may also offer additional activities like hiking, spa treatments and cultural excursions."

How Do I Find the Perfect Retreat?

When searching for your dream yoga retreat, Metro-Midkiff suggests, "Consider what you hope to gain from the retreat. Are you looking for relaxation, to deepen your practice, or perhaps to explore spiritual aspects of yoga? Make sure the retreat caters to your skill level, whether you're a beginner or looking for advanced practice. Decide if you're looking for a remote getaway or a more accessible location. Consider the climate, the scenery and the type of accommodations."

What to Bring to a Yoga Retreat

Metro-Midkiff says the basics are your yoga mat, suitable clothes for yoga and meditation, as well as leisure wear and something warm. “Lastly, bring an open mind,” she says. “Be prepared to embrace new experiences, people, and perspectives."

Natalie Sullivan, CEO and Founder of The Retreater, emphasizes comfort: "When packing for a yoga retreat, [I] always recommend packing with comfort in mind. On a retreat, everyone is very relaxed even in the evenings so make sure you have plenty of loungewear, slippers, a good book and all of your self care essentials packed so you can really indulge in your time away."

That all being said, the retreat leaders will usually tell you exactly what to bring—and if they don’t, you can always ask for specific recommendations.

Fans hoped that Blake Lively would make her grand return to the 2024 Met Gala, but after she did not attend the event, fans couldn't help but express how disappointed they were.

The actress—who previously skipped out on the 2023 event as well after serving as a co-host in 2022—may not have hit the red carpet, but her absence definitely got a huge reaction out of fans, who took to social media to air their grievances.

Still, the 36-year-old is no stranger to the Met Gala, having first made her grand appearance at the extravagant event in 2008, shortly after she propelled to stardom as the “it” girl Serena van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl.

Since then, she’s been a staple at the high fashion gathering, often turning heads with glamorous and tasteful looks, including her striking 2022 Versace architecture-inspired gown, which morphed from a copper color to turquoise halfway into her entrance at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

"So I arrived in copper, and then it [patinated] to a verdigris," Lively told E! News at the time, noting that the transformation paid tribute to the Statue of Liberty’s changing appearance and lent itself to the theme inspired by The Gilded Age.

Lively and Ryan Reynolds also served as co-hosts of the event that year, and she was accompanied by her husband, who donned a classic tuxedo designed by Ralph Lauren, ensuring that his wife remained the star of the show.

Along with regulars like Zendaya, Cardi B and Kendall Jenner, the 2024 Met Gala also featured actress Meg Ryan's big return to the fashion event after 23 years. 

Ryan looked ageless as she arrived on the iconic carpet in a stunning sleeveless black gown from designer Michael Kors with a sheer top covered in sequined floral embellishments that swirled down the rest of the dress in a reference to the "Garden of Time" theme. 

While she accessorized in colorful jewelry, the 62-year-old went for a simple makeup look and wore her hair in her signature wavy bob. At one point, designer Kors joined her for some photos, with the two posing in matching dark sunglasses. The actress looked relaxed and confident at the event, surrounded by other guests like Dua Lipa and Gabrielle Union.

The Sleepless in Seattle star's appearance at the 2024 event marks her first time attending the Met Gala since 2001 when the theme was "Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years."

At the time, Ryan experienced extreme success in her career after making her mark as the queen of romantic comedies, with the hit film You've Got Mail, also starring Tom Hanks, coming out only a few years before in 1998.

Over two decades later, Ryan has made her return to both the Met Gala and romantic movies, starring in the 2023 film What Happens Later with David Duchovny. The two play exes who reconnect after getting snowed in at an airport.

With any luck, Ryan will continue to act in more projects and maybe make a return to the Met Gala next year with a new look.

Instead of dressing to the nines ahead of the 2024 Met Gala, Chrissy Teigen donned a neck brace.

On Monday, May 6, the model and cookbook author took to her Instagram Story with a pair of concerning photos showing her in a white cervical collar. "@the Met!" she joked in one photo while confessing in another, "I tried to do a headstand."

Teigen's picture update clearly concerned fans, as she soon returned with a pair of video clarifications.

"Oh my god, I'm fine. Everybody is reaching out. I'm OK," she said to the camera. "It's a CVS neck band. And I just can't rotate my neck because I tried to do a headstand, and it didn't go well. That's all. There's no story, I promise."

OMG, Chrissy. pic.twitter.com/hVJBieeA1L

Teigen later added, "This is not why I'm not at the Met. I was never going to the Met this year. Please. I'm so stupid for having made this a thing."

It's been a minute since she attended the fundraising event for The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2017, Teigen and her husband, John Legend, last walked the red carpet ahead of the Met Gala while sporting coordinating cream-colored looks.

Back then, Teigen and Legend only had one child. The couple now has four kids—Luna, 8, Miles, almost 6, Esti, 16 months, and Wren, 11 months—making it a tad more difficult to slip away for the red-carpet event. Either that or they just opted out/didn't get an invite.

Whatever the reason for Teigen to sit out the 2023 Met Gala, we're glad it's not because of a serious neck injury!

A photo of Rihanna from the Met Gala is circulating online, but the Queen of the event wasn't even in attendance.

Year after year, the "Diamonds" hitmaker stuns in perfectly themed ensembles that hit it out of the park for the annual event, turning heads as she makes her (usually fashionably late) appearance on the red carpet.

But unfortunately, this year was different, as the mom of two never showed up. Still, that didn't stop fans from creating an AI image of what her interpretation of the theme may have been. Alongside it, an AI photo of Katy Perry, who was also not in attendance.

For the 2024 function, held traditionally on the first Monday of May at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rihanna was nowhere in sight, as fans and viewers of the high profile function awaited her arrival.

According to People, who received intel from a source, the reason she skipped out on the outing is due to an illness—it seems she is feeling under the weather after coming down with the flu.

The Bajan billionaire had previously teased her ensemble during a Fenty Beauty event in April, saying she planned to keep it "very simple."

The Met Gala—also called the Costume Institute Gala or the Costume Institute Benefit and also known as the Met Ball—is an annual charity event and fundraiser for The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.

The event's theme was "The Garden of Time," and the dress code was inspired by the 2024 Costume Institute exhibit, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," which will open on May 10 and features 250 items from the department's permanent collection.

While Rihanna was one of the event's cohosts in 2018, this year's lineup included Zendaya, who sported two different looks, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny.

As expected, the 2024 Met Gala's "Garden of Time" dress code drew plenty of floral ensembles to the red carpet. But no look is complete without a hairdo or headpiece to complement it (especially if you're Sarah Jessica Parker). 

Keep reading for a look at some of the most memorable neck-up moments of the night.

Kim Kardashian arrived at the 2024 Met Gala ready to pose for photographers in a stunning display that had fans wondering how she could even breathe. 

On Monday, May 6, Kardashian walked the red carpet while donning a Maison Margiela corset and a John Galliano cardigan. 

The mother of four’s look appeared to fit in with this year’s gala theme, “The Garden of Time,” thanks to her silver metal skirt that featured flowers and leaves. The Met Gala's theme serves as a nod to the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, which this year is called Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.

On X, fans slammed Kardashian's corseted look, which cinched her waist to an impossibly tiny size. 

One person declared, "umm her poor intestines," while another pointed out, "She looks like she’s about to pass out," in a video of Kardashian posing for photos.

Meanwhile, another X user declared, "Literally so gross she can’t even close her mouth bc she can’t breathe. Such a gross beauty standard to set."

Someone else predicted, "She’s 100% going to have bruises all around her body."

After the 2024 Met Gala's theme was revealed, some social media users suggested its focus on “the fragility and ephemerality of fashion” could be a subtle dig at Kardashian inspired by her 2022 Met Gala outfit. That year, she wore one of Marilyn Monroe’s famous dresses and sparked rumors that she had damaged the gown while wearing it.

Despite the theory that spread on TikTok earlier this year, some detractors said the thought of the event theme being a nod to Kardashian’s 2022 outfit choice was “such a stretch."

Ahead of the 2024 Met Gala, Cardi B explained that her strategy was to “be iconic”—as always, she more than delivered on that promise.

Known for pushing the boundaries of fashion, the “Punteria” rapper turned heads as she stepped out in a striking gown for the high-fashion event. This year, Cardi wore an all-black strapless dress with a huge skirt that fanned out around her and literally took over the entire carpet.

The gown also featured a fluttery neckline that defied gravity, forming a V to frame the stunning diamond and emerald necklace and earrings Cardi wore. As the rapper changed angles to pose for other photographers on the carpet, nine people had to work together to lift and move the dress' massive skirt.

The look has been months in the making, thanks to her stylist Kollin Carter, as the duo worked tirelessly to pay tribute to the evening's theme celebrating the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” and the official dress code “The Garden of Time."

“We’re always thinking ahead,” the 31-year-old previously told The Hollywood Reporter, adding, “We always try to make sure that everything goes right, that everything be iconic. We want everything to be iconic. I know people sometimes be like, ‘Oh, it’s not about who is there and who is not,’ but it’s like, no, you need to remember us forever.”

Cardi—full name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar—made her debut at the Met Gala in 2018, paying tribute to the “Heavenly Bodies” theme in a bedazzled regal Moschino gown—escorted by the designer Jeremy Scott—as she cradled her growing baby bump.

She upstaged herself the following year, delivering a head-turning look in a burgundy Thom Browne gown accentuated with feathers, a bedazzled headpiece, and a quilted train.

In 2022, Cardi put her curves on display in a chain link gold dress by Atelier Versace, while last year’s look paid tribute to Karl Lagerfeld, as her tuxedo top billowed out into a skirt with massive black flowers—a look she completed with a sleek gray wig.

The 2024 installment of the annual event took place on Monday, May 6, with hosts Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth.

After reminding fans last week of her 2023 Met Gala ’fit, Kylie Jenner raised the stakes for this year’s event with a dazzling display that found immediate success in turning heads.

The Kardashians star was one of many celebrities expected to attend the 2024 Met Gala on Mon., May 6. She arrived dressed to the nines, exuding pure Hollywood glamour in a cream-colored sleeveless gown.

The body-hugging dress, which could easily pass for a modern bridal gown, featured cone breasts and a bustled train. The reality star opted for natural glam with her dark hair slicked back into an updo with a flower pinned to the left side.

Her gown was a stark contrast to the sweeping red number she wore at last year’s gala. When Jenner, 26, arrived at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art to be photographed on the red carpet in 2023, the 26-year-old stunned in a bright red gown that featured a long trail and daring slit. Jenner’s dress last year also featured a bold neckline, with her left arm encased in one long red sleeve that stretched up to encircle her neck, leaving the top of her chest, her right shoulder, and her entire right arm free of fabric.

Jenner's sisters, Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian, were also in attendance at this year's Met, along with her mother and momager Kris Jenner, whose date for the evening was longtime boyfriend Corey Gamble. 

Fans were disappointed that Jenner did not make her red carpet debut with Timothée Chalamet, though there are rumors that the beauty mogul and the Dune actor have already ended their short-lived romance. 

Rumors about a budding relationship between the reality TV star and the Wonka actor first sparked last spring. Jenner and Chalamet, 28, finally confirmed they were dating when they were seen sharing an intimate moment while attending one of Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour shows in Southern California in September 2023. In the months that have followed, the two have been spotted attending multiple public events and awards shows together.

Demi Moore surprised fans with her bold flowery 2024 Met Gala dress that perfectly evoked the "Garden" aspect of the "Garden of Time" theme. 

The Feud actress arrived at this year's Met Gala in New York City wearing a dress by designer Harris Reed, who also stunned in a beautiful outfit at the event, that was made of vintage wallpaper, velvet and silk, with pink peonies adorning the skirt and the large panels forming her "wings" for the night. 

Halfway up the steps, Moore's dress changed, with the top making up the wings and fanned accents coming off to show a strapless top that allowed the focus to go to the Chloris necklace and earrings from Cartier. Moore was the first person to ever wear the stunning jewelry.

"Demi Moore eating everyone up so far 🤩 #MetGala," someone immediately declared after seeing Moore on her way to the Met, and plenty of people agreed, with replies like, "From where we’re born! another perfect theme hit yes!" and "Demi Moore you understood the assignment! Beautiful."

"QUEEN of the night!! Congratulations," wrote a third.

Of course, there were a few critics of the daring look who felt like it was too bold, like one who commented, "These are actually my least faves, they feel like costumes ):." 

"The dress is exceptional but her hair is so astoundingly boring," said someone who felt like the look was missing something, as another reacted, "Sometimes the dress wears you #GlamourDont."

Moore joined a slew of other big names who attended the 2024 Met Gala wearing their take on the "Garden of Time" theme, including co-chair for the night Zendaya, as well as Doja Cat, Ayo Edibiri, and more.

Kelsea Ballerini rocked one of her most romantic looks yet at the 2024 Met Gala.

The "IF YOU GO DOWN (I'M GOIN' DOWN TOO)" songstress graced the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, May 6, in a nude-colored gown with pink and purple flowers cascading down it. A matching shawl covered in the same flowers completed her ensemble, making her practically dripping with floral.

She took the eye-catching ensemble to the next level with her glowing face of glam, which we're told she achieved with a bit of help from Bondi Sands' Technocolor Self Tanning Face Serum and the brand's award-winning Tinted Skin Perfector. As for her hair, she styled in a low updo with longer pieces in the front and adorned with more flowers.

The 30-year-old country star's boyfriend of nearly two years, Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes, was also in attendance. He walked the red carpet while wearing a shimmery black suit jacket and pants with no shirt underneath.

The theme of this year's Costume Institute Benefit event is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and the dress code is "The Garden of Time." And no, neither is a nod to Disney. "Sleeping beauties" is surprisingly not a reference to the famous princess but instead, to the fact that the dresses from this year's exhibition are lying in cases because they're too fragile and special to be worn or hung on mannequins.

This bunny may be bad, yet Bad Bunny's net worth is anything but. After being named one of TIME’s Most Influential People in 2020 and being the first non-English language act to become the most streamed artist on Spotify (for two years in a row!), Bad Bunny—real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—has the world at his feet. You have to wonder, what is Bad Bunny’s net worth with all of this success?

And we didn’t even mention his appearances in the WWE! The Puerto Rican artist has taken the movie world by storm, too. He made his movie debut in 2021’s F9, followed that up with the Brad Pitt action movie Bullet Train. Most recently, he was in 2023's Cassandro.

In 2024, he adds a Met Gala co-chair role to his credits, joining Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Hemsworth alongside Vogue's Anna Wintour. 

Here is everything you could ever wonder about Bad Bunny’s net worth in 2024.

What's Bad Bunny's net worth in 2024?

Ah yes, the question of the hour! According to Celebrity Net Worth, Bad Bunny’s net worth in 2024 is $50 million. Considering the fact that he has become one of the most streamed artists in the world—often the most streamed—with his songs totaling over 14.8 billion plays and counting, it’s no surprise Bad Bunny is rolling in money. Plus, he now has acting roles and appearances in the WWE to add to his growing fortune.

How much money does Bad Bunny make per concert?

Pollstar estimates that Bad Bunny earns as much as $4.1 million for each performance. However, keep in mind that all of this money would not go directly to the singer, as there are many people who earn a percentage of this performance money.

How much does Bad Bunny make on Spotify?

Bad Bunny has over 58 billion streams on Spotify, putting him in the top five most-streamed artists of all time in the platform's history. One calculation values that at over $280 million. However, keep in mind that this money does not go directly into Bad Bunny’s pocket. He has to pay a percentage to his label, for instance. Even so, because he is often the most streamed artist on the platform, Bad Bunny has been able to earn a pretty penny from Spotify.

How much does Bad Bunny make per year?

Because Bad Bunny had a meteoric rise in a relatively short period of time, we cannot know exactly how much the artist makes in a year. This is especially true as the number will be changing frequently as his star power continues to grow. However, it has been reported that he makes over $4 million annually. Not bad for a year’s work!

How much does Bad Bunny make per album?

It is not known exactly how much Bad Bunny makes per album. Because of streaming, artists can be earning money on their entire discography each year. However, it has been reported that Bad Bunny has earned over $20 million from his songs and albums. As of May 2024, he has reached 86,316,000 equivalent album sales, with his best-selling album, Un Verano Sin Ti, selling over 16,287,000 copies.

How much did Bad Bunny get paid for WWE?

Bad Bunny and the WWE have not publicized how much the artist makes per appearance in the WWE ring. However, wrestling experts have estimated that the 28-year-old could be earning upwards of $100,000 per appearance. Remember, he once won the WWE 24/7 Championship, so clearly the partnership is working out!

How much did Bad Bunny get paid for Narcos?

Bad Bunny was lucky enough to earn the role of Everardo Arturo "El Kitty" Paez in the third season of Narcos: Mexico. But, it has not been revealed how much he was paid for his role. Considering his celebrity and the payment actors on streaming shows usually receive, we can imagine his salary was anywhere in the tens of thousands of dollars range.

In Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Carlo Bernard discussed the reggaeton artist’s casting. ​​“Everybody under 30 in the office lost their s**t. I was like, ‘Oh, I should probably pay more attention to this!’ He put himself on tape, and—to no surprise—he’s very watchable, and you’re innately drawn to him.” In fact, Bernard’s one regret about the casting decision was that he felt the young star didn’t have enough to do, adding, “Whatever we gave him, he killed.”

How much does Bad Bunny make on tour?

Bad Bunny’s El Último Tour del Mundo in 2022 became the highest-grossing tour ever by a Latinx artist, taking in more than $435 million. However, as with other figures, we must keep in mind that all of that money does not go directly into the artist’s pocket. Even just earning a percentage of that amount means Bad Bunny had a pretty freakin’ great year!

This does not mean Bad Bunny has or will earn this same amount with every tour, as that will depend on each individual tour's success and sales. Many artists report that the majority of the money they earn is from touring, and with numbers like this, that does track!

Model Kendall Jenner arrived at the 2024 Met Gala dressed to impress, drawing eyes with her unique outfit.

The 28-year-old posed for photographers on the iconic stairs wearing a pull from the vintage archives—an exquisite Givenchy couture piece from the brand's Fall 1999 collection, her interpretation of this year's "The Garden of Time" theme.

As she's done in years past, Jenner stole the spotlight with her daring look—which featured low midriff cutouts in the front and back—while noting she was the "first human to wear it," as it originally "showed on a mannequin." She also shared that the garb needed "no tailoring" and "fit perfectly" as is, which made her feel that it was just "meant to be."

Jenner was a highly-anticipated guest for this year's Met Gala after she stunned with her interpretation of last year's Karl Lagerfeld theme.

In 2023, Jenner wore a bold look as she decided to forego pants for a sequined black bodysuit with a white collar. The outfit emulated fashion figure Lagerfeld's well-known look, but the model also made it her own, adding platform boots and a high ponytail that only she could rock.

Over the years, Jenner has attended the Met Gala numerous times, but each year seems to get more daring. After the no-pants look, many fans were excited to see what direction she would go with her 2024 gala outfit.

This year, other attendees included her older sister Kim Kardashian, her mom Kris Jenner, Ayo Edibiri, Ashley Graham, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, and more.
