Good morning!🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm Nicole Fallert. It's time to express gratitude for our teachers!

Quick look at Tuesday's news:

The 2025 Met Gala paid homage to the quintessential modern-day dandy.
About 16 people are believed to have been aboard a panga boat that capsized near San Diego.
"Untested" is USA TODAY's new podcast that takes listeners inside a detective's hunt for a sexual predator.

It was a dandy Met Gala

We can't stop talking about it — the 2025 Met Gala came and went Monday night, with hats, ties, buttons, tuxedos and fine tailoring galore donning the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The night tackled a complicated racial history with a tailor-made theme: "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," offered designers and celebrity attendees the chance to pay tribute to the polished silhouettes, tailored suits and structured styles that define the figure.

USA TODAY was on the blue carpet and didn't miss a single Met Gala moment:

The theme of "dandyism" reflected modern Black sartorial genius and the culmination of centuries of style.
Kamala Harris made a surprise Met debut.
Chappell Roan kept her first Met in the "Pink Pony Club."
Bad Bunny paid tribute to Puerto Rico.
Sabrina Carpenter suited up in "espresso."
Rihanna debuted a baby bump.

Because we're all scrolling at work this morning: Here's every photo of every look from last night.

19 states sue RFK Jr., Trump administration 

New York Attorney General Letitia James and 18 other Democratic state attorneys general are filing a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's efforts to overhaul the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by shrinking its size and laying off employee who oversee the nation's food and health care systems. James said the states' lawsuit in Rhode Island U.S. district court takes aim at Kennedy Jr.'s "reckless, irrational, and dangerous" efforts that erase decades of public health progress.

Search suspended after panga boat capsizes near San Diego

Authorities suspended the search for seven missing people, including two children, after a panga-style boat overturned near San Diego on May 5 and three people were found dead. The Coast Guard said late Monday that it had suspended its operations searching for the missing "pending further developments." Authorities used helicopters and rescue boats in the search.

Potential jurors for Diddy case asked about sex abuse and celebrities

As he entered the Manhattan courtroom on Monday, Sean "Diddy" Combs hugged his lawyers as they, and the prosecution, began the laborious task of selecting the 12 people who could free or doom the rap mogul. Jurors were questioned one at a time by the judge, the prosecution and the defense, their stated mission to try to seat a jury in just three days. The slow pace May 5 could put that timeline in jeopardy, as finding jurors who remain unbiased in such a high-profile case could prove challenging. Questions ranged from their history with sexual assault or abuse to their familiarity with such notable names.
