Fans of The White Lotus were treated to a special moment at the 2025 Met Gala when co-stars Aimee Lou Wood and Patrick Schwarzenegger hit the red carpet together. Their on-screen chemistry from the hit HBO show spilled over into real life as they made a stylish entrance that turned heads.
This was Aimee’s very first Met Gala, and she made a bold debut in a stunning asymmetrical black suit-gown by London designer Priya Ahluwalia. She finished off her look with Cartier jewelry, HUE tights, Bombas socks, and Manolo Blahnik heels. Patrick, who’s no stranger to the Met Gala, went with a navy and yellow zoot suit-inspired Balmain outfit — vintage vibes with a modern twist.
Speaking to Variety, Patrick revealed that he invited Aimee to attend the event with him. “We met up, I went to her hotel and we showed up together. It’s great,” he said, noting he wanted to help ease her nerves ahead of the big night.
Their appearance comes on the heels of The White Lotus Season 3 becoming the biggest season yet. The premiere on February 16, 2025, drew 2.4 million viewers — a 57% jump from the previous season — and the finale hit a record-breaking 6.2 million viewers.
Aimee Lou Wood’s role as Chelsea, a confident, carefree soul, had a lasting impact on her personally. “As Chelsea, I cannot be thinking about how I look,” she told ELLE. “She does not give a shite about how she looks. She is not an insecure person about her body.” The role helped her embrace her own self-confidence.
Patrick Schwarzenegger, who plays Chelsea’s partner in the series, has been making waves too. Despite often being called a “nepo baby” (he’s Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son), Aimee shut down the hate, calling him “the hardest working and kindest man ever.”
