Pharrell Williams Hosts Post-Met Gala UNO Tournament for Kim Kardashian, Ciara & More

Pharrell Williams‘ hosting duties had only just begun after the 2025 Met Gala — which he co-chaired with A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton — ended Monday night (May 5).

Following the glamorous event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the producer invited a star-studded list of guests to join him for an “after hours” UNO tournament at Crane Club in the West Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Among the players were Kim Kardashian, Keke Palmer, Jaden Smith, Pusha T, Future, Ciara, Lala Anthony, Questlove, PinkPantheress, Maggie Rogers and Halle Bailey, who posed for photos, sipped on drinks and — at least in some cases — probably made a few lifelong enemies with some well-timed “Draw Four” cards.

Emceed by streamer and onetime Billboard cover star Kai Cenat, the evening also saw the winners of the tournament take home prizes ranging from a Richard Mille watch to diamond Tiffany & Co. earrings. A Louis Vuitton trunk was also awarded, as was a custom UNO varsity jacket designed by the night’s host himself.

The tournament capped off one of the most highly anticipated celebrity events of the year, with many of Williams’ UNO guests having walked the Met Gala red carpet just hours prior to the game night. This year’s theme, which the producer helped lead with his fellow co-chairs, was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” a tribute to “the role of sartorial style in forming Black identities, focusing on the emergence, significance and proliferation of the Black dandy,” according to Vogue.

In addition to helping host the gala, Williams — who is the men’s creative director for Louis Vuitton — assisted in curating many of the night’s looks, including those worn by Zendaya, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, LISA of BLACKPINK, Future and more.
