Monday night in New York City was ablaze with style as the stars descended upon the Met Gala, showcasing a parade of unforgettable looks for the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." This year's theme marked a distinctive shift, focusing solely on menswear for the first time since 2003, inspired by an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art exploring the significance of tailoring in the formation of black identities.
Among the stars, co-chair A$AP Rocky stunned in a self-designed outfit, exuding Harlem flair with Christian Louboutin shoes. Demi Moore turned heads, creatively embodying a men's tie in a striking Thom Browne gown. Meanwhile, Bad Bunny sported a meticulously crafted Prada suit adorned with accessories reflecting his Puerto Rican heritage.
Rihanna made her Met Gala return, proudly highlighting her pregnancy in an elegant Marc Jacobs ensemble. Diana Ross stunned in a dramatic white gown with a lengthy train, while Sir Lewis Hamilton showed off a chic cream suit tailored by Grace Wales Bonner.
Sydney Sweeney captured attention in a custom Miu Miu gown inspired by actress Kim Novak, and Irish actor Barry Keoghan presented a unique Valentino fit that combined elegance with flair.
Notable appearances included Zendaya in a monochromatic cream suit, Simone Biles in electric blue, and Doja Cat with her audacious shoulder pads. The evening's eclectic mix continued with a parade of vibrant outfits, from Lupita Nyong'o's powder blue Chanel to Cardi B's ivy green Burberry ensemble.
As the fashion-forward gathered, one of the evening's standout moments came from Andre 3000, who sported a striking black and white piano as part of his ensemble.
From flashy designs to empowered statements, the 2025 Met Gala was a triumphant celebration of tailoring, identity, and creative expression.
