The 7 Best-Dressed Stars at the 2025 Met Gala
The 2025 MET Gala established itself as one of the most refined and conceptually cohesive editions in recent memory. With the theme “Superfine: Black-Tie Tailoring” and dress code “Tailored for You,” the red carpet became a showcase where menswear and womenswear met in elevated, precisely styled expressions.
Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and A$AP Rocky, this year’s co-chairs, embodied the theme with looks that reimagined tailoring from heritage to modern reinvention. A$AP Rocky turned heads in a double-breasted jacket designed by his own label, AWGE—an homage to the Marmot jackets iconic in Harlem and a reflection of his youth and cultural roots.
Zendaya in custom Louis Vuitton
Inspired by the 1975 film Mahogany, her ivory zoot suit reimagined dandyism with flawless tailoring and a modern edge. Styled by Law Roach, the look stood out as one of the evening’s smartest tributes to Black fashion history.
Jennie (BLACKPINK) in Chanel
She wore a strapless black leather and satin jumpsuit adorned with pearl cabochon buttons and finished with Chanel’s signature camellia. The standout detail? A playfully split overskirt revealing cropped slim pants beneath.
Hunter Schafer in Prada
Her black-and-white ensemble featured layered classics—a turtleneck, button-up shirt, crossover jacket, and beret—culminating in a minimal but impactful statement of understated chic.
Gigi Hadid in custom Miu Miu
Draped in gold velvet with intricate crystal embellishments, her halter gown paid homage to legendary Black women in fashion: Zelda Wynn Valdez and Josephine Baker. A look rich in glamour and historical significance.
Sofia Richie Grainge in Tommy Hilfiger
Her gown nodded to the timeless white tuxedo with a sleek high-neck front and a bold surprise in the back—an oversized cream bow that added structure and drama.
Rihanna in Marc Jacobs
A fashion-forward maternity icon, Rihanna debuted her pregnancy in a corseted look that signals a new chapter in avant-garde pregnancy style.
Lana Del Rey in Valentino by Alessandro Michele
Her darkly romantic look blended velvet, taffeta, and Victorian lace. With sculpted volume and moody elegance, Lana’s presence turned gothic drama into poetic fashion.
