The stars aligned, the flashbulbs fired, and the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art turned into a high-fashion battlefield as the 2025 Met Gala rolled out its legendary red carpet on Monday night. And let’s just say—nobody came to play.
This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” paid tribute to the genius and legacy of Black designers, and the A-listers didn’t just understand the assignment—they redefined it. From custom suits to couture corsets, it was tailoring with a twist, and Hollywood’s finest delivered drama, detail, and a generous dose of dazzle.
Rihanna, the queen of making an entrance and stealing the spotlight, did both. Arriving fashionably late (as tradition demands), she revealed her baby bump on the red carpet, confirming she’s expecting her third child with rapper A$AP Rocky. The Fenty mogul didn’t just shut it down—she rewrote the red carpet rulebook.
Tyla, South Africa’s 23-year-old sensation, floated in like a vision in custom Jacquemus, her flowing train trailing behind her like a chart-topping melody. Her stylist, Law Roach, revealed that the late Vogue legend André Leon Talley inspired the look. And because one muse wasn’t enough, Roach also styled Zendaya, who dazzled in an ethereal all-white Louis Vuitton suit that screamed “best-dressed royalty.”
Demi Moore made a bold entrance in a dress that looked like a necktie’s glamorous reincarnation, while Zoe Saldaña gave us sharp tailoring and corseted curves in a sculptural Thom Browne piece.
Other jaw-dropping moments? Diana Ross in Ugo Mozie, Doechii rocking Louis Vuitton, Jennie channeling classic cool in Chanel, Gigi Hadid glowing in Miu Miu, and Sofia Richie Grainge owning prep-chic in Tommy Hilfiger.
As always, the Met Gala was more than just fashion—it was a cultural spectacle. A place where style meets storytelling, and every stitch carries a message.
Here’s to the power of tailoring, to bold beauty, and to a night where everyone from icons to ingénues reminded the world: fashion is art—and the Met is its stage.
