On the first Monday of May, the Met Gala 2025 red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York once again became the focal point for global fashion enthusiasts.
With the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” and the dress code “Tailored for You,” this year’s event celebrates the excellence of tailoring and the fashion heritage of the Black community from the 18th century to today, inspired by the exhibition of the same name by The Costume Institute. Leading designers, stylists, and models are familiar faces on the iconic steps of the Met Gala. However, this annual fundraising event also serves as a gathering for influential figures in sports, art, and entertainment. Just look at this year’s diverse co-host lineup: Pharrell Williams, creative director of Louis Vuitton men’s fashion; rapper A$AP Rocky; F1 driver Lewis Hamilton; and actor Colman Domingo—all underscore the contemporary cultural significance of the Met Gala.
Under the leadership of these prominent figures, the 2025 Met Gala gathered stars in innovative bespoke designs. Rihanna drew attention by showcasing her baby bump in a modest custom outfit, Zendaya appeared elegant in a pristine white suit, while Madonna chose a powerful champagne-colored suit. The three BLACKPINK members also made a striking presence as they reunited on the red carpet. Stars like Anne Hathaway, Demi Moore, Cardi B, Lupita Nyong’o, and Cynthia Erivo delivered impressive appearances, showcasing a blend of high fashion and cultural identity.
