On May 5, 2025, New York once again became the capital of couture as the annual Met Gala lit up the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year’s theme — “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” — honored Black fashion, dandyism, and the evolution of masculine aesthetics. With the dress code “Tailored for You,” guests were invited to creatively reinterpret classic menswear silhouettes.
One of the night’s biggest headlines was Rihanna, who dazzled in a corseted Marc Jacobs gown and officially revealed her third pregnancy. Pamela Anderson debuted a fierce new bob and a shimmering Joan of Arc-inspired dress by Tory Burch. Meanwhile, Zendaya and Anna Sawai stunned in nearly identical white suits and wide-brimmed hats — a serendipitous style sync.
Musical legends Stevie Wonder and Usher brought the house down with surprise live performances, adding sonic brilliance to the visual extravaganza. And Megan Thee Stallion broke the no-phones rule with a viral “Hottie Cam in thee Met Gala” video shot during the event.
Unforgettable looks included:
Diana Ross in a white gown with an 18-foot train embroidered with her family’s names;
Demi Moore in a jaw-dropping beaded necktie dress by Thom Browne;
Janelle Monáe in a layered ensemble topped with a monocle;
Lewis Hamilton, one of the night’s co-chairs, in a sleek white suit by Grace Wales Bonner.
The after-parties continued across NYC, with standouts like Janelle Monáe, Keke Palmer in a sparkling mini, and Sabrina Carpenter in a bright yellow Louis Vuitton coat, turning heads well past midnight.
