The 2025 Met Gala, centered on the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” transformed the steps of the Metropolitan Museum into a showcase of bold sartorial statements. Celebrities embraced the call for precision and reinvention, delivering a parade of looks that balanced classic elegance with dramatic flair.
Making a powerful debut, actress Sadie Sink commanded attention in a black satin gown featuring a plunging neckline and a significant train. The ensemble was artfully contrasted with a floral lace wrap adorning her shoulders and arms, accessorized simply with pearls.
Veteran star Whoopi Goldberg made a memorable return to the event in a striking Thom Browne creation. The black-and-white dress was distinguished by its monumental sculptural sleeves, while a accompanying overcoat, detailed with hundreds of thousands of sequins, represented thousands of hours of craftsmanship. Goldberg completed the look with a veiled top hat and statement jewelry.
Anne Hathaway opted for a sharp, modern interpretation in a white oversized button-up top paired with a graphic black-and-white column skirt, her look anchored by a spectacular diamond and sapphire necklace. In a shift to softness, Shakira captivated in a form-fitting pink gown by Prabal Gurung, notable for its ruffled bow, sheer panels, and a voluminous train.
Marking her first appearance at the gala in several years, Madonna presented a chic and tailored take in an all-white satin ensemble, accessorized with a bow tie, lace gloves, and a cigar. Lupita Nyong’o offered a fresh perspective on suiting in a pastel-colored set, elevated by a matching hat and a sheer cape.

Heidi Klum returned after a long absence in a bold black strapless gown, and Sarah Snook embodied power dressing in a wide-shouldered black tuxedo with a dramatic cape.
Pamela Anderson debuted a sleek new blonde bob to complement a structured, sequined gown, and music icon Diana Ross made a striking return in a form-fitting dress paired with a coat featuring an exceptionally long train. The evening also featured standout looks from Vittoria Ceretti in a navy minidress with a cape, Serena Williams in a light silk gown with a quilted train, and Cynthia Erivo in a voluminous Givenchy tulle skirt and corset.
