A high-profile attendee of the 2025 Met Gala faced a dramatic and uncomfortable conclusion to the evening, stemming from a footwear malfunction. The celebrity, known for her fashion-forward appearances, revealed in a social media update that her feet had become painfully adhered to her custom stiletto heels following the event.
Video shared online captured the distressing scene, with the individual visibly in discomfort as members of her styling team attempted to free her by applying water to dissolve an adhesive. The star could be heard exclaiming that the shoes’ creative director had advised using tape to secure her feet for stability on the event’s famous staircase.
The tactic, while successful in ensuring a graceful ascent on the blue carpet, resulted in an arduous and painful removal process afterward. The star’s elegant, form-fitting black ensemble was a highlight of the night, but the post-gala incident nearly overshadowed the sartorial achievement.
Fortunately, a subsequent update provided relief to concerned followers, showing the star’s feet unharmed and confirming the situation had been resolved. The celebrity attended the gala without her partner, who was documented elsewhere, but was joined by family members also in attendance.
The star later posted a tribute to the designer on social media, expressing honor at being part of his debut at the prestigious event. The 2025 Met Gala, co-chaired by several notable figures from music, fashion, and sports, celebrated the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” focusing on the significance of clothing in the formation of Black cultural identity.
