The 2025 Met Gala, celebrating the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” saw a constellation of celebrities interpreting sartorial precision with dramatic flair. The red carpet became a showcase of architectural silhouettes, monochromatic statements, and personalized elegance.
Making a striking debut, Sadie Sink commanded attention in a black satin gown featuring a plunging neckline and a significant train, softened by a floral lace wrap. Whoopi Goldberg returned to the event in a Thom Browne creation, an imposing black-and-white dress with sculptural sleeves and an overcoat detailed with hundreds of thousands of sequins.
Anne Hathaway presented a modern take on tailoring with an oversized white button-up top paired with a striped column skirt, accented by a stunning sapphire necklace. Shakira opted for vibrant drama in a form-fitting pink gown by Prabal Gurung, complete with ruffled details and sheer panels.
Notable returns included Madonna, who chose a sleek white satin ensemble accessorized with a cigar, and Heidi Klum, who made a grand entrance after a twelve-year absence in a bold black strapless gown. Diana Ross also made a memorable comeback, captivating onlookers with a dazzling, form-fitting dress and an 18-foot train.
Lupita Nyong’o brought a soft yet structured aesthetic in a pastel suit with a sheer cape, while Demi Moore ascended the steps in a beaded Thom Browne gown with a dramatic looped headpiece. Sabrina Carpenter and BLACKPINK’s Lisa both embraced the ‘no pants’ trend, with Carpenter in a tuxedo-style bodysuit and Lisa in a bodysuit with tights.
Other standout moments included Sydney Sweeney’s homage to Old Hollywood glamour in a black gown with a gold floral motif, Sarah Snook’s powerful take on the tuxedo with a crimson-lined cape, and Pamela Anderson’s sequined gown paired with a transformative blunt bob haircut.
The event also featured notable pairs, such as Dua Lipa and Callum Turner, who made their red carpet debut together. Lipa shimmered in a feathered Chanel mini dress, while Turner complemented her in classic black tailoring.
From Cynthia Erivo’s voluminous Givenchy tulle skirt to Alicia Keys’ timeless glamour, the evening proved a masterclass in how classic tailoring can be reinvented with personal vision and bold artistic statements.
