The fashion world turned its full attention to the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art last night as the 2025 Met Gala kicked off in spectacular style. This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” paid homage to the creativity, elegance, and cultural influence of Black fashion throughout history — and the celebrities in attendance did not disappoint.
The evening’s dress code, “Tailored for You,” set the tone for a stunning array of custom looks. From sharp suits to experimental silhouettes, the stars showcased what it means to embody style that’s both personal and political.
Colman Domingo, known for his bold red carpet choices, turned heads yet again, while Lewis Hamilton and A$AP Rocky brought sleek, artistic interpretations of modern tailoring. Zendaya, always a Met Gala favorite, arrived in a sculpted piece that blended vintage flair with futuristic edge.
Other standout attendees included:
• Ego Nwodim

The night wasn’t just about fashion. As always, the Met Gala served as a celebration of cultural impact, with this year’s exhibit aiming to spotlight the rich legacy of Black style — from Savile Row to streetwear.
And if past years are any indication, we can expect the internet to buzz for days with reviews, recreations, and debates. But for now, all eyes remain on the artistry that unfolded on the carpet.
