Light rain hit the blue floral carpet outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but nothing slowed the Met Gala 2025. Inside, the exhibit “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” a celebration of culture, identity, and razor-sharp craftsmanship. Outside, designers, actors, and models treated the steps like a true runway.
From Zendaya’s pristine tailoring to Rosalía’s avant-flamenco glamour and newcomer Georgina Rodríguez’s surprise debut, these are the standout moments everyone will be searching for.
The Euphoria star embraced midnight drama in a custom Miu Miu black mermaid gown, entirely fringed with beaded tassels. A crystal clasp at the high neckline, a sweeping train, and two-tone diamond earrings dialed up the sparkle, while a sleek updo and delicate finger-wave tendrils framed her face.
Fresh off her Oscar win for Emilia Pérez, Saldana wore a Thom Browne design that balanced masculine and feminine codes, paired with platform lace-ups and Cartier jewels.
The singer and American cultural icon left her mark in a statement hat, a silver paillette gown, and a sweeping cape of white fringe, silk, and ultra-fine metallic print.
The singer opted for Alaïa separates: a long-sleeve leather bolero jacket in an animal print and a high-waisted mermaid skirt that fans out dramatically from the hips. Cartier jewels completed the look.
The singer arrived like a living sculpture carved from marble in a Balmain design by creative director Olivier Rousteing. The bridal inspired masterpiece turned her into the gala’s bride of the night.
The model and entrepreneur chose lingerie inspired fashion in a spaghetti strap Vetements gown by Demna Gvasalia, edged with lace, with a side train and a slit that showed off her patent leather stilettos. Charlotte Tilbury, the beauty brand she represents, created her makeup look.
Vogue’s editor in chief traded her trademark sunglasses for an ethereal mix of silver and sky blue. The power bob remained, but shimmering embroidery and a rainy-night glow reminded everyone who truly hosts fashion’s biggest event.
Proving sample-room details can read couture, the German supermodel wore a strapless gown printed with tailoring stripes. Tonal stilettos, a show-stopping solitaire diamond, and a L’Oréal Paris glow completed her homage to the art of sewing.
Fresh off a chic bob haircut, the Last Showgirl actress shimmered in a structured, long-sleeve metallic gown with a full circular skirt. Diamond ear cuffs echoed the dress’s gleam and brought modern siren energy to the steps.
A perennial Met Gala MVP, Zendaya arrived in a custom optic-white three-piece suit that included a wide-brim hat and platform pumps. Impeccable tailoring spoke for itself, while a classic red manicure supplied a single pop of color.
The star of The Substance selected Thom Browne’s metallic black and white ensemble with a rectangular train and a light halo like frame around her face. Diamond bracelets, rings, and earrings amped up the shine.
Fashion’s favorite creator paid tribute to classic suiting in a pinstripe Courrèges masterpiece. Strategic cutouts and a sharp rectangular train modernized the tailoring and proved that Gen Z’s red carpet reign is only getting stronger.
The Idea of You star selected Carolina Herrera’s sculptural approach. A wrap-effect white shirt with artful sleeve ruching met a pencil skirt striped in black and silver metallic. Transparent-strap stilettos and a sapphire and diamond collar sealed the look.
Feathers, sheer allure, and sparkling appliqués defined Lipa’s black gown. Peek-a-boo stilettos and paillette-embroidered mesh gloves brought the ensemble into full-throttle glamour.
In custom Prada, Hawke floated up the Met steps in a blush-pink column dress topped with a tobacco-hued billowing cape knotted at the neck. Deep-green stilettos and a matching satin micro-clutch added soft power dressing to the mix
Pharrell Williams’s style-savvy partner owned the carpet in a head-to-toe Louis Vuitton leather bodysuit paired with a matching jacket. Monogram tights, loafer-inspired pumps, and a plush shearling bag finished the fearless, futuristic look.
Wintour’s producer daughter chose regal black and gold. Her sweetheart-neckline gown featured gilded motifs, an oversized bow at the waist, and a thigh-high slit that revealed metallic ankle-strap sandals.
