Outfit Parade at Met Gala 2025

 It’s time to clear your mood boards — the 2025 Met Gala just delivered an extravaganza of dandy drama, and this year’s theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” got stitched deep into the seams. With 12 tenets of Black dandyism setting the tone, celebrities weren’t just dressing up — they were making sartorial statements in technicolour, tassels, and tailoring.

Here’s your front-row seat to the fashion riot.

Zendaya: Cream dream

Louis Vuitton’s muse-in-residence, Zendaya, sauntered in wearing a tailored cream suit topped with a dramatic wide-brimmed hat — pure dandy realness. The twist wasn’t the cut, not the collar — it was those scarlet red nails peeking through, as if whispering “I may be buttoned-up, but I bite.”

Kim Kardashian: Chrome-hearted and pearled up

Kim K turned up looking like the most opulent biker you’ve never met. In an all-black Chrome Hearts leather number, she paired sculpted curves with ice-cold layers of diamonds and pearls. Gothic glam met vintage vamp — a callback queen who knows how to haunt the Met stairs like it’s her runway.

Chappell Roan: Disco patchwork

Serving bubblegum rebellion, Chappell Roan twirled in with a pink patchwork look sourced entirely from eBay (yes, eBay). Collaborating with Wicked’s Paul Tazewell and beauty sorceress Pat McGrath, Roan’s look screamed, “garage sale, but make it couture.” And we’re here for every shade of it.

Demi Moore: The tie that binds

Method dressing or more like method slaying? Demi Moore showed up as a literal men’s tie — a black-and-white sequin sculpture by Thom Browne. High concept, high fashion, and possibly highlighter-resistant — Demi reminded us she’s not playing dress-up. She is the dress.

Bad Bunny: Brown is the new black

Puerto Rican icon Bad Bunny turned dandy into daddy with a custom brown Prada suit. Embellished gloves? Check. Brooch and hat? Absolutely. Months in the making, his look gave colonial flair with Caribbean soul. “I feel good,” he said.

Rihanna in Marc Jacobs

She’s back! Rihanna made a grand entrance in Marc Jacobs, debuting her second pregnancy alongside co-chair A$AP Rocky. Always one to eclipse the theme, she didn’t just walk the carpet — she made it hers. And yes, there were glorious ruffles.

Diana Ross: Mama made you look

Stop everything. Diana Ross returned after two decades and shut it down. Draped in white feathers with a train that could double as a red carpet, Ross stunned in an ensemble embroidered with the names of her kids and grandkids. “My son made me come,” she said. Well, thank him for this divine comeback.

Lewis Hamilton: Fast, formal, fabulous

British F1 ace Lewis Hamilton co-chaired in full dandy mode, courtesy of designer Grace Wales Bonner. Sleek, sculptural, and style-synced, the duo proved that tailoring isn’t just about fit — it’s about legacy. Lewis looked like a Formula One lap around Savile Row.

Sydney Sweeney: Novak chic

Sydney Sweeney shimmered in custom Miu Miu, dripping in fringe and vintage gold hardware. The look was a nod to Kim Novak, whom she’s set to play in Scandalous. As far as homages go, this one came with beads, glam, and just the right amount of old Hollywood haunting.

Dua Lipa: 2,000 hours of Chanel

Dua Lipa went full couture marathon in a made-to-measure Chanel chiffon dream. Crystals, pearls, feathers, and sequins — every red carpet cliché, done right. It took 2,000 hours to craft and maybe two seconds to drop every jaw at the Met.

Sabrina Carpenter: Suit yourself

Sabrina Carpenter showed up in a Louis Vuitton bodysuit with suit tailoring — and exactly zero trousers. Pharrell Williams told her, “You’re short, no pants for you.” Iconic. Tiny but tailored, this look was one part mischief, two parts power move.

Simone Biles: Gymnast-turned-Goddess

Simone Biles cartwheeled into high fashion with a stunning blue minidress by Harbison Studio. Collared, appliqued, and trailing with flair, she looked like a varsity queen who just enrolled at the House of Dandy. Gold medal in carpet performance, obviously.
