Met Gala 2025: The most bold, jaw-dropping and over-the-top looks National |
The theme of this year's annual fundraiser, 'Tailored For You,' made it clear that guests were invited to be as creative as possible.
It was one of fashionâs biggest nights, as around 450 high-profile people from tech, sports, art, entertainment and more got together at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for this yearâs Met Gala.
The theme of this yearâs annual fundraiser, âTailored For You,â made it clear that guests were invited to be as creative as possible within the framework of classic tailoring.
âSuperfine: Tailoring Black Styleâ was the theme for this yearâs spring show at the Metropolitan Museum of Artâs Costume Institute. It was the first Met show to focus exclusively on Black designers, and the first in more than 20 years to have a menswear theme.

The Met Gala, held annually on the first Monday in May, is a soirĂŠe to raise money for the Costume Institute, the museumâs collection of fashion objects. Each year, a different theme honours a designer, style or look.
It was Monica L. Millerâs 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, that inspired this yearâs show and led Andrew Bolton, curator of all the blockbuster Costume Institute shows, to bring her in as guest curator. The show uses dandyism as a lens through which to explore the formation of Black style over the years.
âDandyism was about pushing boundaries,â Miller said.
Behind her, a section of wall was devoted to each of the 12 themes that divide the exhibit: ownership, presence, distinction, disguise, freedom, champion, respectability, jook, heritage, beauty, cool and cosmopolitanism.
Gala co-chairs this year were musician-designer Pharrell Williams, Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton, actor Colman Domingo and rapper A$AP Rocky.
If that werenât enough star power, this year, there was an additional host committee with athletes like Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens, Hollywood figures like Spike Lee and Ayo Edebiri, musicians like Janelle MonĂĄe and AndrĂŠ 3000, author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and other artists, playwrights and fashion figures.
Letâs be honest â the real thrill of the Met Gala for us at home is playing fashion critic as Hollywoodâs A-listers strut their stuff. Keep scrolling for a roundup of some of the most fun, bold and outrageous looks of the night.
