Memorable Snapshots from Met Gala 2025: Kim Kardashian in a leather bodice and hat, Madonna donning a colonial attire, Holly Berry flaunting a partially-covered gown, and the chilling appearance of Jordan Roof.
The Met Gala 2025, themed "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," had a dress code of "Tailored for You," with a focus on menswear and suiting. Let's take a look at some of the most memorable fashion choices that either followed the theme or added a unique twist!
Zendaya, in a custom Louis Vuitton zoot suit designed by Pharrell Williams, dazzled in an all-white suit that closely adhered to the dress code. She sported a wide-brimmed hat, bold red nail polish, and looked nothing short of fabulous!
Janelle Monáe displayed some serious style with her Thom Browne outfit. The optical illusion of a suit on an overcoat was a creative spin on the theme. She later revealed a red, black, and white pinstripe suit and donned a top hat and monacle, making quite the entrance!
Lupita Nyong'o chose a vibrant aquamarine Chanel suit with a cape, inspired by Little Richard. While not strictly deviating from the theme, her bold choice of color and decorative eyebrows added some extra flair to the event.
Pharrell Williams donned a dashing pearl blazer that paid homage to the style of Black working-class men. His ensemble was a unique take on the theme, showing that suiting doesn't always have to be traditional!
Now, let's talk about some fashion choices that didn't quite stick to the script!
Holly Berry, the ever-glamorous 58-year-old actress, decided to take a fashion risk this time around. Dressed in a sheer, ill-fitting number, she left the underwear at home and barely covered up – needless to say, her outfit didn't quite fit the bill.
Madonna appeared straight outta the old South, wearing a milk-white silk suit and holding a cigar like a colonial planter. Instead of blending in, she stood out like a sore thumb – and not in a good way.
Jaden Smith skipped the famous headpiece this year but still managed to draw attention with his face-wrapping wire. He added some plaid blanket-like garment to his suit, resulting in a rather odd ensemble.
Kim Kardashian opted for a reptile-embossed leather suit and cowboy hat, then topped it all off with a cowboy hat. While she looked fierce, it was a bit overkill for a fashion event.
Teyana Taylor went all out with a striped suit, red vest, plush velvet cape with exaggerated shoulders, large feathered hat, red gloves, and cane. While her outfit was bold and unique, it came dangerously close to being a costume.
Cardi B arrived in a forest green velvet suit that looked more like a sofa upholstery than a fashion statement.
Anne Hathaway and Haley Bieber were the embodiment of boredom in their simple white shirt and skirt/blazer dress ensembles, respectively. But compared to the outrageous outfits of others, they were a breath of fresh air.
Dodge Cat went with an unusual jumpsuit, with a tiger bodysuit turning into a voluminous blazer. The peculiarity of the outfit alone was enough to make people stare.
Dua Lipa's look can best be described as a mishmash, featuring feathers, tweed, inserts, and tulle. She managed to look ridiculous in all this mess.
Theatrical producer Jordan Roth's Bell-bottoms, jacket, platform boots, and unusual hat were a goldmine for horror film creators – they'd definitely scream loudly in any fright flick. Marilyn Manson would've been proud.
Demi Moore stole the show with her successful black dress featuring paillettes and a towering white frame that looked like a big hat from afar.
British designer Jessica Cayle wore a jacket covered in flowers and a similarly festive hat. It was as if she had transformed into a living flower bed!
