The 2025 Met Gala red carpet has officially closed, with Rihanna once again making a memorable entrance as the last celebrity to arrive. This year’s event showcased stars flaunting custom designs and archival pieces in celebration of the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."
This theme highlights Black dandyism and marks the first time in two decades that menswear is the sole focus, as noted by Vogue. The dress code, titled “Tailored For You,” encouraged guests to express their individuality, allowing them to dress authentically.
Rihanna debuted her third pregnancy on the day of the gala, showcasing her baby bump in a bespoke Marc Jacobs outfit. She was featured among the celebrities who truly embraced this year’s theme with their fashion choices.
While many stars dazzled in stunning looks, others opted for ensembles that seemed out of sync with the gala’s spirit and dress code.
Questionable Looks from the 2025 Met Gala
André 3000
André 3000 embraced his quirky side, carrying a miniature piano on his back while stepping onto the Met’s steps. He wore a suit distinguished by speckled beading and zipper details, complemented with a vibrant red hat.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner made a striking appearance in a halter neck gown crafted from herringbone fabric and black satin. At one point, she removed her black sash to reveal a daring bodice paired with a high-slit skirt.
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner, usually known for bold choices, opted for a more conservative look in a gray low-cut suit top and matching skirt, accessorized minimally.
Hailey Bieber
Hailey Bieber embraced a feminine silhouette with her tuxedo-inspired mini dress. However, this look felt somewhat disconnected from the evening’s theme.
Rachel Brosnahan
Rachel Brosnahan turned heads in a simple purple gown that didn’t truly reflect the gala’s theme of Black dandyism. Yet, she subtly incorporated a suit tie detail for added flair.
Shakira
Shakira captivated attendees in a bubblegum pink gown, complete with an elongated train that made a bold statement yet didn’t resonate with the evening’s theme.
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra
This couple turned heads with their elegant looks that seemed more suited for a race day than the Met Gala, with Nick in an ivory shirt and Priyanka in a polka-dotted ensemble.
The 2025 Met Gala was a blend of captivating fashion statements and puzzling choices. As fans eagerly analyze the highlights and low points, which outfits stood out to you the most?
