The Best Dressed Stars At The 2025 Met Gala

From Rihanna’s surprise baby bump reveal to Diana Ross’ dramatic return, the 2025 Met Gala brought bold, symbolic fashion statements to the red carpet.

The 2025 Met Gala was a fearless celebration of fashion, culture, and heritage under the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”. With a “Tailored for You” dress code, the night was bursting with symbolic ensembles, historic references, and couture craftsmanship. From iconic returns to baby bump debuts, the stars left nothing behind on the steps of the Met. Here’s a full recap of the best-dressed celebrities who made this year’s gala unforgettable.

Rihanna brought the drama and delight, revealing her third pregnancy in a custom Marc Jacobs ensemble — complete with a gray bustier, black floor-length skirt, and cropped jacket. Arriving fashionably late, the mogul and singer accessorized with Jacobs-designed heels, a tie, and a hat by Stephen Jones.

Diana Ross returned to the Met after more than two decades in show-stopping style. Her Ugo Mozie gown featured an 18-foot train embroidered with the names of her children and grandchildren, requiring six helpers to manage it. She arrived with her son Evan and, according to Vogue’s La La Anthony, “shut the whole carpet down.”

Colman Domingo, one of the evening’s co-chairs, honored André Leon Talley with a vibrant blue Valentino cape. He later revealed a second look underneath, featuring a tailored windowpane plaid jacket, gray trousers, and polka-dot accents — all from Valentino, the brand he represents.

Zendaya wowed in a sharp, all-white Louis Vuitton three-piece suit designed by Pharrell Williams. Her wide-brimmed hat, matching tie, and glittering Bulgari brooch added elegant flair, while a bold red manicure and her engagement ring from Tom Holland completed the ensemble.

A$AP Rocky, also a co-chair and father-to-be, rocked a custom AWGE look, featuring a black jacket with dramatic lapels and a jewel-studded umbrella. His accessories included Bulgari jewelry and Christian Louboutin shoes.

Teyana Taylor teamed up with Ruth E. Carter on a pinstripe suit and padded cape embroidered with “Harlem rose.” A matching cane and hat gave her look a powerful, cinematic edge.

Whoopi Goldberg stayed true to her statement-making style in a white sequin-covered Thom Browne coat over a duchess satin dress, paired with a wool bouclé top hat from the brand’s 2015 archive.

Doechii made a confident Met Gala debut in a Louis Vuitton shorts suit co-designed with Pharrell. With checkered Bermuda shorts, a maroon bow tie, and monogrammed blazer, she finished the look with Mary Jane shoes and an afro hairstyle.

Demi Moore, fresh off her People’s World’s Most Beautiful cover, stunned in a Thom Browne gown constructed to resemble a men’s tie. The look took over 7,600 hours to complete and featured more than 1.4 million beads.

Doja Cat turned heads in a pinstripe Marc Jacobs bodysuit with an ocelot print on the bodice, a nod to her love of animal patterns and a clever twist on the tailoring theme.

Regina King wore a meaningful, embroidered suit by Who Decides War, featuring angelic artwork reflecting ancestral strength. “We are able to stand up, lean on them,” she told Good Morning America.

Pharrell Williams dazzled in a Louis Vuitton pearl-covered blazer made of 100,000 pearls. Designed by his team, the jacket took 980 hours to create. His wife, Helen Lasichanh, wore a black leather corset look with branded tights and a fur Louis Vuitton Speedy bag.

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz delivered a standout couples’ moment in coordinating Moncler pinstripe suits. Keys completed her look with a red beaded headpiece and bold striped scarf, while Beatz added a red durag and brooch for flair.

Keke Palmer paid tribute to Dorothy Dandridge in a white Vera Wang gown layered over tailored black pants. She embraced both femininity and strength, calling on Black cultural history through fashion.

Nicki Minaj reimagined menswear in a form-fitting Thom Browne pinstripe dress, complete with cascading floral ruffles that added movement and drama.

Cynthia Erivo delivered one of the night’s most elaborate looks in a Givenchy ensemble by Sarah Burton. Red beaded floral embroidery adorned her jacket and corset, while tulle and bloomers revealed her massive thigh tattoo. Her boots and manicure — which took two days — finished the look.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas showed up in perfectly paired styles. Chopra wore a polka-dot Balmain suit with a black hat and a stunning 241-carat Bulgari emerald necklace. Jonas sported a cream high-neck blouse with scarf detailing and Tiffany brooches clipped to his belt.

Sabrina Carpenter delivered a bold look in a pants-less Louis Vuitton bodysuit with a long train, designed by Pharrell. She credited him with the choice to ditch the pants: “You’re quite short, so no pants for you,” he quipped.

Cardi B stunned in an ivy-green Burberry suit designed by Daniel Lee, matching her contacts and eyeshadow for a sleek, monochromatic finish.

From couture craftsmanship to deeply personal symbolism, the 2025 Met Gala was a true showcase of tailoring, identity, and creative genius — all wrapped in the boldest night of fashion.
