The Met Gala 2025 illuminated the night with an abundance of glamour, electrifying excitement, and a deep sense of purpose.

Hosted in the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art, this year’s gala shattered records by raising an astounding $31 million for the esteemed Costume Institute.

With the evocative theme “Tailored for You,” the evening was a heartfelt homage to 300 years of Black fashion, culture, and heritage. This momentous gala marked a landmark occasion as the first Met Gala dedicated to Black designers and menswear, coinciding with the upcoming exhibition, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” set to open on May 10.

As always, the evening was deftly steered by Vogue’s influential editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, along with co-chairs Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, A$AP Rocky, and honorary chair LeBron James.

The star-studded host committee brought together Simone Biles, Regina King, Spike Lee, Usher, and Emmy-winning actress Ayo Edebiri, known for her role in The Bear.

Below are ten unforgettable celebrity appearances from the night:

  • Ayo Edebiri honored her father with a breathtaking Ferragamo gown adorned with striking red beaded details, brilliantly complemented by a bold black leather jacket.
  • Doja Cat teamed up with Marc Jacobs to deliver a stunning pinstripe bodysuit blending sculptural elements and ocelot patterns, showcasing her unparalleled creativity.
  • Zendaya captivated the crowd in a sleek custom Louis Vuitton tuxedo, channeling the essence of Bianca Jagger with a graceful blend of sharp cuts and soft, feminine makeup.
  • Janelle Monáe embraced the playful side of fashion, sporting a pinstriped Thom Browne suit layered beneath a dramatic striped coat paired with a top hat, complete with a chic briefcase.
  • Colman Domingo honored the late André Leon Talley with a striking blue Valentino cape, later unveiling a chic windowpane jacket embellished with polka dot accents underneath.
  • Lupita Nyong’o shone in a dazzling aquamarine pantsuit by Chanel, paired with coordinated accessories and sparkling rhinestones adorning her eyebrows.
  • Bad Bunny showcased his Puerto Rican heritage in a layered brown Prada ensemble, complete with a traditional pava hat and an oversized leather bag.
  • Pharrell Williams opted for a sleek aesthetic in a tailored Louis Vuitton outfit featuring black pants, a crisp white jacket, a matching black tie, and exquisite Tiffany & Co. jewelry.
  • Serena Williams channeled old Hollywood elegance in a stunning icy blue Moncler gown that shimmered with a glittering long coat and vintage golden finger waves.
