The Met Gala has returned for 2025!
Known as one of the most prestigious fashion events in the world, the annual haute couture fundraising festival is held on the first Monday of May every year and benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan.
And of course, the cherry on top involves some of our favourite stars going all out to walk the red carpet, in extravagant and otherworldly costumes.
As written by ELLE, this year’s dress code is “Tailored for You,” which is a reflection of the exhibition’s emphasis on Black menswear and suiting.
All eyes are now turning to New York as celebrities from all over the world touch down in the city that never sleeps. Fashion is subjective — after all, that’s what makes it entertaining! But with that being said, here are our favourite picks from this year’s Met Gala.

Zendaya
Zendaya being on our best dressed list should be no surprise. Every Met Gala so far, the actress has stunned with her outfits.
Gerry Higgins 7 months ago
It's perfect, for an afternoon movie premier, but the MET GALA is a bit higher on the fashion pyramid.

Diana Ross
There are no words that can describe just how stunning this dress is. The simple silver gown with the white jacket that trailed behind her made our eyes widen in absolute awe.
#5
Coco Jones
The fact that the bottom half of Coco Jones’ outfit looks completely different from the front versus the side is mesmerizing. Along with her braid, it just matches so well.

She looks so fabulous! Her hair is 🤌! And that green suit is stunning. 💚💚💚

i am just going to go there. as a nicely aged fashionista from birth...simply because some one needs to say it. i voted for myself. "pimp daddy" was a que that many designers picked up on this year. rightly some. the divine regalia of the pimps of the seventies through the ninties in American culture were powerful, colorful, and spoke volumes echoing the message" who's your daddy." i have enjoyed the tongue and cheek approach to the imagined power, grandiosity and royalty of the street pimp is on full display.

Teyana Taylor
The mixture of red and black in a breathtaking outfit are sure to make sure all eyes gravitate on Teyana Taylor.
Moonie Pinkslip 8 months ago
if she were a man, yes...that's on point for the theme.

I think there are too many design elements all together and they detract from each other.
Otto Katz 8 months ago
The reds don't play nice together. I'm not saying they don't match, they don't have to. But the suit is orange red, and the cape and flowers are purple red. They don't play nice together.
Lee Gilliland 8 months ago
That's the lighting, I saw a different pic and it looked custom dyed.

Sarah Snook
A common denominator of many of these celebrities so far is in the style of clothing they wear: a tailored suit with a flare of personality at the bottom. The pins and the hint of red with Sarah Snook’s outfit is a great touch of flavor.
#11
Zoe Saldana
We absolutely love the stark contrast of the white and black together! It’s a quirky add to this year’s theme and the extra flare on her right shoulder adds a nice pop of flavor.
#12
Colman Domingo (Robe-Less) And Raúl Domingo
It’s funny because Colman Domingo is actually on our worst-dressed list with his giant blue robe on. But the moment he took it off — it worked for us!
Raúl Domingo’s sparkling blue-purple matching suit was also topped off quite nicely with a bow around his neck.
#13
Lewis Hamilton
It fits the theme, it looks elegant and tailored well, and the accessories aren’t lacking. What more is there to ask for?
As one user on X said, “That suit is clean, best look I’ve seen tonight.”
#14
Angela Bassett
#15
Andra Day
#16
Sydney Sweeney
It’s a yes to all the sparkles and the creative take with the shoulders!
As one netizen said, “stunning is her second name.”
MsPlants 8 months ago
beautiful dress, but not the theme and she isnt a legend like Diana Ross to be able to get away with it lol. also way too much fake tan.
Mi So 8 months ago
Exactly. I don’t care how amazing some looks may be, I want to know how they fit the theme. Doesn’t fit the theme? It’s a massive “no” from me. Always love when Haute Le Mode’s YT video comes out. He’s great at explaining the influences, theme connections, etc

Jamie Singer Soros
Jamie Singer Soros just fit in with this year’s Met Gala theme so well, as it screams “tailored for her.” The top half can be seen as a reference to menswear, but the flowy skirt, bedazzled with jewels adds a nice, unique twist to it.
MsPlants 8 months ago
this outfit slaps! (hey kids did I use that word right?) the only thing I would have changed is the gloves. too much of that blue. the had and tie are amazing contrast and the suit elements rock
Cin 8 months ago
I think the gloves keeps the blue seamless. That hat tho. No. Great design. Wrong colors.

Was it on the invitation that all the women should wear suit-dresses? It seems half of them are in jacket & tie

Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg and her stylist knew exactly what the theme was and stuck to it so well.

She says it wasn't proper r**e when roman polanski r***d that child after drugging her. She's evil. Everybody needs to know.
#19
Gigi Hadid
The model stunned in a silky gold dress that hugged tight to her body, with a subtle train trailing behind her. However, a few on social media pointed out that she didn’t quite fit in with the theme.
“It’s good but it’s off theme,” one person said.
GenuineJen 8 months ago (edited)
Love this!! Not on theme, but it's so striking that I don't care.
Tyranamar 8 months ago
I was so happy to finally see a pretty dress! Who cares if it’s on theme?

Along with being stunning, actually more on theme than it seems! The dress is an homage to the 1940s Black fashion designer Zelda Wynn Valdes

Kara Young
What we’re seeing with this year’s Met Gala is that a lot of celebrities are showing up in matching outfits, and it’s working so well — especially for Kara Young.
#21
Sadie Sink
#22
Maluma
#23
Rachel Smith
Sometimes less is more, and Rachel Smith has proven exactly that.
Don’t get us wrong, there’s nothing ‘small’ about her outfit, but it’s definitely a departure from the extra flare that many associate with the Met Gala — and it works great.
GenuineJen 8 months ago
She's stunning! I love the beautiful simplicity of this dress and the gloves are so classy. Absolutely gorgeous.
#24
Wendi Deng Murdoch
The gold and the white together just make Wendi Deng Murdoch look like a Greek goddess.
Dori 8 months ago
I can see it fitting Black clothing history and it's certainly tailored well. I'm not sure I like it on her.

I don't know if I like it because I don't like Wendy Deng so everything associated with her is ick. Like the KarTrash Krowd

Dynasty Ogun And Soull Ogun
This photo specifically shows the twin designers in the best light possible. The dark and light shades contrast each other well and the pop of color isn’t too glaring.
Moonie Pinkslip 8 months ago
I watched them arrive in person; they were hilarious, camping up to the photographers, a pleasure to watch
#26
La La Anthony
Our jaws quite literally dropped on the floor the first time we saw this.
The colors, the design, the way it feels as if the left and right half of her outfit melt perfectly together… this needs to be studied.
#27
Hunter Schafer
Paying homage to menswear throughout the years. Hunter Schafer is doing the Met Gala right.
In one video showcasing the Euphoria actress and Jennie talking, one person said, “they look like they just escaped a cult and decided to slay on the way out i’m obsessed.”
Moonie Pinkslip 8 months ago
Since when was the theme of the MET Gala "Paying homage to menswear throughout the years"????

So.... a boy who thinks he's a girl is playing dress up as a boy who thinks they're a girl who is dressing like a boy..... do you see the mentalness?
#28
Anne Hathaway
As the lead actress of Devil Wears Prada, it’s no surprise Anne Hathaway is channeling her inner fashion genius. It’s classy, chic, and cute.
Miranda Priestly would most certainly agree.
Cathleen Cummings 8 months ago
A lot of these outfits are way over-the top, but this one seems beautiful and elegant. Not sure why it gets so much hate.
Dori 8 months ago
I actually agree with you. The look is supposed to be tailored, and this is very obviously not. At the least in another situation, cut down the shirt length so it's not so obviously puffy when it's tucked in.

You mean the same face she's had, and hasn't had work done to in several years? That new face?

One word: absolutely.
Ego Nwodim did a perfect job fitting into this year’s theme of honoring Black styles through time. The flare of her skirt and pants complement the tiny dash of silver and red so well.

The ALTER EGO singer really knew exactly what to wear to fit this year’s theme. Her tiny purse also gives her entire look an extra flare.

The black/ white + all of the sparkles are stunning. Love the wide black and white pattern.

Pamela Anderson
Simple and stunning. Oddly enough, the shape in the bottom of her dress adds a nice little volume to the whole look.
Tyranamar 8 months ago
I hate them. I also hate her eyebrows. I want to know when she decided, you know what I’m just going to let the whole face go. I can’t be super hot anymore so now I’m going for frumpy. Why has she decided to do this to herself? Look at Miss Diana Ross. Still smoking at 81. You don’t have to just let it all go like that.

Not her best looking outfit. And I'm not saying anything about mascara.
Bigfoot87 8 months ago
I hate that people are ok with this minimalist look that she and Alicia Keys have been on... It's a black-tie event, tickets are THOUSANDS, you're representing brands and designers... put more effort into your looks... You're PAM ANDERSON for Chrissake! You don't get to just turn into Betty White...
#34
Kwame Onwuachi
Accessories can either make or break an outfit and in this case, Kwame Onwuachi fits into the latter. The bedazzled crowd along with the extra jacket — with a hint of green — swung over his shoulder are a great touch.
Dori 8 months ago
Is it just me or does the editor not know what latter mean? They talk about making ot breaking an outfit ans the mention the latter (the second) and name accessories in a positive light as if they're making instead of breaking. Don't use the word if you don't know what it means. I don't think this fits the theme very well.
#35
Heidi Klum
The Queen of Halloween is more than capable of swerving looks in a simple, black dress, as well.

I thought 🤔 the guests WEREN'T supposed to wear all black... this is the only reason I, myself, have never been invited.😔

How does this tie into the theme? It's a pretty dress but "Superfine: Tailoring black style" it is not.

It's a lovely dress - apart from the cut-out that just looks like 'we need to do something else, anyone got any ideas?'

Christian Latchman
The additional drape that flows out from Christian Latchman’s suit makes him stand out in the best way possible.

How does anybody have a conversation with others at this place with so many massive dress trails, they'd all need to stood like 6ft apart to not step on any dresses and just screaming at each other so they can hear

Kerry Washington
Being able to see Kerry Washington’s legs through the transparent skirt would usually throw us off, but for some reason, it just works in that case. After all, we can’t think of a better alternative.

Lana Del Rey

Anna Wintour
The editor-in-chief of Vogue brought out the style in an absolutely beautiful blue suit, white dress, and of course, the matching gem. It’s cohesive and stunning.

The red stain on her right leg is visible, what a shame such a beautiful gown

Kiara Advani
As fans would say “mother is mothering.” Kiara Advani’s dress had such a fantastic mixture of gold, white, and black.

Radhika Jones
The first thing that caught our eye was the ombré. It was such a subtle, effortless color change and amped up the wow factor that much more.

Nothing too crazy is happening, and that’s a breath of fresh air when it comes to the Met Gala. Silver and white always go together, and it’s easy to see why with Megan Thee Stallion.

The dress and cape are beautiful, but that top needs to be bigger. Yes, she's got b***s, but that looks painful.

She needs to go up a size or 3 on the top. You can see the neck strap digging right in

Here to talk to the people who are going to say "who cares ?" or "Hunger Games vibe". This event is a Charity event to keep the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York open and steady. And to answer "who cares", the millions of people watching this event every year, and the millions of people who love fashion on this planet. So if you do not care about the MET Gala and the people attending it, then don't click on the article and let people enjoy it.

In my country, we have "The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity" every year in January. It is the biggest charity "gala" in the country. This year, they raised 76M United States Dollar, that's more than MET. And the purpose this year was to support PUBLIC clinics by buying diagnostic and surgical equipment for children fighting cancer. Meanwhile MET Gala raises 31M USD for the clothes museum (The Met Gala is a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute). Yeah, you have your priorities right 🤷♀️

The Metropolitan Museum of the Arts is such a truly worthy cause. I personally will never have the available funds to wear the fabulous styles showcased at the Gala. However, since around the age of ten i have had to necessary pieces of literature in my home. The Christian Bible is one. Whether or not you are a believer the basis for a successful civilization is on full display within its pages for anyone who cares to take a gander. Secondly my other holy book, Vogue. I love fashion, i live fashion and for every little girl who ever sat agape wrapped in the flickering light that presented her with Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's or giggled at Scarlet O'hara's drapery dress in Gone with the Wind, fashion is a part of our lives. I will always gaze, jealously at the footage of the Gala with the hungry eyes of that ten-year-old child. Kudos Ms. Wintour you are indeed the high holy woman of one of my religious institutions. Keep up the good work.
