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.

#1

Zendaya

Zendaya being on our best dressed list should be no surprise. Every Met Gala so far, the actress has stunned with her outfits.

    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.

    Coco Jones

    Woman in an intricate cream gown posing on the red carpet at Met Gala 2025 amid floral decorations and attendees.

    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.

    Sarah Snook

    Actress wearing a black tailored suit with red lining on the Met Gala 2025 red carpet, photographers in the background.

    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.

    Zoe Saldana

    Woman in a black and white gown with high slit posing on the Met Gala 2025 red carpet.

    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.

    Colman Domingo (Robe-Less) And Raúl Domingo

    Two men posing at Met Gala 2025 wearing bold, stylish suits as red carpet looks start breaking the internet.

    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.

    As one user on X said, “That suit is clean, best look I’ve seen tonight.”

    Jamie Singer Soros

    Woman in a vibrant blue gown and wide-brimmed hat posing on the Met Gala 2025 red carpet with photographers in background

    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.

    Gigi Hadid

    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.

    Actress in white floral gown and black gloves posing on the Met Gala 2025 red carpet with floral decorations in background.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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