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.
Lupita Nyong'o
Jodie Turner-Smith
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
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.
Cardi B
She looks so fabulous! Her hair is 🤌! And that green suit is stunning. 💚💚💚
Ugbad Abdi
Teyana Taylor
The mixture of red and black in a breathtaking outfit are sure to make sure all eyes gravitate on Teyana Taylor.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
Angela Bassett
Andra Day
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.”
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.
Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg and her stylist knew exactly what the theme was and stuck to it so well.
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.
Love this!! Not on theme, but it's so striking that I don't care.
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.
Maluma
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.
She's stunning! I love the beautiful simplicity of this dress and the gloves are so classy. Absolutely gorgeous.
Wendi Deng Murdoch
The gold and the white together just make Wendi Deng Murdoch look like a Greek goddess.
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.
I watched them arrive in person; they were hilarious, camping up to the photographers, a pleasure to watch
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.
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.”
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.
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.
Ego Nwodim
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.
Madonna
Doechii
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.
Demi Moore
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.
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.
Heidi Klum
The Queen of Halloween is more than capable of swerving looks in a simple, black dress, as well.
Christian Latchman
The additional drape that flows out from Christian Latchman’s suit makes him stand out in the best way possible.
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.
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.
Miley Cyrus
Sam Smith
Simple and to the point. The little flower and mustache are also a fun, quirky addition.
Cynthia Erivo
despise this woman and I don't know why; she's chokingly and obnoxiously egotistical
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa’s whole outfit just gives the perfect vibe of walking the red carpet, ready to impress. Black and silver are quickly proving to be a classic of the night.
Nicole Kidman
Kendall Jenner
Maya Hawke
Megan Thee Stallion
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.
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 🤷♀️
Right? I mean, I like fashion, but most of this is trash, and it really does nothing for anyone except people with money.
