Met Gala 2025 red carpet: See what Diana Ross, Colman Domingo, Kim Kardashian and more wore to fashion’s biggest night

The Met Gala is known for uniting stars for a night of theatrical fashion, and the 2025 event was no exception. This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” celebrated the legacy and influence of Black fashion, and specifically Black dandyism, a cultural movement where Black people used sharp fashion to reclaim power and dignity through stylish expression. With the dress code “Tailored for You,” celebrities arrived at the Met Gala in looks that not only tipped a hat to this era of Black style, but also honored the craftsmanship of custom fashion.

And some stars? They simply did it better than others — or, rather, the designers and stylists behind their look did. From floor-sweeping and sequined gowns to surprising bodysuits, pantsuits and just plain suits, here are the stars who made the Met Gala this year.

Teyana Taylor

Singer Teyana Taylor pulled out all the stops for her crimson Met Gala look, which included a carpet-sweeping cape, cane and a literal feather in her cap. The outfit was designed by Taylor herself alongside Black Panther costume designer Ruth E. Carter, and is full of tiny details, including the words “Harlem rose” stitched into her train. Taylor, a native of New York City’s Harlem neighborhood, released the song “Rose in Harlem” in 2018.

Colman Domingo

The Sing Sing actor and cochair of the Met Gala sported an ode to Black dandyism complete with larger-than-life accessories, like the floral broach. His stylist, Micah McDonald, told Variety, “We wanted to make sure that Colman felt like the Colman that we all know. And also feel like there was a relaxed feel to it there, this effortless feel to it that felt like home.”

Chappell Roan

The singer made her Met Gala debut this year, but she might as well have been headed for the “pink pony club” in her hot pink patchwork pantsuit complete with beading.

Quinta Brunson

The Abbott Elementary icon went for a black and white pinstripe look. She sported a long gown and matching jacket, complete with a single red rose pinned to her jacket.

Diana Ross

The music icon, who was accompanied by her son Evan Ross Katz, took up space on the carpet with a larger-than-life white feathered train that had to be carried by multiple people. But take a closer look and you’ll see something else special: Ross also had the names of her grandchildren embroidered into the train.

The outfit was completed by a matching hat and a body-hugging sparkling silver gown, all of which was designed by Ross and Nigerian fashion designer Ugo Mozie.

Zendaya

The Euphoria star looked mysterious and chic as ever in an all-white suit and oversized white hat from Louis Vuitton.

Regina King

The Watchmen alum took to the carpet in an embroidered navy blue ensemble from New York-based designers Tela D’Amore and Ev Bravado, cofounders of fashion label Who Decides War.

Demi Moore

The star of The Substance looked like a piece of art at the Met Gala in a sculptural outfit designed by Thom Browne that also featured more than 1 million beads. However, take a closer look and you’ll notice that her nod to tailoring is obvious — her outfit is actually designed to look like a necktie!

Miley Cyrus

For the “Flowers” singer, who made her return to the Met Gala after a six-year break, the event was all about the abs. She bore her stomach while wearing a fitted, cropped leather jacket, which she paired with a black drop-waist maxi skirt.

Sabrina Carpenter

The pint-sized pop princess had a pantsless party at the Met Gala in her crimson bodysuit from Louis Vuitton creative director Pharrell Williams.

Laura Harrier

The Spider-Man: Homecoming actress wore an all-white outfit with sheer balloon sleeves on the carpet. The look was designed by Zac Posen in the Gap Studio and is the designer’s first-ever time crafting a Met Gala look that includes pants.

Lorde

The “Ribs” singer, who is releasing new music this summer, wore a gray bandeau top with a matching maxi skirt and tailored jacket from Thom Browne to the event.

Walton Goggins

The White Lotus star made his debut in an inside-out black skirt and overcoat by Thom Browne, which he paired with a white shirt and black tie.

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian, a Met Gala regular since her debut in 2013, arrived later in the evening wearing a fitted leather two-piece from Chrome Hearts, a brand she has supported and worn for several big events over the last few years. To pair with her outfit, she wore a diamond necklace with matching earrings by Moussaieff.

Charli XCX

Singer Charli XCX took a break from her Brat tour to wear custom Ann Demeulemeester by Stefano Gallici to the Met Gala, marking the first time someone has worn the Belgian label to the event.

Janelle Monáe

The actress and singer stepped out in a larger-than-life Thom Browne creation that was reminiscent of a suit. Upon her arrival at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, costume designer Paul Tazewell tore away the first layer of Monáe’s look to reveal a more fitted, two-toned Thom Browne suit underneath.

Doechii

The “Alter Ego” rapper sported a custom Louis Vuitton short suit for the Met Gala, and even brought along a cigar to complete the look.

Simone Biles

Simone Biles wore a custom Harbison Studio high-low blue dress with floral appliqués, a white collar and a flowing train.

Gigi Hadid

The model went for the gold in a sleek, crystal-lined gold halter gown by Miu Miu, which was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson of the Guest in Residence. The look, according to Harper’s Bazaar, was a nod to Black fashion designer Zelda Wynn Valdez as well as dancer and singer Josephine Baker, who Quinta Brunson also honored with her look.

Rihanna

After revealing her third pregnancy with a gray two-piece look snapped by photographers earlier in the day, the perpetually fashionably late Rihanna finally hit the Met Gala carpet in a pinstripe skirt, black hat and red polka dot tie.
