In a stunning appearance just after 10 p.m., Rihanna captivated the crowd at the 2025 Met Gala. The pop icon and business mogul showcased her bare legs in a chic skirt-suit designed by Marc Jacobs, drawing attention not just for her fashion choice but also for her baby bump, which she proudly displayed. Despite the damp and dreary weather in New York City, the Met Gala attracted an array of celebrities from various cultural backgrounds, all eager to showcase their unique styles.
The event featured a lively procession of stars walking down the iconic blue carpet. Among the notable attendees were Madonna, Stevie Wonder, and Andre 3000, the latter making a bold fashion statement by sporting a piano as a backpack. This year's Met Gala celebrated the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute exhibition titled “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” The theme emphasized the contributions of designers of color, marking a significant moment in fashion history.
Fashion luminary Anna Wintour, the chief content officer of Condé Nast and editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, hosted the event alongside co-chairs ASAP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and Pharrell Williams. Although honorary chair LeBron James announced earlier in the day that he would not attend due to a knee injury, his wife, Savannah James, made an appearance, ensuring his presence was felt at the gala.
This year’s exhibition is particularly groundbreaking as it is the first in two decades dedicated exclusively to men’s wear and focuses on the artistic contributions of designers of color. The interpretations of the theme varied widely, leading to a diverse range of fashion statements on the blue carpet. Guests had the opportunity to choose and share their favorite looks from the evening, highlighting the innovative spirit of the event.
The 2025 Met Gala not only showcased dazzling fashion but also honored the rich tapestry of Black style in the fashion industry, making it a memorable night for all involved. Stay tuned for more highlights and featured looks from this spectacular event.
