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.

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.

#10 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.”

#17 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.

#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.
