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.
#23 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.

#24 Wendi Deng Murdoch
The gold and the white together just make Wendi Deng Murdoch look like a Greek goddess.

#25 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.

#26 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.

#27 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.”

#28 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.

#29 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.

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.

#33 Pamela Anderson
Simple and stunning. Oddly enough, the shape in the bottom of her dress adds a nice little volume to the whole look.

#34 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.

#35 Heidi Klum
The Queen of Halloween is more than capable of swerving looks in a simple, black dress, as well.

#37 Christian Latchman
The additional drape that flows out from Christian Latchman’s suit makes him stand out in the best way possible.

#39 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.
