Mon May 05 22:00:00 UTC 2025: ## SNL Star Ego Nwodim Makes Striking Met Gala Debut
**New York, NY** – Saturday Night Live star Ego Nwodim made a memorable Met Gala debut on May 5th, captivating the red carpet with a show-stopping look. The 37-year-old comedian, co-hosting Vogue’s livestream alongside Teyana Taylor and La La Anthony, chose a custom archival Christopher John Rogers three-piece suit for the “Superfine: Tailoring Back Style” themed event. The black silk suit, featuring a billowing peplum waist, blazer-style top, and subtle polka dot detailing, was further enhanced by colorful buttons down the sleeves and a dazzling diamond necklace.
Nwodim’s look was completed by an extravagant, towering updo styled by Miles Jeffries, which she described as “carrying art on my head.” The hairstyle, she joked, added several inches to her height, making her feel like she was “giving 6’2””. Even her manicure was themed, featuring miniature buttons to match her suit, a process she said took around two hours.
While excited to see the other guests’ outfits, Nwodim confessed her main anticipation for the evening was the food, stating, “I’m a food girly, so I’m ready to eat.” Her first Met Gala experience was clearly a success, leaving a lasting impression with her unique and memorable ensemble.
