**New York, NY** – The 2025 Met Gala, fashion’s biggest night, unfolded on Monday, May 5th, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dazzling attendees and viewers with a spectacular display of high fashion and celebrity appearances. This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” celebrated the enduring influence of Black men on fashion, from the 18th century to the present day, and was reflected in many of the evening’s looks.

The star-studded event was co-chaired by Anna Wintour, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Pharrell Williams, with a host committee including Simone Biles, Jonathan Owens, Doechii, Regina King, Spike Lee, Angel Reese, and Usher.

The red carpet saw a parade of iconic looks. Rihanna, announcing her third pregnancy with A$AP Rocky, stunned in a hybrid suit dress. Kim Kardashian made a bold statement in head-to-toe leather by Chrome Hearts. Stevie Wonder made a rare red carpet appearance, glittering in a bespoke ensemble. Newlyweds Jalen Hurts and Bryonna Burrows debuted their marital bliss in coordinated Burberry. Doechii collaborated with Pharrell Williams on a Louis Vuitton suit, drawing inspiration from the exhibit’s curatorial sources. Cynthia Erivo’s intricate manicure, a testament to the theme, stole the show. Even exes Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan made separate, yet equally stylish appearances.

Gigi Hadid, celebrating her 30th birthday, showcased a custom Miu Miu dress inspired by Zelda Wynn Valdes, while Demi Moore commanded attention with a dramatic crescent moon headpiece. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner made their red carpet debut as a couple. Pamela Anderson and her son Brandon Thomas Lee made a stylish mother-son appearance. Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens showcased complementary looks, exemplifying the many couples gracing the event. Stranger Things co-stars Maya Hawke and Sadie Sink reunited at a pre-Gala gathering.

Zendaya’s custom Louis Vuitton three-piece suit was another highlight, as was Diana Ross’s show-stopping white gown and feathered hat, requiring the assistance of her son Evan Ross. Anna Wintour arrived with co-chairs Domingo and Hamilton, setting the tone for the evening. A gospel choir’s performance of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” added a soulful touch to the festivities.

While the night was filled with glamour, there were also some notable absences. Naomi Campbell, citing personal reasons, skipped the event, and LeBron James was forced to withdraw due to injury, sending his wife Savannah in his stead.

The Met Gala also offered a sneak peek at the accompanying exhibition, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which explores the significant contributions of Black men to the world of fashion. The event’s overall success was a testament to the enduring power of fashion as a form of self-expression and cultural influence.
