The 2025 Met Gala’s Best Dressed: Tailored, Timeless & Totally Iconic
The 2025 Met Gala was a stunning celebration of Black style, suiting, and self-expression. This year’s theme — “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” — paid tribute to the historical elegance of Black fashion, particularly the art of dandyism from the 18th century through today.
Of course our fave of the evening was the lovely Nicki Minaj, who wore a very elegant and understated gown. She was also draped in about a million dollars in diamonds and rare antique pearls.
The dress code, “Tailored for You,” encouraged guests to put their own spin on classic tailoring — and let’s just say, the stars delivered.
From red carpet royalty to couples that coordinated and conquered, these celebs brought the glam, the grace, and the bold Black brilliance we live for. Here are the best dressed who showed us exactly how it’s done — no stitching specifics needed.
Rihanna
Rihanna doesn’t attend events — she creates moments. With her signature presence and flawless eye for fashion, she reminded everyone why she remains one of the most influential style icons of our generation. Effortless. Powerful. Unmatched.
And she worked that baby bump too. Remember when WE broke sth news she was pregnant last month??
LaLa Anthony
Always polished and poised, LaLa brought major energy to the carpet. She carried herself with confidence and cool sophistication, proving yet again that her fashion sense is just as sharp as her media game.
Diana Ross
A living legend. Diana radiated pure diva energy and timeless elegance. She walked the carpet like it was created just for her — because, honestly, it kind of was. A true blueprint of grace and glamour.
Megan Thee Stallion
Megan knows how to serve presence, and this year was no different. She exuded maturity, magnetism, and main character energy, commanding the carpet like the superstar she is. A certified beauty and a total boss.
Doja Cat
Doja’s fashion always feels like performance art, and she didn’t disappoint. She brought her signature blend of boldness, creativity, and confidence that keeps everyone watching — and wondering what she’ll do next. We love the risk, and we love the reward.
Simone Biles
Graceful and grounded, Simone radiated strength and sophistication. She continues to grow into a red carpet powerhouse with the same quiet intensity she brings to the gym — but now, with an extra dose of glam.
Pharrell & Helen Lasichanh
This couple defines cool. Their coordinated look felt perfectly balanced — stylish without trying too hard, bold without being loud. They prove that tailoring isn’t just about fashion — it’s about attitude, and theirs is effortlessly refined.
Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz
This duo brought a beautiful harmony to the carpet. Alicia always knows how to blend artistry with elegance, while Swizz exudes creative cool. Together, they were the picture of power, passion, and perfectly synced style.
Russell Wilson & Ciara
Ciara and Russell know how to show up and shut it down. Their red carpet chemistry is unmatched, and their coordinated look was pure sophistication. They continue to be couple goals in every possible way.
Teyana Taylor
Teyana is a force. She brings edge, emotion, and presence to everything she does — including fashion. Her look was confident, commanding, and cool as ever. She’s in her own lane, and we love to see her driving it.
Zoe Saldana
Zoe always exudes quiet confidence, and her presence on the carpet felt graceful, poised, and refreshingly effortless. She has a way of letting her energy — not just her fashion — do the talking. A vision.
Zendaya
Zendaya doesn’t just walk carpets — she owns them. With every step, she reminded us why she’s the fashion darling of a generation. She’s daring, deliberate, and consistently one step ahead. Icon status: confirmed.
And Venus Williams was just breathtaking.
