The 2025 Met Gala stared Monday 5th of May in New York City with the theme "superfine, tailoring black style." The even was hosted by Anna and featured Co chairs Colman Domingo along with Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Pharrell Williams alongside LeBron James as Honour chair. The theme was a take on celebrating 300 years of black self-expression and dandyism inspired by Monica L. Miller's book and slaves to fashion. The events major fundraiser that year was for the Metropolitan Museum of arts costume institute.


Many celebrities attended the even in a large broader variety of outfits. There was a higher percentage of people more unique takes, basing the theme more so loosely or not at all.

Took tailoring literally with a metal ruler–inspired Balmain gown, creatively symbolizing craftsmanship, her warm makeup went well to take away from the coldness she must have felt from those stainless steel rulers



Those absolute queens were spot on along with proving that you can follow the theme while being your unique self! They added such contrast to those textualized in depth prompts!

Sparked debate for “pants less” ensembles with exposed legs and blazers, critics felt they are missing classic tailoring elements. The theme was not seen through their methods of styling or pairing through the audiences eyes, the camera flashed but heads turned in confusion instead of admiration if we're talking on point.



Those are some of the examples of viewpoints on theme qualities being met or unachieved in peoples eyes but do you know what else was seen?


Media outlets like People and Epic lists hub covered all the unexpected slip‑ups from “questionable underwear” peeking through glam gowns to models struggling with glued-on heels or malfunctioning attire backstage These moments became viral talking points, though mostly playful rather than scandalous almost as if a playful banter.



A Celebrity Storm feature collected over 28 savage roasting everything from cartoonish capes to mismatched group outfits, calling out how some looked more like “wearable IKEA rejects” than red carpet couture. These roasts trended across Twitter and Instagram, proceeding to fuel memes and satirical commentary.


Dua Lipa faced criticism for a “visually chaotic” custom Chanel look (sequins + feathers + bows) which fans said failed to align with the “Tailored for You” theme sparking memes and stylist chatter.


Ashley Graham handled a wardrobe malfunction with grace when a mint oil stain threatened her custom BOSS ensemble. She discreetly covered it with a diamond brooch just before hitting the red carpet and later shared the drama in a Substack post.


There was also criticism after Shah Rukh Khan was reportedly not acknowledged properly by red carpet interviewers. Fans in the South Asian and Middle Eastern communities called this out as a major oversight, considering his legendary status in global cinema.


Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz were expected to attend but reportedly pulled out last minute. Some claimed it was due to family tension at David Beckham’s birthday event, while others suggested they might not have received formal invites at all.

The queen of many themes and beloved of teenage girls. Lana Del Rey strikes with gothic tailoring meeting romantic symbolism! A wonderful tightly set bodice corset along with a gentle lacy pattern on her back empoisoning her body. The slightly Padded shoulders with a rigid regal silhouette making its way down to a slight subtle flare tapered sleeves. The minimal embellishments and Jewelry goes to show that elegance can be achieved through lighter factors to reflect off the overall outfit and give more notice to boulder features, not to much and not to little. Her outfit was the very example of the embodiment of sophistication.


That's all from yours Truly
