Celebrity Style
Sydney Sweeney, Zendaya, & More Of The Met Gala’s Best-Dressed Stars
The theme was well-interpreted.
The Met Gala, aka the day fashion girlies wait for all year long, has officially come... and gone — and the 2025 gathering didn’t disappoint.
As is tradition, the prestigious fête draws an exclusive, curated guest list. And the A-list invitees, who consider it a privilege to make the cut, plan their looks months in advance, depending on the yearly theme.
For this year’s celebration, held on May 5, the theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. Thankfully, this year’s roster of chic attendees understood the assignment.
Sydney Sweeney, who regularly knocks the theme out of the park, traipsed up the iconic Met steps wearing a jazz-inspired beaded number. Meanwhile, Teyana Taylor interpreted the sharp tailor-focused dress code regally in layered and powerful silhouettes. Even first-time attendees like Sadie Sink showed up and showed out in a mishmash of textures.
Below, you’ll find all of these and more of the best-dressed celebs who graced the 2025 Met Gala’s blue carpet.
Zendaya
In the past, Zendaya went for overtly dramatic numbers. This year, however, she kept it simple in a crisp Louis Vuitton suit with a cinched waist, flared trousers, and a floppy hat.
Cardi B
Cardi B and Burberry were a match made in fashion heaven. Need proof? This green-on-green plunging velvet suit that was a decadent, Victorian era-inspired take on dandyism.
Coco Jones
Jones interpreted tailoring spicily with her cream tuxedo dress sans bra. The ornately beaded piece featured a dramatic train that framed her equally decadent pants perfectly. Plus, peep her near floor-length braid.
Sydney Sweeney
Instead of going the tailored route, Sweeney channeled the 1920s Jazz Age with a flapper-esque beaded number from Miu Miu. It featured a massive keyhole cutout with a floral appliqué accent. But the most direct reference was the “finger swirl” hair styling. So good.
Sadie Sink
For her Met Gala debut, the Stranger Things star wore a custom Prada black dress with a lace underlay. All in all, a success.
Teyana Taylor
Tailoring at its finest? The singer-songwriter served just that in a Zoot suit by costume designer Ruth E. Carter, featuring a burgundy vest and matching power shoulder coat.
Doja Cat
Marc Jacobs found a new muse in Doja Cat, who, on the same day, starred in the label’s Pre-Fall 2025 campaign. The designer dressed the “Woman” rapper in a pantless, tuxedo bodysuit, which featured exaggerated boxy shoulders and two opposing patterns: leopard and pinstripe. She completed her look with sheer tights, the label’s iconic Kiki boots, and a fuzzy hat.
Doechii
While pantsuits were expected, Doechii went the more playful route in a shorts suit. Dressed in Louis Vuitton, she wore a four-piece cream set with a crisp button-down, vest, tailcoat, and shorts, bearing the French label’s signature monograms. For a touch of color, she added oxblood accents including a silk bow, socks, and Mary Janes.
Diana Ross
The queen of the night was Diana Ross, who showed up on the carpet in a look created by her, her son Evan, and the Nigerian designer Ugo Mozie, according to Vogue. She paired the bedazzled slip dress with an uber-dramatic cape that nearly spanned the length of the steps. The show-stopping cloak also featured a sweet detail: It was embroidered with the names of her family members.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter left quite an impression in a pantless Louis Vuitton by Pharrell Williams maroon bodysuit and matching cinched, cropped tuxedo blazer with a train. Carpenter told Vogue that Pharrell, the label’s creative director and one of this year’s Met Gala co-chairs, instructed her to go the no-pants route himself, saying, “You’re quite short, so no pants for you.” It worked.
Venus Williams
Venus Williams represented tenniscore in custom Lacoste, by way of a pleated skirt and bedazzled collared shirt. She zhuzhed up her look with a tinsel-trimmed coat and loafers in the same shade of fir green.
Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid’s gilded Miu Miu gown was an homage to Zelda Wynn Valdes, she told Vogue during the blue carpet interview. Valdes, the first Black designer to open a Black-owned boutique in Manhattan, dressed the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Josephine Baker.
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa took it back to 1920s flapper dressing in a feather- and crystal-embellished see-through LBD from Chanel. No notes.
Jenna Ortega
Wednesday Addams who? Jenna Ortega ditched her usual gothic style sensibilities for one night when she went the futuristic all-metal route in a strapless, plunging Balmain dress made entirely out of metal rulers.
Kim Kardashian
Wearing her go-to label, Chrome Hearts, Kim Kardashian rolled up to the shindig in a croc-embossed leather corset and matching skirt. For a vampy-meets-cowboycore vibe, she accessorized with a cowboy hat and layers of diamond necklaces. It’s one of her best Met Gala looks to date.
