Met Gala 2025 - The Best Dressed

In no particular order.

The 2025 Met Gala took place on Monday night with the exhibition ‘‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’’ was accompanied by the ‘‘Tailored For You’’ dress code.

Ranging from looks that were far from the themes associated with this year’s event, to those that paid homage to figures like Andre Leon Talley and the ones that explored tailoring, identity and style in the formation of Black style, there were only a few that really caught the eye in what most fashionistas agree was the most beautiful carpet to adorn the steps of the Met in recent years. Ahead, check out this writer’s picks for the best-dressed of the event.
