On the evening of May 5, the Met Gala was held at New York’s Metropolitan Museum, much to the delight of fashion enthusiasts and people-watchers alike. Let’s take a look at this year’s most beautiful looks, based on the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”.
Dedicated to funding the fashion department of New York’s Metropolitan Museum, the Met Gala takes place every year on the first Monday in May. Organized by Vogue (Condé Nast), and under the protection of Anna Wintour, in just a few years the event has become a veritable fashion super bowl. Bringing together the world’s biggest celebrities and most fashionable designers, the Met Gala 2025 featured the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” around the figure of the black dandy and the importance of clothing in black identity. The dedicated exhibition will run from May 10 to October 26.

And so, on a blue carpet dotted with flowers, the stars took to the steps of New York’s Metropolitan Museum on Monday evening (May 5) to attend the gala dinner. Rihanna announced her 3rd pregnancy with a baby bump sublimated by a Marc Jacobs look. The silhouette was composed of a brocaded mini blazer, a close-fitting grey top, a slit skirt with discreet stripes, a white collar with a short red polka-dot tie and a beautiful black hat. His partner ASAP Rocky, who was co-chairman of the Met Gala 2025, designed his own dandy outfit with a black AWGE parka inspired by the Marmot nylon jackets he wore as a child, enhanced by a three-piece suit, Louboutin patent shoes and a sequined umbrella.
