Powerful, audacious and absolutely iconic, the 2025 MET Gala, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” kicked off yesterday evening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and was unforgettable.
Taking a page out of the late fashion extraordinaire , Andre Leon Talley fashion book, the theme spotlighted Black dandyism, a cultural movement highlighting black identity through fashion and style to communicate autonomy, resistance, and agency.
For the history making moment, stars stepped into the spotlight donning the sharpest tailored suiting, with bold brim hats and polished shoes, paying homage to black creativity and influence in the fashion industry. The event raised a record-breaking 31-million in fundraising, proving that when you give everyone a seat at the table, historic things can happen.
Our Fashion Bomb CEO, Claire Sulmers was on the MET Gala carpet in one of the hottest red suits designed by Swanky Jerry, as she interviewed celebs like Jodie Smith, Angela Bassett, Dwayne Wade, Issa Rae, Tems, and Simone Biles.
With Rihanna debuting her adorable baby bump in an avant-garde Marc Jacobs look, and Teyana Taylor serving layers of black storytelling in a grey and red custom Ruthe Carter suit, this will undoubtedly be one of the most talked about MET Gala’s.
In addition to the legendary Diana Ross, and Lauryn Hill arriving in over-the-top Eleven Sixteen, and Cheney Chan ensembles, this year celebrities made a grand entrance, taking calculated risks in some of the most brilliant bespoke garments.
Ahead, see all the stars who illuminated on the carpet, and served as a catalyst for inspiration in a plethora of multidimensional ways.
