A Night of Black, White, and Aquamarine Elegance

The 2025 Met Gala was a visual feast, with a predominant palette of black, white, and aquamarine, highlighting the art of tailoring while celebrating Black culture and style.

 

From fresh interpretations of classic silhouettes to daring modern takes, celebrities shined in looks that paid homage to tradition while pushing fashion boundaries.

Highlights in White: Retro Glamour and Modern Dandyism

White was undeniably a star color of the night, with some of the most breathtaking looks centered around this pure hue.

 

Notably, Zendaya stunned in a custom Louis Vuitton ensemble, crafted under Pharrell Williams‘ creative direction. Her look embodied modern femininity with a nod to vintage glam, echoing 70s chic reminiscent of Bianca Jagger.

 

Zendaya’s impeccable tailoring and signature style brought fresh elegance to the event, reaffirming her position as a fashion trendsetter.

Meanwhile, Diana Ross made a monumental return to the Met Gala after a two-decade hiatus. Her show-stopping ivory – silver gown featured intricate embroidery and a jaw-dropping 18-foot-long train, carried by five attendants.

 

What made this Ugo Mozie’s gown extraordinary was the personal touch—stitched with the names of all her children and grandchildren, transforming it into a “family gown,” a truly heartfelt tribute to her legacy. Ross’s look symbolized regal dandyism with feathers and vintage grandeur, paying homage to late 19th-century opulence.

Adding to the white elegance, Lewis Hamilton appeared in an ivory tailored suit by Wales Bonner, blending modern luxury with classic refinement. Madonna also turned heads, arriving in a sleek white Tom Ford creation, subtly reaffirming her status as a style icon.

Surprises and Celebrity Highlights

The night wasn’t just about established icons—surprises kept the audience captivated. Rihanna revealed her third pregnancy in an elegant suit, while Damson Ibris stole the spotlight with his dramatic reveal.

The F1 movie actor initially appeared in a striking driver suit, which he dramatically ripped away to unveil a stunning, sleek red Tommy Hilfiger ensemble matching his racing helmet. His appearance highlighted the modern intersection of film, racing, and fashion.

Aquamarine: A Subtle, Yet Striking Choice

Another color palette that made an impact was light aquamarine, symbolizing serenity and sophistication. Anna Wintour, the event’s legendary chair, paid a subtle yet powerful homage to the theme with her custom Louis Vuitton coat-dress, adorned with a heart-shaped brooch.

 

Beneath the outerwear, she wore a bespoke silk gown with intricate embroidery—highlighting the theme of tailored excellence. Wintour’s signature heels by Manolo Blahnik completed her poised look.
