From Colman Domingo to Tyler Mitchell.
The 2025 Met Gala has officially wrapped, and the stars who flooded the red (or should we say blue?) carpet are either tucked into bed or off to the mid-week after-parties. Meanwhile, we’re already in pajamas with a glass of wine in hand, ready to rehash the jaw-dropping fashion moments that had us pausing, zooming in, and gasping from the couch last night.
For our best-dressed list, we’re spotlighting the guests who actually followed the theme: “Tailored for You.” Most attendees leaned into tailoring, giving us a range of sharp, stylish takes on suiting — but let’s be clear, the basic black-and-white tux brigade didn’t make the cut. The Met Gala is about innovation and individuality, and frankly, the only suits that caught our eye were worn by powerful Black women channeling Harlem royalty. As for the men? We see suits on you every year.
This list is for the ones who got it. The ones who honored Black designers and tastemakers, who understood the assignment, and who paid thoughtful tribute to the Costume Institute’s new exhibit, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.
Our Top Ten of the Night
Colman Domingo honoring Andre Leon Talley (and then reappearing in a fantastic suit)
Diana Ross, who had her family tree embroidered on the train of her dress
Gigi Hadid honoring Zelda Wynn Valdes, who dressed Josephine Baker in a similar look
Doechii appearing in Louis Vuitton and puffing on a fake cigar like a business tycoon
Pharell Williams wearing a pinstripe suit detailed with pearls
Khaby Lame show-stopping in Fendi
Monica L. Miller, one of the designers of the exhibit, had cowrie shells embroidered on her blazer — a shell with the historical significance of bringing protection within Black culture
Zendaya embracing a simple suit, but with the tailoring so perfect and detailed we had to include it
Sydney Sweeney highlighting flapper culture in a stunning Miu Miu dress
Lizzo puffing on a faux cigarette holder with a look inspired by jazz history
Our Honorable Mentions
Jennie from Blackpink in Chanel couture inspired by the 1920s and ‘30s
Angel Reese wearing a stunning Thom Browne skirt suit set (tailored to perfection)
Tyler Mitchell in a white Grace Wales Bonner suit with a feather boa (now this is how men should wear a suit to the Met). 🌀
