The Best Dressed Stars From the 2025 Met Gala

The 2025 Met Gala has officially come to a close. While tonight’s star-studded red carpet in New York City brought forward countless major fashion moments, a select few attendees stood out from the stylish pack.

The best dressed stars of the night paid close attention to this year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” as well as the dress code, Tailored for You. Unsurprisingly, all of the 2025 co-chairs made the cut: A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, as well as honorary co-chair LeBron James. Each of the co-chairs interpreted tailoring in their own original ways, offering a fresh and contemporary approach to suiting. Rocky, for one, wore his own AWGE design that featured a slick double-breasted technical wool jacket; It was inspired by the outdoorsy Marmot jackets that he would see around Harlem growing up. “Marmots are a Harlem tradition,” Rocky told Vogue during his final fitting. “That was our teenage jacket.”

A slick array of blazers, slacks, and ties abounded. Whether shorts suits (Doechii in Louis Vuitton!), formal tailcoats or vests worn without jackets—suiting dominated the night in all different forms and iterations.

A few gowns and skirt looks were also worthy of a best-dressed nod—like Anne Hathaway’s Carolina Herrera shirt and ball gown, an homage to the great André Leon Talley. Cynthia Erivo dazzled in a shimmering jacket and ball skirt by Givenchy. In a custom Ugo Mozie design, Diana Ross also floated up the Met steps in a cascading gown that featured an 18-foot train—embroidered with the names of her own children and grandchildren, for a personal touch. Overall, it proved to be one of the most stylish, memorable Met Gala carpets in history.
