RED CARPET REPORT: MET GALA 2025

By Style Feed Staff, May 5, 2025

The crème de la crème of A-list ‘fit checks is here. Yes, the first Monday in May never comes to play, and this year’s Met Gala delivered. Although the themes tend to be instantly iconic, the celebration of the Costume Institute's new exhibition, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, made for an especially epic evening. Inside the museum, a history of Black style over three centuries through the lens of dandyism was on full display. And on the red carpet, our favorite famous faces proved they did their homework, showing up suited and booted in archival references, twists on tailoring and a parade of jaw-dropping accessories. From A$AP to Colman, see who nailed the dress code below...

PHARRELL WILLIAMS

As a producer, performer, and prolific fashion designer who always stays true to his signature steeze, Pharrell is a certified menswear icon. To stunt as the night's co-chair, Skateboard P embraced pearls (100,000 of them, to be exact) by way of a double-breasted blazer and his beloved flares. The team behind it? His crew at Louis Vuitton (where he currently serves as Men's Creative Director).

COLMAN DOMINGO

Did you really think Colman Domingo wouldn't have a mid-carpet 'fit swap? The undisputed king of tailoring entered the chat in a stunning blue cape by Valentino as a nod to legendary fashion journalist André Leon Talley, and then shifted his style to a windowpane blazer topped off with polka-dot perfection. As we know, Colman is an established fan of 70s cuts, and this structured suiting is bringing all of the summer RSVP inspo.

LEWIS HAMILTON

Fresh from hitting the tracks at the Miami Grand Prix, co-chair Lewis Hamilton paid tribute to African culture in a custom three-piece suit from Wales Bonner.

A$AP ROCKY

Known globally for his OTT Met Gala moments, A$AP Rocky took his official co-chairing duties seriously this time around, rocking a Harlem-inspired suit custom-designed by AWGE (his creative agency). Intended to pay homage to Marmot jackets, the outer layer had technical details, while he brought the bling with a dazzling brooch, necklace, and earrings. Of course, Rocky's outfit wouldn't be the only reason the 'Fashion Killa' made headlines...
