Met Gala 2025 Best Dressed: Zendaya, La La Anthony, Miley Cyrus, Nicole Kidman nail the ‘Superfine Black Style' theme; SRK, Priyanka Chopra, Diljit fail to make it
Met Gala 2025 has come to a wrap, and some big names and gala regulars like Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez, Blake Lively, and Jennifer Lopez were noticeably missing. However, those who attended were in a race to ace this year's theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' From Zendaya's gorgeously dandy Louis Vuitton outfit to Diana Ross' dramatic 18-foot train, Vogue's roundup of the best-dressed celebrities spotlights those who not only impressed with their visuals but fully embraced the evening's sartorial spirit. Among the standouts were La La Anthony, Miley Cyrus, Coco Jones, and over 30 others who proved that when it comes to nailing a theme, they understood the assignment. While this year Asian and Indian celebrities also showed dominance, none of them were mentioned in the edition's main list. India was represented this year by Shah Rukh Khan, Diljit Dosanjh, Kiara Advani and Met regular Priyanka Chopra. However, none of them made it to the coveted list.
Here's everyone who topped Met Gala 2025's best dressed list.

For the night, all the co-chairs, including A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, and Lewis Hamilton, passed the 'on-theme mark' with flying colours. However, the one who impressed the most was event host La La Anthony, who, according to the magazine, understood the theme just aptly and grabbed the No. 1 spot on the list. La La arrived in an archival Virgil Abloh, flaunting a split couture half-pants suit and half-gown from the off-white collection. Academy Award-nominated Domingo rocked his custom Valentino, laced with diamonds and crystals, making a clever inclusion of the theme with a blue cape inspired by a church choir robe and 1940s suit looks. Williams wore a custom-designed double-breast suit for himself, embellished and decked in 18k gold and Tiffany & Co. high-end collection. Helen Lasichanh complemented Pharrell Williams in another LV piece. Tyler Mitchell in Wales Bonner was another surprising addition to the best-dressed celeb looks. Kerry Washington in Jonathan Simkhai was truly a sight to behold with the tailored white jacket look and sheer A-line skirt, finishing the look with Chopard diamonds.

Another highlight of the night was Gigi Hadid, the supermodel stunned in her golden Miu Miu couture. Zoe Saldaña in Thom Browne's gown, which took almost 10,000 hours of handwork, was worth the hype. Anne Hathaway in Carolina Herrera was probably the most casual fit of the night, yet it was named one of the best, and as the luxury house's creative director puts it, 'It is a moral code to dress well. Whatever your budget, you can wear a white shirt … and be well dressed.'

Spelling Zaki: Teen with Telangana roots stings the Spelling Bee
Hyderabad: Fresh off his triumph at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in the US, 13-year-old Faizan Zaki reflects on a remarkable journey — from a small private school classroom to one of America's most prestigious academic stages. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Indian-American teen clinched the championship by correctly spelling "éclaircissement," a French word meaning "an enlightening explanation." Faizan, generous at heart, plans to donate part of his $50,000 prize money to support underprivileged communities in both the US and India. "I've been blessed with opportunities, but I know many others aren't as fortunate," he says. "We haven't finalised where to donate yet, but I hope my contribution gives others a chance to shine." His spelling bee journey began in first grade when his school made participation mandatory. "I got lucky and won, and that success motivated me to aim higher," he recalls. But his early years were far from easy. "I started as a rookie with little knowledge of language patterns, roots, and exceptions," he says. Things changed when he joined a group chat of fellow spellers, where he picked up vital strategies and coaching tips. Faizan's preparation was intense. He read dictionaries, studied thousands of words using SpellPundit, and often stayed up past 2 am juggling homework and spelling practice. "Balancing both was tough," he admits. Crucial to his success were his coaches, who conducted rapid-fire drills to plug his weak spots. Faizan also relied on Google Sheets to track tricky words and used Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary to master obscure etymologies and letter patterns. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Born and raised in the US, Faizan's roots trace back to Telangana. His father, Anwar Zaki, hails from Khammam, while his mother, Dr Arshia Quadri, is from Hyderabad and studied medicine at Gandhi Medical College. The family has made regular visits to India, with the most recent one in July 2023. "This year, we had to skip the trip due to Faizan's preparation, but we plan to visit again soon," says Anwar, who has lived in the US since 1997. Faizan remembers the moment the final word was announced. "I recognised it instantly. I knew I had it," he says. "Spelling each letter clearly, I felt relief and joy when I realised I'd won. It was the culmination of a seven-year journey." His victory sparked celebrations not just in the US but also in Hyderabad and Khammam. "My grandma from Khammam and aunt called us right after the news broke — they were thrilled," he says. "I love visiting Hyderabad and Khammam — the kindness of people, the amazing food, and the mix of greenery and modernity always stay with me," Faizan says. Representing the Indian-American community on such a big stage was also deeply meaningful. "My dad always said, 'This win is for the entire Indian diaspora,' and that inspired me to push harder." A fan of competitive maths, Faizan hopes to pursue it further. Outside academics, he enjoys playing the viola, speedcubing, and hanging out with friends — many of whom he met through spelling bees and still keeps in touch with. "These friendships are among the most rewarding parts of my journey," he says.
