Image:via AFP Dr. Precious Moloi-Motsepe made a striking first appearance at the Met Gala 2025 in alignment with the AfroDandy theme. Styled by her longtime friend, renowned designer David Tlale, her ensemble reimagined 70s-inspired bell-bottom pants through a couture lens. The structured suit featured an off-shoulder neckline with sculptural tailoring and a dramatic train, marrying traditional elegance with avant-garde sophistication. The fabric choice—an opulent jacquard in soft cream and gold hues—added depth and luxury, while the bold, sculptural headpiece introduced a touch of Afro-futurism and whimsical flair, making the entire look both regal and fashion-forward. Moloi-Motsepe is the founder and CEO of African Fashion International and they are one of the major funders for the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" exhibition at the Met Museum. Speaking to AFI, red carpet correspondent actress Nomzamo Mbatha, Moloi-Motsepe shared her thoughts about being at the Met Gala. "It's an important cultural moment, recognition of black excellence and talent from Africa." Video Player is loading.
