Pharrell Williams Revealed The Secret Behind His Gold Grillz At The Met Gala, And People Are Calling It "So Smart"
Pharrell Williams shared the surprising reason he wore grillz to the 2025 Met Gala, and I have to admit, it's pretty creative. He served as a co-chair, alongside Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Colman Domingo, for the biggest night in fashion, so people were eager to see what they'd show up in to highlight this year's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." The famed artist and producer, who currently serves as Louis Vuitton's new Men's creative director, wore a pearl pinstripe suit with flared pants from the legacy brand. It might look like a regular suit jacket, but it was far from it. The jacket was literally made of pearls! I'm still blown away by the craftsmanship. Pharrell also designed custom ensembles for house ambassadors and friends of Louis Vuitton including, Doechii, Jeremy Allen White, Lisa, Pusha T, Henry Taylor, Future, Malcolm Washington, Callum Turner, and Sabrina Carpenter — whose look caused quite a stir for Pharrell allegedly advising the "Please, Please, Please" singer against wearing pants because of her height. While many celebrity attendees showed how they personally interpreted the theme, there were a few popular trends seen on the carpet among some of the attendees throughout the night, and one of them was grillz. Shaboozey, Taraji P. Henson, and Alton Mason were just a few of the stars who adorned their mouths with jewels and gems. Savion Washington / Getty Images, John Shearer / WireImage Pharrell was also a part of that list, rocking a mouth full of gold, which perfectly matched the gold accents in his accessories. But according to a recent interview with Essence, wearing grillz wasn't only a style decision for Pharrell, but a medical one.

"Well, truth be told, these are my Invisaligns," Pharrell said. "I used my Invisalign trays and got them done in gold." "It's what Dandy do," he added. "But nah, these are my Invisalign, they keep my teeth straight."

While we can't go too much into the Protective Mouth Grill Method process because the patent is still pending, she did share details about why she created Ease. "I've seen so many people wear them and their teeth health just decline," Christina, who grew up in Houston around grillz her whole life, told PopSugar. "So I'd always wondered if there was a better way to go about it." "When I initially started seriously thinking about the brand, I was also going through a round of aligner treatment to straighten my teeth. This ended up being a key component for the company because I and so many other people wear retainers, so why not be able to get those decked out to make you actually want to keep them in?" "Essentially, the protective method is bonded to the inside of the grill," she says. "It doesn't hinder the aesthetic of the piece, so you can get any type of design, metal, or even stones like diamonds added to your grill — it's all up to you and your personal preference."

Next Stay Close ✕ Williams paired his gold invisalign with a classic suit with a textured blazer made of 100, 000 pearls and flared black pants. Fans loved the concept of the gold retainers, and many expressed that they would love to do the same. 'He just unlocked a new level of grill lol. This is why we dandy,' @sharon_ayi wrote. @flossyhygienist commented, 'I love us!! It's no excuse not to wear those Invisalign trays when looking fly.' While the Invisalign brand also added, 'When your smile's as intentional as your fit … gold-level confidence.' What are retainers? Retainers essentially are orthodontic devices that help your teeth to be straight. They are mostly used for people who wore braces and since teeth can shift even after wearing braces, retainers prevent that by keeping them straight. They also come in different forms, which include wires or acrylic. Celebrities who were dressed by Williams: The theme of the Met Gala 2025 was 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style', which celebrated the Black Dandyism fashion. The 51-year-old graced the red carpet with his wife, Helen Lasichanh, who was dressed by him in Louis Vuitton stockings, a black leather corset, leather blazer paired with a brown Louis Vuitton bag. Williams also dressed Doechii, Sabrina Carpenter, Lisa, Jeremy Allen White, Future, Pusha T, Henry Taylor, Callum Turner, as well Malcolm Washington.
