Dua Lipa's Chanel Look For The 2025 Met Gala Is Adorned With Feathers, Crystals… And Callum Turner
Dua Lipa has delivered some memorable Met Gala moments over the years: there was the purple psychedelic dress by Atelier Versace that she wore to the 2019 Camp -themed edition; the archival Chanel haute couture gown from autumn/winter 1992, originally worn by Claudia Schiffer down the runway, which she chose to honour Karl Lagerfeld in 2023; and the boudoir-inspired Marc Jacobs number that she sported for the Sleeping Beauties theme in 2024. Dua Lipa wearing Chanel at the 2025 Met Gala. John Shearer This year, the singer turned to Chanel once again for her 2025 Met Gala look. In keeping with the 'Tailored for You' dress code, Lipa wore a custom open-back chiffon dress with a long bow at the back, a black sequin tweed jacket and an organza cape – all adorned with crystals, pearls and feathers to add to the sense of drama. In total, the complete look took 2,000 hours to make and features 45,000 embroidered elements, highlighting the remarkable level of craftsmanship on display. In keeping with this year's Met Gala theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style , Lipa and her stylist Lorenzo Posocco were inspired by dancer and civil rights activist Josephine Baker. '[She was] a woman who truly embodied the spirit of dandyism on and off-stage and whose legacy speaks to femininity, fearless expression and resistance,' Posocco tells Vogue . 'It's a black chiffon dress adorned with a fully embroidered corset, which was inspired by a photo that captivated Dua when we began our research with Vogue contributor, Eric McNeal. The tweed jacket is a nod to Josephine's play [with] masculinity and femininity. And the organza cape [is] for the performer, the drama of it all. Ultimately, we were captivated by Josephine Baker as she is one of the great Black female dandies. In so many ways, we found that the codes of Josephine were so relatable to the Chanel essence. It really was the perfect match.' Of course, Lipa's relationship with the French fashion house goes way back: the star previously revealed how she splurged on the Chanel Boy bag after she got her first pay cheque from her record label more than a decade ago in 2014. Since then, she's worn Chanel on countless occasions – including during her Radical Optimism tour, where she wore a bodysuit version of the chained dress originally seen on Christy Turlington on the maison's spring/summer 1992 catwalk (Lily-Rose Depp later went on to wear the gown at the 2019 Met Gala) – and was announced as a face of the Chanel 25 bag earlier this year. Lipa hasn't been exclusively wearing Chanel for Met Gala weekend though, with the star also photographed in US brands Willy Chavarria and Calvin Klein while in the Big Apple. Could we see her championing another New York designer for the Met Gala after-parties? Watch this space. Article originally published on Vogue US

MAX&Co. SS25 &Co.LLABORATION with LPS "FOUND FAMILY"
Lifestyle Web Release Selection By Editor_wr On Mar 23, 2025 MAX&Co. collaborates with Lorenzo Posocco, stylist and creative director of LPS – Lorenzo Posocco Studio, on a special capsule that pays homage to the spirit of chosen families. Titled 'Found Family', the collection is a love letter to families formed by choice, rather than those you were born into, where care, love, shared experiences, and, above all, a sense of belonging take centre stage. Inspired by the visual narrative of 1990s fashion editorials and intimate portraits from the era, the collection aims to recreate a sort of communal wardrobe, where elevated, versatile pieces are conceived to be worn and loved but also swapped and passed on, just like family heirlooms – though revisited through a contemporary lens. A dialogue between classic and unconventional, past and future, simplicity and complexity: this juxtaposition of contrasts, of unexpected pairings that make sense, reflects the ethos of 'found families' and is the leitmotif of the collection. Drawing influences from the clean lines of 90s minimalism, an era and aesthetic that heavily influenced and shaped Lorenzo's work throughout his career, simplified and high-quality designs become future classics that transcend seasons and occasions, with several pieces offering gender-inclusive and multi-generational appeal. Discreet details and hidden functionality, such as multiple concealed zipped pockets, reinforce the mood for a minimal appearance with intricate execution. Drawstring cuffs and elasticated waists allow adjustability, while styles that can be worn in multiple ways and ultralightweight fabrics offer perfect travel-friendly, packable options. Key items range from sportif pencil skirts, boxy shirts and stripped-back cagoules to smart-casual semi-tailored pinafore minidresses, straight-leg trousers and short playsuits. Silk peplum skirts, broderie anglaise matching sets and jersey slip dresses in metallic finishes, create additional texture and excitement. Premium butter-soft leather is used for car coats and boxy jackets while accessories and footwear include nylon belt bags, minimalist mules and lace-up shoes, leather shoppers with metal top handles and sleek sunglasses. Colour is kept classic and timeless, with grey, black, white and sky blue anchoring the palette, lifted by golden yellow, pastel lilac and scarlet red. The collection includes certified materials such as organic cotton and recycled taffeta. Reinforcing the idea of keepsakes, all items come in matching drawstring dust bags crafted from leftover fabrics. The campaign, shot by American photographer Michael Bailey-Gates, follows the same 1990s sensibility at the core of the collection – recontextualised within a more inclusive, contemporary and unconventional setting.
