Like a True Dandy, A$AP Rocky Wore His Own Design to the 2025 Met Gala
As an official co-chair of the 2025 Met Gala, A$AP Rocky was of course expected arrive in a memorable look. And like a true modern-day dandy (or 'Fashion Killa,' rather) the Vogue May cover star did not disappoint. The star chose to wear a custom design from his own creative agency, AWGE. (Talk about the ultimate style flex: 'Oh this? It was custom made for me, by me.') Doing a contemporary spin on tailoring, Rocky took a cool, sportswear-minded route that reflected his impeccable personal style: He wore a double-breasted AWGE parka in technical wool, complete with coated snaps and velcro detailing on the sleeves. The jacket was inspired by the Marmot outerwear Rocky saw being worn in his native Harlem growing up. To him, the jackets represented modern-day dandyism, and he wanted to pay homage to that. 'Marmots are a Harlem tradition; in the winter, everyone has a Marmot on,' Rocky told Vogue during his final fitting in New York. 'That was our teenage jacket.' Rocky's longtime stylist Matthew Henson, who played a pivotal role in bringing the design to life, adds, 'Rocky wanted to do something new and original. He wanted to pay homage to New York, and one of the biggest and most well-known jackets [in this city] is a Marmot jacket. It's a really crazy outdoor technical jacket, but it has a really beautiful shape.' The duo reinterpreted the piece with a double-breasted closure, giving it a surprisingly formal feel. 'It closes the same way that a tuxedo would,' says Rocky. The 2025 Met Gala co-chair paired the jacket with dressier pieces including a white cotton poplin shirt, a black wool trousers and a vest, exposed satin boxers, and a black wool necktie for a more traditional finish. Accessorising the look, meanwhile, were a pair of dressy oxfords that AWGE made in collaboration with Christian Louboutin, as well as jewelry pieces by Bulgari. Rocky launched AWGE in 2014, and showed the design agency's first full runway collection during Paris Fashion Week in June 2024. (In his May Vogue cover story, the rapper wears a sleek gray AWGE suit in a photo taken alongside his grandmother, Cathy.) Rocky says that helming his own brand has allowed him to experiment with his sense of style—though that is well-formed by now. 'This is my favorite style era of mine,' Rocky says of his dapper wardrobe today. 'Being a dad has definitely influenced my style today.' This year marks Rocky's fifth time attending the annual Met Gala. The rapper first attended the back in 2014, for the Charles James-themed exhibition. In more recent years, the star has attended alongside his partner Rihanna—and the duo has shut down every red carpet they've graced. As for how the power couple will celebrate this evening? Rocky has epic plans in mind—and he has the slick look to go with it. 'I plan on having a hell of a night, and enjoying myself,' he says. Article originally published on Vogue US

The best dressed stars from the 2025 Met Gala
The 2025 Met Gala has officially come to a close. While tonight's star-studded red carpet in New York City brought forward countless major fashion moments, a select few attendees stood out from the stylish pack. The best dressed stars of the night paid close attention to this year's theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' as well as the dress code, Tailored for You. Unsurprisingly, all of the 2025 co-chairs made the cut: A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, as well as honorary co-chair LeBron James. Each of the co-chairs interpreted tailoring in their own original ways, offering a fresh and contemporary approach to suiting. Rocky, for one, wore his own AWGE design that featured a slick double-breasted technical wool jacket; It was inspired by the outdoorsy Marmot jackets that he would see around Harlem growing up. 'Marmots are a Harlem tradition,' Rocky told Vogue during his final fitting. 'That was our teenage jacket.' A slick array of blazers, slacks, and ties abounded. Whether shorts suits (Doechii in Louis Vuitton!), formal tailcoats or vests worn without jackets—suiting dominated the night in all different forms and iterations. A few gowns and skirt looks were also worthy of a best-dressed nod—like Anne Hathaway's Carolina Herrera shirt and ball gown, an homage to the great André Leon Talley. Cynthia Erivo dazzled in a shimmering jacket and ball skirt by Givenchy. In a custom Ugo Mozie design, Diana Ross also floated up the Met steps in a cascading gown that featured an 18-foot train—embroidered with the names of her own children and grandchildren, for a personal touch. Overall, it proved to be one of the most stylish, memorable Met Gala carpets in history. Below, explore the best dressed stars at the 2025 Met Gala.
