Jenna Ortega to Demi Moore: Top weird looks at Met Gala 2025 that had netizens confused
Jenna Ortega to Demi Moore: Top weird looks at Met Gala 2025 that had netizens confused Hollywood celebs took the Met Gala by storm with some jaw-dropping looks, while others were 'different' in the chic factor. ...read more 1 / 10 View Photos in a new improved layout Every year, the crème de la crème of the celebrity world attends the Met Gala. Each year, there's a particular theme that somewhat determines what they wear to the gala. The 2025 Met Gala's theme was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, celebrating Black dandyism on the red carpet. The style mostly includes sharp tailoring, patterns, a monochromatic palette, statement accessories, and cultural references. Let's take a look at which A-listers turned heads this year with their 'weird outfits' and who all completely missed the assignment.(Evan Agostini/Invision/AP) 2 / 10 View Photos in a new improved layout Grammy-winning rapper and musician André 3000 redefined accessories and took them to a whole new level by wearing a literal piano to the gala. Dressed in a custom Burberry look by designer Daniel Lee, his accessories, a piano and a black garbage bag, drew raised eyebrows. (Getty Images via AFP) 3 / 10 View Photos in a new improved layout Shakira's outfit may not have appeared weird at first glance, but it certainly stood out for missing the theme altogether. The pink bubblegum gown, designed by Nepalese-American designer Prabal Gurung, did not align with the Superfine: Tailoring Black Style theme, neither in its bold, high-saturated colour choice nor in terms of tailoring and structure. Ironically, the ruched cape looked unironed, making it feel even more out of sync when the theme focused on precision and structure.(Getty Images via AFP) 4 / 10 View Photos in a new improved layout Jenna Ortega pulled a Wednesday-like dramatic, unanticipated move by wearing a dress made entirely out of rulers, giving new meaning to the idea of precision that exists in the theme. The dress was created by Balmain's Olivier Rousteing. In a room full of blazer dresses and suits, a ruler dress certainly made its mark (in a good, weird way.) (Getty Images via AFP) 5 / 10 View Photos in a new improved layout BLACKPINK's Lalisa wore a structured, blazer-inspired lace bodysuit. At first glance, it may have looked like a regular chic outfit, but it definitely demanded a second (or even third) look. Netizens discovered faces printed on her underwear, leaving many scratching their heads. One X user, examined the silhouette of the face, even speculated that it might be Rosa Parks.(AFP) 6 / 10 View Photos in a new improved layout Model Amelia Gray took inspiration from Superman for her Met Gala outfit. While the look certainly ticked the boxes of the theme with its quintessential Harlem vibe, durag and head covering, the lace underwear atop the beige layer would certainly turn heads.)(REUTERS) 7 / 10 View Photos in a new improved layout Sabrina Carpenter's Louis Vuitton bodysuit had a flirty twist as she opted to go pants-free. However, this was more of a designer-driven choice, as she revealed in an interview with a Met Gala host that her short height was behind the no-pants look. But it can be labelled weird because despite the office siren energy, it looks incomplete. It's reminiscent of Zoom and Gmeet calls from the pandemic era.(Getty Images via AFP) 8 / 10 View Photos in a new improved layout Substance actor Demi Moore took the literal path as she dressed up as a necktie for the Met Gala.(Getty Images via AFP) 9 / 10 View Photos in a new improved layout Anne Hathaway tucked in a shirt in a striped sequin skirt, very underwhelming for Met Gala standards.
