8 details you might have missed from the 2025 Met Gala red carpet
Venus Williams looked glamorous in green, and her earrings subtly paid tribute to her career as an athlete. Williams looked cool and comfortable in her green Lacoste ensemble. It included a collared shirt, a pleated miniskirt, and an oversize coat with thick beading across its lapels and sleeves. So, you might have missed her small diamond earrings, which were shaped like tennis balls. Diana Ross wore an old Hollywood gown that paid tribute to her family members. Her custom white gown from Eleven Sixteen featured a massive 18-foot train that covered the Metropolitan Museum steps. It was glamorous, theatrical, and quietly meaningful. On the red carpet, she described it to Vogue as "a forever family" gown. "It has the names of all my children and my eight grandchildren," she said. "Everybody's name is embroidered." Colman Domingo's cape wasn't just regal. It was inspired by iconic figures of the past. Speaking with GQ while getting ready for the Met Gala, Domingo said he always imagined himself wearing blue at the 2025 event. Then Monica L. Miller, who helped curate this year's Costume Institute exhibit, told the actor that one of the first dandies was a freed slave who dreamed of dancing in "blue superfine wool." "I literally almost stumbled," Domingo told the publication. "I said, 'He named a color? That's the color I want to wear!'" He worked with Valentino to create his ensemble, which included a royal-blue cape with a bedazzled chest piece. André Leon Talley inspired its draping, while its sparkling details represented the jewelry and architecture of the Moors and other North African people. Teyana Taylor's dramatic jacket had song lyrics pressed into its velvet. The statement piece of her custom Marc Jacobs ensemble was a thick red coat with sharp shoulder pads, pleated draping, and rose embellishments. Less flashy were its nods to her song "Rose in Harlem." The phrases "Harlem rose" and "rose out of the concrete" were stamped into velvet pieces that flowed on each side of the jacket. Priyanka Chopra Jonas made jewelry history. Chopra Jonas is a Bvlgari ambassador, so she had the privilege of unveiling a new piece — a diamond necklace with a massive emerald charm — from the jewelry brand at the 2025 Met Gala. In doing so, she also made history as the first to wear this rare gem, which weighs 241.06 carats and is the largest faceted stone ever set by Bvlgari. Maluma wore a green watch that was equally flashy and expensive. Maluma sported an emerald-encrusted watch called the Emerald Billionaire III to complement his blue and green suit from Willy Chavarria. The timepiece's design was eye-catching, and it was also highly valuable. Jacob & Co., the brand behind the accessory, said it retails for $5 million. Kerry Washington's ensemble was more daring than you might have realized. Not only was her custom Simkhai skirt see-through, revealing her undergarments, but its blazer top was also backless. The cream-colored piece had a circle cutout that was only visible when she turned around. It was also enhanced with a diamond necklace that draped down her back. Zendaya and Anna Sawai wore white outfits that were extremely similar. Zendaya hit the red carpet first in a white ensemble from Louis Vuitton. It was tailored perfectly, from its blazer to its bell-bottom pants, and accessorized just as well with a tie and hat. So, it was a little surprising to see Anna Sawai show up later in a nearly identical outfit. The main difference was that the Japanese actor's suit was more cream-colored and tailored with a looser fit.

Generate Key Takeaways The Met Gala is known for uniting stars for a night of theatrical fashion, and the 2025 event was no exception. This year's theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' celebrated the legacy and influence of Black fashion, and specifically Black dandyism, a cultural movement where Black people used sharp fashion to reclaim power and dignity through stylish expression. With the given theme 'Tailored for You,' celebrities arrived at the Met Gala in looks that not only tipped a hat to this era of Black style, but also honored the craftsmanship of custom fashion. And some stars? They simply did it better than others — or, rather, the designers and stylists behind their look did. From floor-sweeping and sequined gowns to surprising bodysuits, pantsuits and just plain suits, here are the stars who made the Met Gala this year. Teyana Taylor Teyana Taylor.

Teyana Taylor Says Her 2025 Met Look is 'Taylor-ed To You'
Tonight, Teyana Taylor's 2018 song 'Rose in Harlem' is taking on new meaning at the 2025 Met Gala, themed 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' 'I'm already not a big dress girl,' she tells Vogue, adding that she prefers a tailored look no matter the event: 'I'm in suits even without it being a suit theme.' No wonder Taylor feels wholly at home with the 2025 dress code, Tailored for You. For the big night, Taylor tapped two-time Oscar winner and costume designer Ruth E. Carter to design her historically-based outfit. The result is a burgundy zoot suit-inspired outfit with Easter eggs that any fashion buff or historian will delight over. There are feathers, lace, and many crystals, all combining into one look. On the edge of her cape, embroidered in tonal string, is the singer's 'Rose in Harlem.' 'As we embarked on our journey in this country, we were stripped of everything,' Carter reflects. 'A lot of times the only thing you had was to show it on your body.' It's both a pun and a story that the singer has been waiting to tell. 'When the Met is Teyana Taylor-ed to you,' Taylor shares with a smile. 'It's the moment we were waiting on.'
