When Zendaya walks in, the red carpet stops — and this year’s Met Gala was no exception.
The Euphoria star brought high summer elegance to the blue carpet in a custom all-white power suit that was equal parts crisp, cool, and couture. Featuring a cinched-waist blazer, dramatically flared trousers, and a wide-brim floppy hat, Zendaya’s ensemble effortlessly balanced masculinity and softness — a flawless interpretation of this year’s theme:
Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.
Styled (presumably) by her trusted collaborator Law Roach, Zendaya added vintage flair with a chic snake brooch, gold studs, and her long brunette hair tucked into a polished bun beneath the hat. But the pièce de résistance? A sparkling engagement ring that practically winked at the cameras — a subtle nod to fiancé Tom Holland, who was notably absent from the evening.
Despite Holland’s absence, Zendaya radiated timeless glamour and poise, becoming a standout figure on a carpet full of maximalist moments. Her choice to keep the palette minimal allowed the tailoring, silhouette, and statement accessories to shine.
The 2025 Met Gala’s theme honors Black menswear and its cultural impact, exploring, in the MET’s own words, “the importance of style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora, particularly in the United States and Europe.” Zendaya’s interpretation hit all the right notes — fashion-forward, historically grounded, and powerfully feminine.
Getty Images captured her breathtaking arrival, while fans around the world tuned in live on Vogue’s YouTube channel, where global stars from Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney to Shah Rukh Khan and Jennie Kim delivered unforgettable style.
Under the continued leadership of Anna Wintour, and with this year’s co-chairs including Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and LeBron James, the 2025 Met Gala proved once again why it remains fashion’s most-watched night — and Zendaya remains its most beloved muse.
