Anna Wintour has once again proved why she’s the queen of fashion, pulling off yet another successful Met Gala under her belt. She’s been running this high-glam event since 1995, and 2025 was no exception. This year’s edition brought serious style, star power, and cultural significance to the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The 2025 Met Gala spotlighted the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, which isn’t just about fashion—it’s about history, identity, and expression. The idea was to celebrate how clothing and style have helped shape Black identities, especially across the U.S. and Europe. Basically, it was fashion with a purpose, honoring the art of tailoring while paying tribute to Black dandyism—a movement that redefines elegance, power, and self-expression.
And let’s talk about the red—well, blue—carpet. The celebrity turnout was nothing short of A-list: Rihanna, Zendaya, Janelle Monáe, Doja Cat, Diljit Dosanjh, fashion icon Dapper Dan, and many more showed up not just looking stylish but making statements. Every outfit felt intentional, on-theme, and full of personality.
But what happens when the cameras stop rolling on the carpet? Well, the real fun begins behind the scenes. Here’s a peek at some unforgettable backstage moments that made the night even more iconic:
-
The co-chairs—Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton, and Colman Domingo—were spotted getting down to business, making sure the event ran like a well-oiled fashion machine.
-
Doja Cat and Kim Kardashian were seen chatting it up, probably swapping style secrets or gossiping about who wore what best.
-
Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega, fresh off their steamy “Taste” music video moment, were reunited and clearly ready for some juicy conversations.
-
Bridgerton heartthrob Regé-Jean Page shared a warm, brotherly hug with Doctor Who’s Ncuti Gatwa—yes, it was as wholesome as it sounds.
-
Lewis Hamilton took the spotlight with a heartfelt speech as a co-chair, showing he’s not just about racing—he’s also got a serious love for culture and fashion.
-
And of course, the power couple Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were joined by music royalty Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys, turning the museum steps into a runway of legends.
