MET GALA 2025: WAS IT REALLY GOOD?

What is the Met Gala?

The Met Gala, which takes place every year on the first Monday of May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, was initially born as a fundraiser for the Costume Institute. However, over time, the event took on more of a party atmosphere rather than a classic charity event with the determination of gala themes. The participants of the Met Gala are not announced until the day before the event, and the approximately 400 people who will come are decided by Anna Wintour, who is in charge of the Met Gala. Entrance to this gala starts at $75,000. What is worn at this gala sets the course for the trends of the following year. Another interesting aspect of this gala is that no one knows what is going on inside because phones are not allowed, but in 2017 Kylie Jenner violated this ban with a mirror selfie she took in the bathroom with many attendees. The theme of this year's event, which took place on May 5, 2025, is "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style", while the dress code of the event is a more personal concept with "Tailored For You".

Now let's take a look at some designs from this year:

(These are my personal opinions)

Sabrina Carpenter

She participated in a Louis Vuitton designer bodysuit with ground skimming tails. I think it's a very stylish design for Sabrina, but I didn't find it very interesting because it's a model Sabrina prefers to wear to concerts. Since Louis Vuitton sends almost all of its ambassadors "bottomless", this outfit is almost nothing special. Moreover, the socks that they add to their other designs are not even present in this design.

Lewis Hamilton:

Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari driver in F1) attended the Met Gala wearing a white suit and black shoes by Wales Bonner. The design and the jewellery used were very stylish and matched each other very well. He also stands out with his suit being all white and his hat.

Doechii:

Doechii attended the Met Gala this year with the Louis Vuitton brand. The work done to keep the design secret before coming to the Met Gala made many people curious about this design. It was a different and more stylish design than the one Louis Vuitton gave to its other representatives and it suits Doechii very well, but I don't think it fits the theme that much.

Scoups:

Seventeen's leader Scoups attended the Met Gala for the first time this year with the BOSS brand. I think it was a design that was appropriate for the theme, different from other designs, and suited him. The design made people there curious about who he was.

After seeing all these designs it makes us curious: What will Met Gala 2026 be like? We will find out next year!
