May 5, 2025, was the first Monday of the month, and it marked the iconic Met Gala moment as the fashion event took place last night. Many stars appeared across the globe and walked the blue carpet, making it one of the most unforgettable fashionable nights in history. This year, the Met theme was ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ based on Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
This is the first time the fashion exhibition has focused on menswear, and the stars, including Diana Ross, Rihanna, Priyanka Chopra, and Zendaya, put their best fashion foot forward and created a buzz with their looks. This year’s event was hosted by Pharrell Williams and Lewis Hamilton. As we sat through the whole fashion mega event, these celebs truly stole the spotlight with their looks. Scroll ahead.
Best-Dressed celebs:
Rihanna
The queen of the Met Gala, Rihanna, once again stole the limelight as she wore a Marc Jacobs tailored outfit. While flaunting her baby bump for third pregnancy, she was seen in a grey corseted top with a cropped blazer, a buttoned-down stripped skirt with a gorgeous slit. RiRi completed the look with a red and white polka dot necktie, a pocket square, diamond brooches, two-toned heels, and ruby buttons from Manish Malhotra Jewelry. However, the show stealer was her big hat.

PeeCee walked the steps at the Met Gala with her hubby Nick Jonas and proved why she is a fashion icon. She looked stunning in a white and black polka dot couture custom-made by Balmain. The sharply cinched waist, the power shoulders, the plunging neckline of the shirt, the slit in the skirt – everything made it look gorgeous. The outfit features the cut of men’s tailcoats and military uniforms, a classic example of dandy fashion. Priyanka Chopra completed the look with Bvlgari’s Magnus Emerald Necklace, featuring a 241.06-carat faceted emerald stone. She paired the look with high heels, subtle makeup, and a huge hat.

After 2003, Diana Ross attended this year’s Met event and took the spotlight with her outfit.

Worst-Dressed celebs:
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter wore a burgundy Louis Vuitton bodysuit with a cropped blazer that featured a long train and no pants. Well, she could have done better than this. We have been seeing her in bodysuits for a long time now because of her tours. It was a no-brainer outfit.

Cynthia Erivo
We had high expectations from Cynthia Erivo, but she came wearing a Givenchy ensemble with a loud bodice embellished with embellishments and a long train that matched her leather boots and nails. It really felt off-theme, whereas she is known for putting her fashion self forward in such themed events.

Uh, what was she wearing? Kim Kardashian is really losing her touch in fashion. She came wearing custom Chrome Hearts Official couture, which featured a leather-ish corset well-fitted top, and a long skirt with a fishtail finish. She completed the look with a layered diamond neckpiece and a black hat.

Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner wore a very basic grey shirt and skirt look by Torisheju. Even though the outfit was inspired by the glamour of Black women in the 1920s, it still didn’t create an impact. However, her diamond necklace was definitely an eye-catcher.

Shah Rukh Khan
It was Shah Rukh Khan’s debut at the Met Gala. We were all expecting something extraordinary, but he went with his comfort fashion and wore a black suit along with a stack of neckpieces and rings by Sabyasachi Mukherjee. However, his face card always works, so he looked hot nevertheless.

Kiara Advani
The pregger Kiara Advani also made her debut at the Met Gala, and she was wearing Gaurav Gupta couture. Though her tribute was well balanced and also had a little baby detailing on her outfit, the breastplate on the black dress looked quite tacky. It could have been made in a different way. But nonetheless, her pregnancy glow and the cute baby bump were everything we were looking for.
