The 2025 Met Gala red carpet has officially kicked off!
This year’s theme is ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,’ celebrating the rich history and cultural significance of Black dandyism and its influence on fashion.

Who was the best dressed?
We’ve listed our favourite looks from the 2025 Met Gala red carpet below.
Rihanna
Rihanna was late to the 2025 Met Gala but we forgive her for two reasons. One, she looked phenomenal. Two, she confirmed she’s pregnant with her and A$AP Rocky’s third child!
Madonna
Madonna – aka the Queen of Pop – opted for a silky, cream tux which she accessorised with mesh, polka-dot gloves, a white boutonnière and a cigar.
Lupita Nyong’o
Lupita Nyong’o looked breathtaking in this pretty pastel blue suit with matching hat and cape.
Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman really can do no wrong when it comes to a red carpet. She looked ever so elegant in this strapless, black gown as she arrived at the Met Gala.
Henry Golding
We love it when a man wears something other than a black tux to an event. Case in point: Another Simple Favour star Henry Golding’s Met Gala outfit.
Jeff Goldblum
Jeff Goldblum went for a classic tux but the Oscar nominee spiced it up by adding a fur-trim cape.
Demi Moore
Only Demi Moore could look beautiful while dressed as a men’s tie. Talk about nailing the theme!
Cynthia Erivo
The Wicked: Part 1 press tour may be over but Cynthia Erivo is still turning out magical, wonderful fashion moments. Case in point: her Met Gala look.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter looked simply ravishing in her marvellous, camp Met Gala look.
Kerry Washington
Kerry Washington looked amazing in this daring, monochromatic outfit.
Walton Goggins
White Lotus star Walton Goggins took a risk with his look but it definitely paid off!
Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway kept things simple but still looked chic in a white blouse and stripy skirt.
Zoe Saldaña
Zoe Saldaña, fresh off her Oscar win, attended the Met Gala in this striking black and white dress.
Diana Ross
Diana Ross made a serious ENTRANCE in this fabulous gown. We love the extravagant train and matching fluffy hat.

Sarah Snook
Australia’s own Sarah Snook looked exquisite, almost regal, in this red and black ensemble.
Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg honestly nailed this year’s theme. The dress fits her like a glove and is a clear but clever play on classic menswear.
Colman Domingo
Colman Domingo, co-chair of this year’s Met Gala, arrived in this dramatic, royal blue cape.
