The Met Gala 2025 brought a fresh take on fashion with a theme that focused less on vintage and more on modern interpretations of style. While last year’s theme honored delicate pieces of fashion history, this year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired a new wave of creativity on the red carpet.
One standout look from the event was Zendaya’s red sequined column dress by Patrick Kelly, paired with a feathered bolero. This ensemble paid homage to the Costume Institute’s theme and embodied the “Tailored for You” dress code. Jeremy Pope and Paloma Elsesser also made a statement with their Maison Margiela fall 1997 bodices, featuring the words “semi-couture” and a mannequin-inspired design.
Stylist Law Roach curated multiple vintage looks for Tyla throughout Met Gala weekend, including a brocade and lace minidress from Roberto Cavalli’s fall 2004 collection and a silver croc-print suit from the designer’s spring summer 2011 collection. For the after-parties, Tyla dazzled in a feathered minidress by Bob Mackie, perfect for dancing the night away.
The Met Gala 2025 showcased a mix of archival and contemporary fashion, proving that style knows no bounds. From classic silhouettes to bold statement pieces, the red carpet was a runway of creativity and individuality. Check out the best vintage looks from the event below.
