Met Gala 2025: Tailoring, Tributes, and New Controversies

The 2025 Met Gala, themed 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' highlighted tailored fashion and stirred debate over artistic boundaries. Diljit Dosanjh made his Met debut in a Prabal Gurung ensemble inspired by Sikh heritage, accessorized with a replica Patiala Necklace, and went viral for using ChatGPT to help with English backstage. Lisa Manobal's Louis Vuitton look sparked controversy due to faces stitched on her bodysuit, which Louis Vuitton clarified were by artist Henry Taylor, yet debate continued given Lisa's history with racial insensitivity accusations. Halle Berry, Emma Chamberlain, Sabrina Carpenter, and Bebe Rexha drew attention for their bold, dandy-inspired outfits. The gala was co-chaired by Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Pharrell Williams, emphasizing Black cultural influence in fashion. Social media discussions centered on cultural representation and the evolving standards of red carpet style.
