Charli XCX Debuts Ann Demeulemeester at Met Gala

Charli XCX made a dramatic entrance at the 2025 Met Gala, wearing a custom Ann Demeulemeester ensemble featuring a black blazer, sheer feather-trimmed skirt, and over-the-knee boots, all adorned with sculptural black feathers evoking a raven or 'Black Swan' motif. This marked the first time Ann Demeulemeester was featured at the Met Gala. Her look, complemented by a messy updo with spiky feathers and bronzed, grunge-inspired makeup, embodied her signature 'brat' energy and gothic-punk influences. The event's theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' highlighted Black dandyism and tailored fashion, aligning with Charli's rebellious and individualistic style. Her appearance was widely regarded as a standout interpretation of the dress code and a sign of another anticipated 'brat summer.' Charli's continued daring fashion choices reinforce her reputation for blending elegance with subversive style.
