The 2025 Met Gala, held at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, once again delivered a spectacle of avant-garde fashion, artistic vision, and unapologetic glamour.

Zendaya Dominates in Dual-Look Drama
Zendaya stole the spotlight with not one, but two breathtaking ensembles. Styled by Law Roach, her first look channeled a goddess of the storm—complete with a sculptural silver corset, flowing cloud-like train, and thunderbolt embellishments. Later in the evening, she reappeared in an entirely different gown: a deep crimson velvet piece with gold vine accents, reminiscent of Persephone ascending from the underworld.
Doja Cat Mesmerizes as a Living Mural
Doja Cat pushed the boundaries of wearable art with a fully hand-painted bodysuit that replicated Renaissance frescoes in motion. Paired with a cascading mesh cape that glimmered like stained glass, her look was equal parts sacred and rebellious. Every movement turned her into a kinetic painting, earning her one of the night's most talked-about appearances.
Timothée Chalamet’s Gender-Fluid Armor
Timothée Chalamet blended myth and masculinity with a futuristic twist on classical armor. Designed by Rick Owens, his ensemble featured a silver chestplate etched with constellations, layered over a soft silk tunic and pleated skirt. The look was crowned by a laurel-style headpiece, merging ancient motifs with modern gender expression.
Anya Taylor-Joy Stuns as a Modern Athena

The gown shimmered in shades of platinum and midnight blue, engineered with kinetic wings that subtly moved as she walked. Her crown-like headpiece of quartz and silver feathers solidified her goddess status.
Lil Nas X’s Chrome Minotaur Fantasy
Lil Nas X turned heads in a daring look inspired by the myth of the Minotaur. His sculpted chrome bodysuit fused armor and abstract anatomy, paired with a geometric mask and towering hooves. Created by a collaboration between Mugler and futuristic artist Refik Anadol, the look fused myth, performance, and technology.
Gigi Hadid Reimagines Aphrodite in Couture Lace
Gigi Hadid radiated timeless beauty as a modern Aphrodite in a translucent lace corset gown from Maison Margiela Artisanal. The seafoam-colored fabric evoked ocean waves, adorned with pearls and mother-of-pearl sequins. Her wet-look hairstyle and subtle rose-hued makeup completed the oceanic fantasy.
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna’s Royal Entrance
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky once again commanded attention as fashion royalty. Rihanna’s regal cape, resembling phoenix feathers in molten gold and ruby red, wrapped around a structured flame-colored bodice.
