2025 Met Gala: The Good, The Bad, The Weird

The hugely anticipated Met Monday, or the 2025 Met Gala has finally taken place, bringing on an array of fashion wins, and fails. Here is the best, the worst, and the bizarre.

The Good

There were certainly some stars who adhered to the theme perfectly while bringing in their own individuality, with some of them being new to the fashion world. Here they are:

Rihanna

Myha’la in Luar

Janelle Monáe in Thom Browne

Whoopi Goldberg in Thom Browne

Colman Domingo in Valentino and Boucheron and Omega jewels

Ayo Edebiri in Ferragamo

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz

Zendaya in Louis Vuitton

Emma Chamberlain in Courreges

André 3000 in Burberry

The Bad

With a theme like this, some misses were certainly expected, but they were disappointing all the same. Here are the stars who missed the mark:

Sydney Sweeney in Miu Miu

Kim Kardashian in Chrome Hearts

Chappell Roan in custom Paul Tazewell

Cynthia Erivo in Givenchy

Kendall Jenner in custom Torisheju

Dua Lipa in Chanel

Kylie Jenner in Ferragamo

Anne Hathaway in Carolina Herrera

The Weird

Some stuck to the theme, some completely ditched it, however, a few decided to do something completely strange altogether. Here they are:

Hailey Bieber in Saint Laurent

Joey King

Amelia Gray in custom Valentino

Although, there were several more looks at the event, many failed to make much of an impression. With many of the usual attendees absent, it made for an underwhelming year for the gala.
