On the first Monday of May, the Met Gala 2025 dazzled once again, as fashion's elite gathered at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art to showcase their interpretations of this year's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," with the dress code "Tailored for You." Among the stars, the Kardashian-Jenner clan turned heads with their striking and coordinated looks, highlighting their status as fashion icons.
Kim Kardashian, 44, made a bold statement in a skintight, black leather dress by Chrome Hearts, complemented by a matching fedora. The outfit featured a bustier-style top and a floor-length skirt with a short train, perfectly fitting the evening's theme. She adorned her look with an array of Moussaieff diamond necklaces that cascaded down her chest, adding a touch of glamour to her already stunning ensemble. As a veteran of the Met Gala, having attended 11 times, Kardashian expressed her excitement for the event, stating, "I really just look forward to seeing friends. I look forward to seeing my sisters. We’re on a group chat before we get here and it’s like we all get nervous before we get here. We all get nervous no matter how many times we’ve been.”
Kylie Jenner, 27, also made a splash with her figure-hugging black and gray halter dress from Ferragamo. The gown featured a sheer bodice and a long tweed skirt with a thigh-high slit, embodying the menswear-inspired theme of the evening. To enhance her look, Kylie wore sheer black gloves and styled her hair in a sophisticated bun. This year was particularly emotional for Jenner, as she paid tribute to her late hairstylist and friend, Jesus Guerrero, who passed away earlier in February 2025. On the morning of the gala, she shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, honoring Guerrero's impact on her life.
Kendall Jenner, 29, opted for a more conservative yet striking look in a dark, long-sleeved menswear-inspired outfit designed by Torishéju Dumi. The structured blazer featured a peplum flare-out and a plunging neckline, accented with a silver statement necklace. Inspired by Harlem Renaissance musician Gladys Bentley, Kendall’s attire showcased the designer's commitment to using deadstock fabric, amounting to 100 feet and taking 242 hours to create. "I had a vision of being very minimal and tailored for this Met, and I went on the hunt to find something interesting and fresh and super exciting to me," Kendall explained.
Despite the glamour surrounding the event, there was a notable absence. Timothée Chalamet, Kylie's boyfriend, was not present on the red carpet. Instead, he was seen enjoying the NBA playoffs, posting a video on Instagram as the New York Knicks faced off against the Boston Celtics. This absence left fans wondering if the couple would ever share the spotlight at such a high-profile event.
The Kardashian-Jenner family has a long history with the Met Gala, with Kim making her debut in 2013 while pregnant with her daughter North West. Each year, they bring their unique flair to the event, often causing a stir with their fashion choices. In 2024, for example, Kim paid homage to the "Garden of Time" theme with a stunning silver Maison Margiela Couture dress, while Kendall wore a sleek Givenchy gown that sparked conversations about its historical significance.
This year's gala was no different, as the sisters arrived on the blue carpet in shades of black and gray, perfectly embodying the evening's theme. Their coordinated looks not only showcased their individual styles but also highlighted their bond as sisters in the fashion world.
As the night unfolded, the Kardashian-Jenner clan continued to dominate the conversation surrounding the Met Gala. With their daring choices and undeniable presence, they proved once again why they are considered some of the most influential figures in contemporary fashion. Whether it was Kim's leather ensemble, Kylie's dramatic gown, or Kendall's tailored blazer, each look told a story, contributing to the rich tapestry of fashion history celebrated at the Met Gala.
In the end, the Met Gala 2025 was not just a showcase of extravagant outfits but a testament to the power of fashion to express individuality and honor those who have impacted our lives. As Kylie reflected on her late friend and the memories they shared, it became clear that the Met Gala is as much about personal stories as it is about the clothes we wear.
With the evening coming to a close, fans and fashion enthusiasts alike eagerly await what the Kardashian-Jenner sisters will bring to next year's event. Will they continue to push boundaries and redefine fashion norms? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain: they will always keep us guessing and watching.
