With only a few days left for fashion’s biggest extravaganza, the Met Gala 2025, excitement is building as fans eagerly anticipate the stunning ensembles their favorite stars will showcase on the red carpet. This year’s theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," invites attendees to explore the rich history and artistry of Black fashion, while the dress code is set as "Tailored for You." Scheduled for May 5, 2025, the first Monday of May, the event promises to be a star-studded affair.
According to reports from Page Six, iconic figures such as Madonna, Stevie Wonder, and Diana Ross are confirmed to attend, alongside a roster of other celebrities. Lauryn Hill has also been invited by co-chair Pharrell Williams, adding to the anticipation surrounding the event. The Met Gala is known for bringing together a diverse mix of artists, athletes, and entertainers, and this year is no exception.
Among the anticipated attendees are musicians Lorde, Bebe Rexha, and Shaboozey, who will add to the musical flair of the evening. Hollywood stars Angela Bassett and Demi Moore are also set to grace the red carpet, enhancing the glamour of the event. Broadway stars Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren, who are currently collaborating on the production of "The Last Five Years," will attend together, showcasing the intersection of theater and fashion.
Comedians Chris Rock and Jimmy Fallon are expected to make appearances, along with actors Sarah Snook and Adam Scott, both known for their impressive performances in recent television hits. Additionally, Walton Goggins, currently in a feud with his co-star Aimee Lou Wood from "The White Lotus," will join the festivities, adding a hint of drama to the night.
As always, the Met Gala will benefit the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year, co-chairs Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Pharrell Williams will lead the event, with NBA superstar LeBron James serving as the honorary chair. The collaborative effort behind the event reflects a commitment to celebrating Black culture and style.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Met Gala is the fashion itself. Priyanka Chopra, a veteran of the event, is confirmed to attend wearing a custom Balmain couture look paired with Bvlgari jewelry, marking her fifth appearance at the Gala. Chopra first attended in 2017 after receiving her invitation in 2016. Her previous ensembles have consistently landed her on best-dressed lists, and fans are eager to see how she will interpret this year’s theme.
Zendaya, another fan favorite, is also confirmed to attend, although details about her outfit remain under wraps. Her stylist has confirmed her presence, and given her history of show-stopping looks, expectations are high. Last year, she made headlines by showcasing two unique outfits as co-chair, further solidifying her status as a fashion icon.
The concept of "dandy" style, which emphasizes impeccable grooming and self-expression, will be a focal point of the evening, as attendees are encouraged to demonstrate their personal aesthetics through their outfits. Madonna, who has a long history with the Met Gala, is expected to make a striking return after a seven-year hiatus. She first attended the Gala in 1997, wearing a blue floral gown by Gianni Versace, and has since made a name for herself as a daring fashionista.
In her past appearances, Madonna has consistently pushed the boundaries of fashion. For the 2009 theme "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion," she wore a teal leather and lace ensemble by Louis Vuitton, complete with a matching bunny-eared headpiece. In 2011, she paid homage to designer Alexander McQueen in a stunning blue silk gown featuring silver sequin star embroidery, and in 2013, she embraced the punk theme with a bold Givenchy look that combined various punk elements.
Madonna's 2015 appearance featured a graffiti-inspired Moschino outfit that paid tribute to her late friend Keith Haring, while her 2016 look was a daring black lace gown inspired by kinesiology tape. In 2017, she sported a camouflage Moschino gown, and her most controversial look came in 2018 when she donned a black Jean Paul Gaultier gown adorned with a cross-adorned crown.
This year, as she prepares to grace the red carpet once again, fans are eager to see how she will interpret the "Superfine" theme. With her history of making bold statements, one can expect nothing less than a show-stopping look.
While many stars are confirmed to attend, some notable absences have been announced. Blake Lively will not be attending as she focuses on promoting her projects amid ongoing legal challenges, and Gisele Bündchen, who recently welcomed a new child, will also miss the event. Despite these absences, the lineup of attendees promises an unforgettable night filled with fashion, music, and celebration of Black culture.
As the countdown to the Met Gala continues, fans and fashion enthusiasts alike are left wondering what iconic moments will unfold on the red carpet. With a theme that celebrates the artistry of Black fashion and a star-studded guest list, the 2025 Met Gala is poised to be a night to remember.
