Tracee Ellis Ross brought some color to the 2025 Met Gala, donning a statement-making Marc Jacobs outfit. The all-satin outfit—featuring puffy baby pink pants, a magenta bow belt, a ruched white blouse, and a maroon suit jacket, paired with an oversized fedora—was called a "risk" by fans online. Did it pay off? The internet seems to be divided with mixed opinions pouring in. "This is so cute omg!!!!" one fan noted, as others said the look was "not it." "She understood the assignment," someone else chimed in, as another suggested that only Tracee could pull off something this eccentric, stating, "Only Tracee can do this and look this good!" "You know she loves a good pant," another declared.

The Ross family made sure to turn heads at the red carpet, as Tracee's mother, musical icon Diana Ross, made her grand return to the Met Gala in over 20 years with a larger-than-life dress that stopped everyone in their tracks. The 81-year-old diva commanded the room when she arrived in a crystal-embellished gown with a feather boa shawl-turned-train that dramatically trailed behind her, covering roughly seven carpeted steps. Not only did she design the dress herself, but the cape featured the embroidered names of all her children and grandchildren.
Helmed by Vogue’s Anna Wintour and benefiting the NYC museum’s Costume Institute, this year’s theme was titled “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” The 2025 Met Gala turned into a family affair for Tracee Ellis Ross, Diana Ross, and Evan Ross on Monday night in New York City. The trio attended the high-profile event ahead of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring exhibition. For the occasion, each Ross family member styled a look that spoke to their individual approach to fashion and catered to the theme in a unique way.
Tracee Ellis Ross opted for a custom look courtesy of Marc Jacobs. The Emmy-nominated actress’ suited attire played with proportions, featuring billowing soft pink trousers with a fuchsia bow at the waist and a bordeaux jacket juxtaposed by a white ruffled blouse. The “Black Mirror” actress‘ look coordinated with her hat, as well.
As for her mother’s look, Diana Ross brought the drama to the 2025 Met Gala — her first appearance at the event since 2003. She attended the gala alongside her son, Evan Ross. The “I’m Coming Out” singer’s look featured a large feathery hat in white, which coordinated with her allover crystal embellished gown. The centerpiece of Ross’ look, however, was her dramatic shawl with long cuffs of plumage to accentuate her look. At 18 feet, the train was embroidered with all of the names of her children and her grandchildren.
Posing alongside his mother, Evan Ross styled a contemporary and edgy suited look. Evan Ross wore a black jacket with sharp shoulders and shimmering elements lining the fabric. He paired the look with high-waisted trousers and wore a distressed cream silk top with a plunging neckline, showcasing his green and silver statement necklace.
