Our Live Reactions to the 2025 Met Gala Red Carpet Looks: From the Most Extravagant to the Most On-Theme

The Met Gala is here, which is basically every fashion editor's super bowl. To say we are excited for the evening would be an understatement. We basically prepare all year for this.
We've been particularly ready for the red carpet all morning too, after getting a first look at the Costume Institute's exhibit, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.'

At The Met Museum preview, co-chair Colman Domingo spoke and shared a quote from the American playwright and director George C. Wolfe. "It is a statement on the influence and impact of Black culture and individuals on fashion and style," Domingo said. "The quote is often used to highlight the creative and innovative spirit of black people in shaping trends and fashion. Here it is. George C. Wolfe said, 'God created Black people and Black people created style.'"
The framework for the exhibit was inspired by Monica Miller's 2009 book, 'Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.' The menswear focus of the exhibit inspired the cooresponding dress code for tonight, which is "Tailored For You."
We are anticipating plenty of suits, an incredible Rihanna moment (A$AP Rocky is also a co-chair), and something spectacularly fabulous from Colman Domingo, of course. Let the fun begin!
