From Rihanna to Pamela Anderson, we round up the most stylish stars who dared to make a statement at this year's red carpet.&nbsp;

The 2025 Met Gala, themed &ldquo;Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,&rdquo; celebrated the enduring legacy of Black dandyism &mdash; where fashion becomes both art and assertion. Inspired by Monica L. Miller&rsquo;s Slaves to Fashion, the exhibition spotlighted how Black communities have historically used tailored style to express identity, resistance, and cultural pride.
Despite the rain, the red carpet shimmered with standout looks. Here we round up the most stunning outfits from the ladies who dared to make a statement.&nbsp;

Zendaya stunned in a custom white three-piece Louis Vuitton suit by Pharrell Williams, inspired by Bianca Jagger's 1971 wedding look. The ensemble included bell-bottom trousers, a tailored blazer, a matching vest, Bvlgari jewelry, and a wide-brimmed hat, embodying 1970s glamour.

Now officially the face of Chanel, JENNIE looked chic and sophisticated in a glamorous black off-shoulder suit with a voluminous train. The outfit was accented with the House's signature pearls, a Camellia flower, and a two-tone boater hat.

Sydney Sweeney paid homage to Kim Novak in a sparkling black Miu Miu gown reminiscent of a dress from the 1967 film "The Legend of Lylah Clare." The gown featured a plunging neckline and a floor-length silhouette, reflecting classic Hollywood glamour.&nbsp;

Monica Barbaro embraced classic elegance in a Dior ivory silk Bar jacket paired with a crisp white poplin shirt and a sheer black tulle skirt. She completed the look with a black silk tie, black leather gloves, and pumps, topping it off with a white canotier hat adorned with a black ribbon &mdash; a refined nod to timeless tailoring.

Doja Cat embraced the theme with a structured pinstripe Marc Jacobs bodysuit featuring sculptural shoulders and hips, adorned with an intarsia ocelot print. She completed the look with sheer black tights, buckled platform ankle boots, bold jewelry, and colorful makeup including a lilac eye and red lips.

Ros&eacute; made a striking return to the Met Gala in an all-black Saint Laurent suit, marking a bold shift from her 2021 little black dress. The tailored look &mdash; sharp, minimal, and modern &mdash; paid homage to Anthony Vaccarello&rsquo;s Spring 2025 runway and its focus on suiting. She layered the suit with a dramatic cape, a nod to the legendary Andr&eacute; Leon Talley and the evening&rsquo;s dandyism theme. Sleek and confident, the ensemble blended Saint Laurent edge with classic grandeur.

Rihanna arrived in a head-to-toe Marc Jacobs look that channeled high drama through sharp tailoring. She wore a black cropped wool jacket over a sculpted wool bustier bodysuit and a pinstripe tailored skirt with a dramatic bustle. A polka-dot satin cravat added a playful twist, while ankle chain pumps and a statement hat &mdash; crafted in collaboration with Stephen Jones &mdash; completed the show-stopping ensemble.

Cynthia Erivo dazzled at the 2025 Met Gala in a custom Givenchy by Sarah Burton ensemble that masterfully blended Rococo elegance with modern dandyism. The look featured a corset-style bodice adorned with silver gems and ruby-red sequins, reminiscent of Dorothy's iconic slippers, paired with a voluminous black tulle skirt that opened at the front to reveal lace-up platform heels embellished with matching red gems. This striking outfit paid homage to her Wicked character, Elphaba, while celebrating the gala's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."

Miranda Kerr embraced classic glamour in a black velvet and silk Dior gown, styled with a dramatic black satin stole and matching silk gloves. She elevated the look with a sheer black veil, delicate heeled sandals, and softly waved hair, evoking timeless elegance with a dark romantic twist.

Pamela Anderson made a striking statement at the 2025 Met Gala in a silver crystal-embellished gown by Tory Burch. The dress featured a strong hourglass silhouette adorned with baby blue, black, and steely gems throughout. She paired the look with diamond climber earrings from Pandora, for whom she is an ambassador. Anderson's appearance was further highlighted by her new chin-length bob with micro bangs, complementing her natural makeup look.

Emma Chamberlain wore a floor-length pinstripe dress by Courr&egrave;ges, designed to resemble a tailored suit vest with lapels and a pocket square. The backless design extended to the base of the spine, adding a provocative flair. She completed the look with black mesh opera gloves, black pumps, diamond jewelry, and tousled pixie hair.

Diana Ross made a triumphant return in a white feathered gown by Nigerian designer Ugo Mozie, adorned with silver jewels and an 18-foot train embroidered with the names of her children and grandchildren. The ensemble featured intricate crystal and bead details, celebrating her legacy.

Doechii made a powerful Met Gala debut in a custom Louis Vuitton tuxedo ensemble, designed in collaboration with Pharrell Williams. Her look featured a sharply tailored jacket emblazoned with the iconic LV monogram, paired with matching checkerboard shorts and a rich mahogany tie. She completed the outfit with Tiffany &amp; Co. jewelry, including a brooch, ring, and earrings. Beauty-wise, she let her natural afro shine and added a subtle stamped LV logo on her cheek &mdash; blending high fashion with personal flair.

LISA wore a custom Louis Vuitton ensemble that elevated tailoring to an art form. Her look featured a sharply structured jacket, bodysuit, and hosiery &mdash; each piece emblazoned with the iconic LV monogram and punctuated by a pearl-adorned chain belt. Encrusted buttons and sparkling embellishments added dimension, but the true showstopper was the embroidery: portraits by celebrated artist Henry Taylor stitched into the bodice, turning the outfit into a wearable canvas. The look was both a tribute to Black artistry and a masterclass in modern luxury.

Lupita Nyong&rsquo;o lit up the Met steps in a powder-blue Chanel suit, striking the perfect balance between elegance and edge. The sharply tailored ensemble was paired with a matching wide-brimmed hat and a sheer cape that billowed behind her, adding ethereal drama. Her look was a fresh, refined interpretation of classic suiting.

Hunter Schafer embraced bold proportions in a statement Prada suit, perfectly tailored to the night's &ldquo;Tailored for You&rdquo; dress code. She paired the roomy jacket with sharply flared trousers and topped off the look with a crisp white hat, adding a playful yet polished twist to classic suiting. Effortlessly cool, her outfit was a standout take on contemporary tailoring.

Coco Jones radiated elegance in a custom look by Indian designer Manish Malhotra, featuring a cream and white embroidered coat with sharp lapels and matching tailored trousers. The long-sleeved coat, cinched at the waist and finished with a sweeping train, was adorned with intricate floral beadwork in silver, white, and cream. She accessorized with a dazzling diamond and blue sapphire necklace, stud earrings, and Jimmy Choo heels&mdash;delivering a refined, botanical twist on power dressing.

Charli XCX brought moody drama to the Met Gala in a custom Ann Demeulemeester ensemble that merged tailoring with theatrical flair. Her look featured a sharp black blazer coat layered over a cropped high-neck feathered top, paired with a sheer black maxi skirt with a thigh-high slit edged in feathers. Sculptural black plumes fanned out from behind her head like wings, delivering avant-garde impact. Brat-coded thigh-high leather boots and stacks of silver jewelry completed the rebellious, high-fashion statement.
