Met Gala 2025: Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Zendaya, Lizzo, Serena Williams, Ciara, & More Turn Heads with BOLD Looks [Photos]

For fashionistas and fashion-forward fellows, “fashion’s biggest night out” – better known as the Met Gala – is easily the most wonderful time of year.

A designer costume party that doubles as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City, the outing – which typically occurs the first Monday in May – is an annual assembly for Hollywood’s “who’s who” to show off some truly outrageous and over-the-top ensembles courtesy of top-named and well-respected designers.

This year’s event was helmed by a panel of all Black male co-chairs: A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams, and Colman Domingo for the theme ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.’

Hop inside to see how big names like Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Shakira, Cardi B, Lizzo, Angela Bassett, Cynthia Erivo, Doja Cat, Doechii, Megan Thee Stallion, Halle Bailey, Halle Berry, Lauryn Hill, Sabrina Carpenter, Miley Cyrus, Chappell Roan, Serena Williams, and more showed up and out on the red carpet.
