All the best-dressed men at the 2025 Met Gala
The men pulled out their best for the first Monday in May
Words: Zak Maoui
The Met Gala 2025 dress code is "Tailored to you", nodding to the Costume Institute's theme for the year of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”.
It is the first Met Gala theme in over 20 years to focus on menswear and it was inspired by guest curator Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
The stars in attendance, from Colman Domingo to Lewis Hamilton (both of whom were co-chairs), played with the dress code in their own way.
See below our favourite looks from the night...
Lewis Hamilton

Co-chair Lewis Hamilton traded in the racing gloves for a look that nodded to the Black Panthers. He wore a custom fit from Wales Bonner (complemented by Briony Raymond jewellery), which was completed by a beret - historically a symbol of revolution, while the whole look nodded to the Black portraiture and conceptualism of Colman DomingoBarkley L. Hendricks.

Dressed in custom Valentino, Domingo turned up in a blue regal fit, which he said in interviews was a nod to André Leon Talley, as well as Beau Brummell, the original 18th century Dandy. But minutes later he threw off the cape to reveal a polka dot and striped suit that was all bells, whistles and flowers.
Pharrell Williams

As the creative director of menswear at Louis Vuitton, this was Pharrell's night. And he wore a pearl-embellished LV jacket and Tiffany & Co jewels that oozed high glamour.
Lakeith Stanfield

Lakeith Stanfield wore a look from Ferragamo and British designer Maximilian Davis that was inspired by the Black dandy and the history of clothing as a means of redefining identity
