Celebs Storm The 2025 Met Gala Celebrating 'Dandyism'

Regina King made a striking entrance at the 2025 Met Gala in a custom Who Decides War creation that redefined modern dandyism. She was styled by Wayman & Micah, and the sharply tailored pinstripe suit featured architectural shoulders and a sculpted hip extension, offset by delicate, ivy-green lace appliqué climbing the legs. She finished the look with hair by Jennifer Lord, makeup by Vincent Oquendo, and nails by Honey Nailz.

Speaking of Who Decides War, actress Danielle Deadwyler was outfitted in the designs by stylists Wayman and Micah, too.

The stylist duo combined Look 33, 39, and 40 from the brand’s SS25 Runway Collection to create a dandy-inspired red carpet look for the Till actress.

Also seen on the scene was Russell Wilson, who made the Met a date night with Ciara.

While Ciara donned custom LaQuan Smith, Russell made his Met debut in a handmade Tiger Stripe Jacquard dinner jacket in black, designed by luxury menswear brand Frère, a Black-owned custom tailoring label.

Other style standouts include Nicki Minaj, who was styled by Law Roach in Thom Browne with Samer Halimeh 18K gold earrings…

Lauryn Hill in a yellow suit accessorized with an Hermes Kelly bag…

Keke Palmer, who drew inspiration from Dorothy Dandridge…

Kim Kardashian in Chrome Hearts…

And CoCo Jones, who looked ethereal at her very first Met Gala.

Naturally, André 3,000 was a show-stopper at the Met. The OutKast legend showed up with a piano strapped to his back to announce his 7 piano sketches EP.

Burberry crafted Stacks’ bespoke piano-inspired ensemble in collaboration with Benji Bixby, styled by renowned fashion architect, Law Roach.

According to a press release, André’s 7 piano sketches project was partially composed nearly a decade ago in a minimalist Texas home shared with his son, and began as raw piano sketches.
