The Best Dressed Men At Met Gala 2025
The sharpest most sophisticated looks made their way to 'Tailored For You' dress code at Met Gala 2025 inspired by Black style
Talk about commanding presence! The men of the evening stood tall in tailor-made splendour that flirted with elegance, individuality, and boldness. A sartorial night with displays that established the theme of the party of the year—Black Dandyism : Superfine Tailoring Black Style, the Met Gala had celebrities gliding radiance.
Shiny brooches pinned, tailored jacket with long tails, and flamboyant hats wrapped in elegance, you'd think Black Dandyism is only about cravats billowing out of a vest, generous splashes of color, and maybe a finely waxed mustache.

But exactly where you go wrong. Blank dandyism defies constraint and normative code of styling. Instead, it breaks free to define individuality. And, my oh my, Met Gala 2025 did not disappoint!
The attendees at the glamourous evening at New York City were hosted by Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, with Vogue Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and Lebron James as honorary chair. Result? A night where history, celebrity, and invention converged under one magnanimous roof.
And guess what? The beautiful blue carpet with delicate daffodils—the carpet's motif made its way from Kerala to New York. The Narcissus flower that stems from the name of the Greek myth of Narcissus alluded to the moment of self reflection and appreciation at this year's Met.
Each gentleman, each outfit; every hem and cuff a manifestation of purpose and poise, and so, the moment has arrived, see the list below for the best dressed men at Met Gala 2025, setting the mood for upcoming fashion-inspirations with the dress code Tailored For You.
