From sharp silhouettes to reimagined suiting, the night was a celebration of Black fashion history, individuality, and the joy of dressing up. Here are the looks we couldn’t stop talking about:

Zendaya gave us vintage cool in a crisp white three-piece zoot suit, custom Louis Vuitton by Pharrell. From the wide-brimmed hat to the sparkling brooch pinned under her collar, it was every bit as slick as it was symbolic. And yes — that red manicure and new engagement ring made it even more iconic.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky revealed baby number three is on the way ahead of the carpet, and Rih didn’t disappoint. She debuted her bump in a layered Marc Jacobs look: bustier, black skirt, cropped jacket — topped with a tie and a sculptural hat by Stephen Jones. A moment!

Lupita Nyong’o lit up the carpet in a monochromatic Chanel suit in pastel green. The tailoring was impeccable, and the mini bolero hat? A cherry on top.

Tems gave us culture and couture in a deep blue patterned shirt dress by Ozwald Boateng — complete with a matching umbrella. Artistry in motion.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who was on the host committee, reminded us that feathers are forever in a fiery red ballgown with bows, feathered accents, and De Beers jewels that whispered: elegance, but make it African storytelling.

And we can’t forget Savannah James, who made her Met Gala debut in a show-stopping burgundy suit-inspired gown by Hanifa. The pinstripe jacket, exposed boning, and full mermaid skirt made it equal parts soft and structured — everything the theme called for.

If this year’s Met taught us anything, it’s that tailoring isn’t just about seams and stitches — it’s about storytelling, and our people told it well.
