The invite-only event takes place on the first Monday in May each year, and like every other year, the fashion did not disappoint.
The theme for this year's Met Gala was 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style', which celebrates black dandyism and African fashion, shining a spotlight on the history of black style.
Some of the world's biggest stars, from Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton to music royalty like Rihanna, all walked the red carpet.

One person who caught the eye of many, landing her on the best-dressed lists, was South African singer Tyla.
This is not the first time the Grammy-winning star has attended the Met Gala.
Following her breakout year, Tyla also attended the 2024 Met wearing a sand sculpture.

The Joburg-born singer turned heads and understood the assignment of this year's theme in a chic outfit blending vintage glamour and contemporary tailoring.
Vogue editor-in-chief and Met Gala co-chair Anna Wintour invited the 'Water' hitmaker to join this year's host committee.
Tyla, styled by Zendaya's stylist Law Roach, wore a custom Jacquemus outfit that paid homage to the late fashion icon André Leon Talley.
I wanted to imagine what it would be like to wear one of André’s shirts, so Law and Simone and Jacquemus brought that to life.

Tyla went from debuting and slaying at the Met Gala 2024, to being a member of the 2025 host committee and still slaying.
