# Top 10 Best-Dressed Celebs at the 2025 MET Gala: Janelle Monae in a Red and Black Thom Browne Tuxedo, Rihanna in a Black Marc Jacobs Look, Jodie Turner in a Maroon Burburry Leather Set, & Claire Sulmers in a Red Deji & Kola Custom Suit
The excitement is still brewing after last Monday’s [**MET Gala** ](https://www.vogue.com/tag/event/met-gala)where celebrities paid tribute to the iconic [Andre Leon Talley](https://www.instagram.com/andreltalley/?hl=en) in some of the most fabulous ensembles to hit the carpet.
**Black Dandyism** never looked so good, and the theme “*Superfine: Tailoring Black Style*,” called for sharp tailoring, powerhouse suiting, and elaborate accessories. This year’s MET Gala, which garnered a record-breaking [**31-million dollars**](https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/met-gala-breaks-record-31-million-1237616027/) in proceeds, highlighted black pride, history and identity.
We’ve gathered our **Top 10 Best Looks** from the annual fundraising gala, and let’s just say the competition was fierce this year. From **Janelle Monae** captivating attendees in a statement look by **Thom Browne** and **Paul Tazewell,** to **Rihanna** revealing her third pregnancy in a custom **Marc Jacobs** ensemble with a red-polka dot tie, and a black oversized fedora, the fashion was fashioning.
**Jodie Turner** left us in awe in a burgundy Burberry leather look by **Daniel Lee** in collaboration with **Law Roach**. With a modern victorian silhouette, Jodie’s look blended historical references with contemporary tailoring. She wasn’t the only to stand out on the red carpet, as our very own *Fashion Bomb daily* CEO **Claire Sulmers** was a total showstopper. The legendary **Swanky Jerry** flew all the way from Africa to personally deliver a custom red monochromatic suit by **Deji & Kola.** Talk about excellency.
**Mellody Hobson** was a class act in grey Chanel suit adorned with broaches and chains, while **Nicki Minaj** offered her take on dandyism a in pinstripe suit by **Thom Browne** that had 3-D flowers and a mermaid silhouette.
Speaking of pinstripes, **Teyana Taylor** partnered with Oscar-winning costume designer **Ruth E. Carter** to create a three-piece suit, that was complimented with a long red cape that was embroidered with “Harlem Rose.” From **Teyana’s** leather gloves, to her long durag that was topped with a feather fedora, we saw layers of black style embedded throughout her ensemble.
**Lauryn Hill,** who is known for her tailored pieces with afrocentric references, wore a custom butter yellow suit by **Cheney Chan** that was so avant-garde. Her suit was designed with exaggerated shoulders and a long dramatic collar resembling wings and a unique halo-like presence. We give Lauryn 10’s across the board because she definitely delivered.
Similar to **Janelle Monae**, and **Nicki Minaj,** **Mona Patel** was another breakout star in **Thom Browne**, blending fashion with technology. Her black custom suit was completed with a corset bodice, and a flare cape. She incorporated AI into her haute couture look by accessorizing with a robotic dog named Vector that had a rhinestone leash.
Last, but certainly not least, **CoCo Jones** made it to our top 10 best looks, in a cream and white long sleeve embroidered coat with matching pants by Indian designer **Manish Malhotra**. The impeccable beadwork, combined with her long braid and confidence, made CoCo a standout sensation on the carpet.
Ahead, check out our TOP 10 best-dressed celebs at the 2025 MET Gala!
