Met Ball 2025: The most spectacular outfits of the gala

Stars like Kim Kardashian, Lauryn Hill, Nicole Kidman, Stevie Wonder and Madonna celebrated the opening of a new fashion exhibition at a gala in the New York Metropolitan Museum. Based on the title of the show – “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” – many of the celebrities showed themselves on the blue carpet with flower patterns in tailor -made outfits black designers.

The singer Rihanna, who appeared after all other guests, outshone everything. Reporters thought to recognize a visible baby bump and called her pregnancy congratulations for whom Rihanna thanked for. The husband of the pop star, the US rapper A $ AP Rocky, confirmed to journalists Rihanna’s pregnancy and accepted the congratulations of the reporters on the red Met carpet. “I am glad that everyone is happy for us, because we are definitely happy,” said the rapper, who was also a co-host.

The event peppered with star guests traditionally takes place on the first Monday in May. The top host of the benefit gala was again Anna Wintour, head of the US fashion magazine “Vogue”. For decades, the event was a meeting of the New York High Society. Since Anna Wintour took over the organization in the 1990s, the gala has been turning into one of the most important show runs of the rich and famous, in which stars compete in the as spectacular outfits as possible. Despite the pouring rain, dozens of onlookers had gathered on the Fifth Avenue many hours before the spectacle to get a look at the stars.

The “Met Ball”, which is often known as the “party of the year”, is an annual donation event for the Metropolitan Museum’s costume institute. The income from the “Costume Institute Benefit”, which is estimated to be several million dollars, form the annual budget of the institute, which is now named after Wintour. According to the “New York Times”, a place at one of the tables cost $ 75,000 this year (just under 70,000 euros) and a whole table $ 350,000. This time the exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” is to open with the spectacle.

With its motto, this year’s Met-Gala tied to the anti-racism movement Black Lives Matter, which in 2020 was triggered by the death of African American George Floyd when he was arrested by the police. The MET topic had been developed for years, but has now coincided with President Donald Trump’s recent efforts by President Donald Trump to delete institutional diversity programs.

Programs for diversity, equality and inclusion-abbreviated in English as dei-should contribute too diversity among students and lecturers, especially at US universities. Numerous large companies in the United States have also initiated such programs, especially against the background of the strengthening of the Black-Lives-Matter movement.
