Now that the last celebrity VIP has made her way up The Met’s steps (Rihanna, we’re talking to you), the Met Gala’s guests are off for an exclusive tour of the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, “Costume Art,” followed by a seated dinner and special performance—and, of course, the infamous after parties.
Which look was your favorite? Better yet—which look was your least favorite? We’re a bit partial to Nicole Kidman in scarlet Chanel and Emma Chamberlain’s Mugler gown that turned her body into a canvas. But there were so many to choose from, how can you pick just one? Who best embodied the intersection of fashion and art for you? Who served serious body?
We hope you had as good a time following the red carpet melee as we did. And with that, we bid you adieu and good night. Signing off! –Team Vogue

Thom Browne Takes Us On a Tour of the “Costume Art” Exhibition
Now that all of his guests have arrived, the through line of Thom Browne’s cohort is clear: Browne dressed each of his guests like the nine different sections of the exhibition.
These are the Pregnant Body, Corpulent Body, Disabled Body, Naked & Nude Body, Classical Body, Abstract Body, Aging Body, Mortal Body and Epidermal Body. Can you guess who was dressed in reference to which section?

Pretty in Pink
Not to be outdone by wife Rihanna, self-described “pretty motherf…” A$AP Rocky came ready to party in Chanel. The pink robe—plus signature floral brooch—is both elegantly disarming and utterly relaxed. Very him.

About All Those Tech Founders at the Met Gala…
Big Tech’s cozying up to fashion is strategic. As we wrote in Vogue Business in March, tech companies want to appear more as lifestyle brands—and fashion wrote the book on that.

B Is for Body
Cardi B is all body in custom Marc Jacobs. The silhouette, which is from the fall 2025 collection, takes inspiration from German artist Hans Bellmer, often recognized for the life-sized female dolls he would produce.

She Made It!
It seems marketing stunts work after all? After starring in a Marc Jacobs video in which she tried to go viral to get an invite to the Met, Rachel Sennott has arrived at the Met Gala wearing none other than Marc Jacobs. (The more likely scenario is that it was locked in all along…)

Keeping Tabis
Olivier Rousteing designed Beyoncé’s spectacular skeleton Met Gala look; he chose a more casual look, and Tabis, for himself.

I love everyone in jeans at this year’s Met from Troye to Olivier.
Where will he land next, post Balmain!?
Tabis at the Met! It’s just like the Vogue offices…
