As a Black woman, the 2025 Met Gala theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” resonates deeply. My own lineage includes many Black men and women known for their sharp sense of style, like my late uncle Jeffrey, who obsessed over his tailored designer suits, or my late grandmother Blanche, who always showed up to church dressed to the nines. From them, I learned that fashion is more than just clothing; it’s a powerful form of expression. Throughout history, Black people have turned to fashion and beauty as a means to communicate identity, celebrate culture, and convey pride. Tonight’s red carpet will honor this very idea.
With the dress code being “Tailored For You,” I’m eager to see how my favorite celebrities bring the essence of Black style to life through their outfits. But as a beauty editor, it should come as no surprise that the makeup, hair, and nails they choose to pair with their looks matter just as much to me. Ahead, you’ll find the 2025 Met Gala beauty looks that moved me the most.
