An exhibition of their own

MET Gala 2025 looks that need more attention

The first Monday in May has come and gone with the Met Gala in full swing. The theme was Tailored for You to celebrate the Superfine: Tailoring Black Style exhibition. Dapper Dan stated that every one dresses to make a statement, while the Dandy makes a narrative. These are the outfits I think could make an exhibition on their own…

SHAH RUKH KHAN

Fun fact, I am a BIG Bollywood fan so I was excited with all the aunties when I heard SRK will be at the MET! I feel like he put his own spin on the Dandy look to really make it tailored for him!

I really wanted a picture of him doing his signature pose to make this look even more iconic because I LOVE this outfit.

TEMS

Tems BABYYYY! An Ozwald Boateng look?! It is so fem-dandy I LOVE IT

BURNA BOY

He already reminds me of a modern day Dandy so I’m not surprised that he got the theme right. It’s a character, an attitude, he got it.

LAURA HARRIER

It’s not even funny, I need to own this outfit. She said, you gonna remember me tonight and Laura, I will be dreaming of this outfit!

LAURYN HILL

What a beautiful colour and silhouette and then pair it with an afro - SOLD, TAKE MY MONEYYYYY

LOUIS PARTRIDGE

Now this isn’t the most daring look, but there is also a subtleness to Dandyism that I think he bodied, good on you lad!

COCO JONES

I have been loving her reemergence onto my FYP page and this might have just done it - Can someone get her in a movie because she comes to serve!

IMAAN HAMMAM

Last, but certainly not least. Imaan, do I need to say anything? The look, the walk, the poses - mission accomplished

This was the first year since Lockdown that I actually didn’t stay up all night watching, reviewing and critiquing every single look. (Uni deadline is around the corner so the focus is on that until I can actually HOST the MET❤️). But I couldn’t resist scratching the internet for all the looks last night.
