With the 2025 Met Gala approaching—celebrating the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” at the helm of celebrity co-chairs Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky and Pharrell Williams, alongside longtime co-chair and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour—anticipation has consumed eager onlookers regarding the event’s notoriously exclusive and ceremoniously secretive guest list.
With a dress code inspired by the exhibition’s focus on menswear and suiting—aptly titled “Tailored for You,”— several influential figures in music, film and fashion are rumored to attend and expected to arrive eye-catching garments and elevated designs. Ahead is a list of this year’s most anticipated Met Gala attendees.
After the pair’s iconized back-to-back looks at last year’s gala, Zendaya and the actress’ longtime stylist Law Roach are among the list of rumored guests at this year’s gala. Teasing readers with a small taste before the big night, Roach styled several celebrities for American Vogue’s most recent issue including the looks worn by magazine’s cover star A$AP Rocky.
Capturing the attention of fashion enthusiasts with the rapper’s elevated performance looks and immersive music videos, Doechii is quickly becoming a fan favorite for her unique takes on print, texture and silhouette. Making headlines for her avant-garde ensembles while attending shows during Paris Fashion Week, many fans are hoping Doechii brings her fresh perspective to her first Met Gala red carpet.
Edebiri, one of several celebrities who dawned a custom Loewe look to the Met Gala last May, was featured in American Vogue’s most recent spread in prep for the star’s expected arrival to the museum’s coveted event. The star is well known for her juxtaposed array of looks—sporting more feminine details on the red carpet and traditionally masculine silhouettes in her personal street style—leaving fans anxiously awaiting her interpretation of the gala’s androgynous dress code.
After her exciting Met Gala debut last May, in which the musician arrived in a sand-coated gown custom designed by Balmain—a uniquely literal take on the gala’s “The Garden of Time” dress code—fans of Tyla are eager to see what she has in store for Monday’s event.
Following the release of her highly anticipated seventh studio album “Mayhem,” many are expecting Lady Gaga’s return to the Met Gala steps on May 5. The musician’s most memorable look is arguably her 2019 performance piece in which Gaga, leaning into the Camp-inspired evening, individually unveiled four unique ensembles designed by Brandon Maxwell.
A iconized figure in the fashion community for his nuanced take on street style and influential infiltration of luxury brands, Pharrell Williams is perhaps one of the event’s most anticipated guests. Fans of the multi-hyphenate are excited to see how Williams will bring his energy to the Met Gala red carpet.
With a consistent annual attendance record over the past several years, Emma Chamberlain is best known amongst Met Gala viewers for her entertaining celebrity red carpet interviews. However, the Vogue celebrity correspondent always takes the opportunity to put her own spin on the gala’s dress code—partnering with longtime stylist Jared Ellner on elevated designer looks and bold silhouettes.
After appearing as American Vogue’s May cover star, all eyes will be on A$AP Rocky when he arrives to Monday’s gala. The rapper is expected to appear alongside longtime partner and international pop sensation Rihanna—most recognizable in this setting for her 2015 Met Gala look from designer Guo Pei.
Coming down from her widely impactful ‘’Brat’’ album release last summer, many fans of Charli xcx are eager to see what the pop star will wear to the gala. The musician arrived to last year’s event in a custom Marni gown made from ripped cotton T-shirts.
Fresh off the award show circuit after the release of his widely nominated Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown,’’ Timothée Chalamet is a highly anticipated guest for this year’s Met Gala. Often putting his own spin on traditional men’s suiting with eye-catching colorways, detailed silhouettes and casual shoe pairings, fans are eager to see how the actor will interpret this year’s dress code. Chalamet will presumably attend the gala alongside girlfriend Kylie Jenner who has been attending the event consistently for several years, dressed in designer looks alongside other members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
