Celebrities such as Lisa, Hailey Bieber, Cynthia Erivo, and Sabrina Carpenter made a bold statement at the 2025 Met Gala by ditching their pants. This fashion trend was seen as a major highlight of the evening. The theme of the event was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” honoring the influence of Black fashion and dandyism. Stars like Charli XCX and Doja Cat also embraced the pantsless look, each adding their own unique twist to the trend. Pharrell Williams played a significant role in styling some of the attendees, including Lisa and his wife Helen Lasichanh. The red carpet was filled with daring fashion choices, making it a memorable night for all in attendance.
In a custom Valentino outfit, model Amelia Gray Hamlin stood out with one of the most talked-about looks of the night. “Embracing the flamboyant, daring, and unique style of Black dandyism, we took bold risks that pushed boundaries,” explained her stylist Danyul Brown to WWD. “We aimed to pay homage to the era of the Black dandy while tailoring it to suit Amelia’s aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from the dandy and Black dandyism has always been a key element of my styling approach, making this theme incredibly thrilling to work with.” Amelia Gray Hamlin was a standout at the 2025 Met Gala.
