The 2025 Met Gala centered on “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” a tribute to Black dandyism and its deep influence on fashion, individuality, and cultural pride. Drawing from centuries of style—from Harlem Renaissance elegance to contemporary interpretations of luxury tailoring—the evening celebrated self-expression through sharp silhouettes, opulence, and rebellion against conformity.
For her first Met Gala appearance, Chappell Roan brought theatrical flair and unapologetic glamour to the red carpet. Dressed in a dazzling pink patchwork suit with exaggerated flared sleeves and bell-bottoms, she paired the look with towering lace-up platform boots and waist-length flowing hair. Her ensemble channeled ‘70s disco with a twist—bold, expressive, and made to stand out.
Pat McGrath, the visionary behind Roan’s makeup, revealed that the beauty inspiration drew heavily from the freedom and sparkle of the disco era. “Think Sylvester, Superfly, superfine tailoring, and unapologetic shine,” she said.
Using Divine Blush in Cherish to sculpt the cheeks and layering shadows from Luminous Legends and Petalmorphosis palettes, McGrath built an eye look packed with shimmer, illustrated wings, chrome lashes, and rhinestone details. She finished it off with sharp eyeliner, bold lashes on both top and bottom, and a look designed to move—metallic, maximalist, and pure glam rock.
Chappell Roan’s interpretation added a flamboyant, era-bending edge to the evening’s celebration of style, blending historic influence with pop-forward theatricality.
