The report really played to his strength .
The 2025Met Galahas landed! It’s a celebration of the museum’s exhibitSuperfine: Tailoring Black Style, andthe theme is “Tailored for You.”
Who better to represent that theme than the dandyest music artist in entertainment — André 3000.
It’s been 17 years since he last walked the Met Gala carpet, and trust me, he already understood the assignment.
3k didn’t disappoint this year, and showed up to the red carpet with an entire baby grand piano on his back.
Here’s a close-up:
Here’s what it looks like from another angle:
André 3000 worked with famed celebrity stylistLaw Roachand Burberry chief creative officer Daniel Lee.
André’s Burberry x Benji Bixby jumpsuit is a callback to his style, reminiscent of his OutKast 2014 reunion tour look. In an interview withGQ, Andre explained how it all came together.
There’s actually a reason behind the piano on the back. On May 5, André dropped a surprise new EP,7 Piano Sketches,in time with his Met Gala debut. LikeNew Blue Sun,his flute-based New Age album, there’s no rapping but instead “seven raw, improvisational solo-piano pieces, plus oddball voice-note introductions at the top of each number by André,” as Samuel Hine ofGQdescribes.
André 3000 never disappoints!
