It ’s telephone FASHION , face it up .

Last night’s Met Gala exceeded my expectations! This is one of the rare times when the majority of attendees understood the assignment and dressed on theme, which happened to be “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

While the women usually have my attention on red carpets, for this event, the men changed all of that. This year, they had a point to prove and, baby, they did it. I often feel like a lot of men play it safe with fashion, but not for the 2025 Met Gala. This time they came to play!

Here are a few of my favorite looks from the men at the 2025 Met Gala:

1.Brian Tyree Henry

The way this color popped on his skin should be studied! He wore customOrange Culture Nigeria, and I’m still taking in all of the details.

2.Justin Jefferson

This outfit is layered in more ways than one, and I can’t get the dramatic look out of my head. The Minnesota Vikings wide receiver teamed up withPublic School NYCfor his Met Gala debut.

3.Colman Domingo

The Met Gala co-chair wore not one, but TWO sublimeValentinooutfits, and, honestly, I wouldn’t expect anything less from him. His first royal lookpaid homage to his motherwho adored the color blue, while his second mixed patterns with exaggerated accessories.

4.Bad Bunny

I’m soPradathis ensemble he wore on the carpet. The various shades of brown were the perfect touch and completely complemented the embellished leather gloves. The musician never ceases to show love to his island home of Puerto Rico, which he did by sporting apava(a traditional straw hat often worn by jibaro, rural Puerto Rican farmers).

5.Lewis Hamilton

Lewis is another co-chair who let the details speak for themselves, and they had a lot to say! ThisWales Bonnersuit is a celebration of ancestral history. Stylist Eric J. McNealdescribedit best: “This look is a meditation on ancestry, adornment, and the sacred language of elegance. Ivory for purity and presence. Cowries for memory and protection. A garnet-hued gleam for quiet strength.”

6.Shaboozey

The “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” singer wore a beautifully tailored suit with a cropped jacket, but it was theturquoise beadsthat draped the front and back of his suit that really stole the show. And to add a special hat nod to Black culture, Shaboozey donned colorful grillz to match the beads.

7.Khaby Lame

The most-followed person on TikTok was right on time with an archive-inspired customBosssuit, but I truly couldn’t keep my eyes off the pocket watches attached to the gray look.

8.Alton Mason

Bossdid it again with this number! I don’t care how corny this sounds, but this look stole my heart. I love when celebs step outside the box and do the unexpected when it comes to fashion, and this is a prime example. The sparkles, the eyepatch, the cape, the cutout…I mean, what’s not to love?!

9.Keith Powers

Pairing a cropped jacket with wide-leg trousers? The mixture of opposing lengths was so easy on the eyes. And whenBossdecided to throw in diverse patterns with the polka dot tie and striped shirt, I was sold!

10.Damson Idris

I kid you not, when they tore open his racing suit to unveil this sexy rougeTommy Hilfigertuxedo, I audibly gasped! Literally no notes. The mesh of textures in the jacket, the bell-bottoms, and the matching helmet were chef’s kiss.

11.Caleb McLaughlin

The first thing that came to mind when I saw Caleb was, “Wow, he looks so dapper,” and that’s when I knew he nailed it! There’s something about the gloves and the accessories that took this vintageDiorsuit to another level. Stranger things have happened on the carpet, but this one deserves all the praise.

12.Manish Malhotra

13.Last, but certainly not least, Tramell Tillman

Three hundred hours of handwork went into bringing thisThom Browneoutfit to life, and each minute was well worth it! I came for the unique adornment of calla lilies on the jacket, but I stayed for the pinstripe pants and elongated black velvet tailcoat. My oh my!

Honestly, I might have to make a part two because there are several men that really showed up and showed out for the Met Gala this year.
