Janelle Monae Redefines Met Gala 2025 Style

First, a trompe l’oeil striped suit with a sleeveless top-handle overcoat—sharp enough to cut glass. Then, the reveal: a deconstructed second suit in a bold contrast, playing with asymmetry like a sartorial high-wire act. Few could balance such conceptual daring without tipping into costume, but Monae? She owned it.

The details? A surrealist Cameron Hughes clock-monocle dangling from her hat, jewels by Marie Lichtenberg and Selim Mouzannar, and a Vacheron Constantin watch (because even time bows to her presence). Thom Browne’s head-to-toe custom designs—from the cape to the shoes—were a masterclass in controlled extravagance.

So, was this a fleeting fashion moment or the birth of a new trend? When Janelle Monae steps out, the world pays attention.

Which of Monae’s Met Gala looks resonated more with you—the structured illusion of the first suit or the deconstructed rebellion of the second? Could this redefine modern tailoring, or is it pure fantasy? Share your thoughts!
