Megan Thee Stallion Debuts Beaded Noir at NYC Gala 2025

The rapper wore a black halter gown from Off-White, featuring a keyhole neckline and a sculpted silhouette that hugged her frame with precision. But it was the beadwork—intricate, asymmetrical, and metallic—that elevated the dress into something more architectural. The embellishments traced her waist and hips like constellations, catching the light with every turn.

One word: geometry.

Styled with restraint, Megan’s accessories were minimal: a silver asymmetrical belt integrated into the gown’s design, and no visible jewelry beyond a pair of diamond studs. Her hair was slicked into a low bun, emphasizing the clean lines of the dress, while her makeup leaned into shimmer—silver eyeshadow, glowing skin, and a glossy nude lip.

Klay Thompson, making his red carpet debut as Megan’s partner, matched her energy in a classic black tux. The couple walked hand-in-hand, posed for cameras, and shared a quick kiss before Megan stepped forward solo—her moment, her mission.

The gala, hosted by Taraji P. Henson and featuring performances by Muni Long and DJ D-Nice, raised funds for education, housing, and wellness initiatives through the Pete & Thomas Foundation, named in honor of Megan’s late parents. “I feel like they’re looking down on me,” she told PEOPLE. “I feel like my momma’s so happy.”
