Megan Thee Stallion at 2025 Met Gala • CelebMafia

Megan Thee Stallion’s 2025 Met Gala look honored Josephine Baker with glam, grit, and a bold red updo—though one detail held it back.

When Megan Thee Stallion stepped onto the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps on May 5, 2025, she didn’t just walk into the Met Gala—she embodied a legacy. Celebrating this year’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, Megan drew from the luminous aura of Josephine Baker, blending vintage cabaret opulence with modern-day swagger.

Clad in a custom Michael Kors Collection silver gown, shimmering with embellishments and paired with a white faux fur coat, the look screamed Old Hollywood with a fresh edge. Her red coiffed hair, sculpted into a voluminous three-tiered ponytail (an instant showstopper), nodded cleverly to Baker’s The French Way glam. Crafted by longtime collaborator Kellon Deryck, the style, dubbed the “Leaning Tower of Diamonds,” delivered height, symbolism, and sparkle.

Yet even the best visions can falter in the details. A too-tight bustier slightly stole the moment, pulling focus from the otherwise seamless storytelling. Fit, after all, is everything.

Still, Megan’s interpretation was heartfelt, ambitious, and bold—a visual poem to Black style history.
