Suki Waterhouse Masters Monochrome at Met Gala 2025 • CelebMafia

Suki Waterhouse dazzles in Michael Kors and Jacob & Co. at the Met Gala, pairing sleek tailoring with Merit’s effortless glow.

Who said black tie has to be boring? Suki Waterhouse just rewrote the rules at the 2025 Met Gala in a head-turning Michael Kors ensemble—a backless tuxedo vest paired with a razor-sharp column skirt. The look was a masterclass in minimalism, but let’s be real: the devil was in the details. Jacob & Co. piled on the drama with a Riviera necklace, diamond tennis bracelet, and a boutique watch that probably costs more than a Manhattan studio. And those Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps? Iconic.

But the real star? Her skin. Waterhouse’s makeup artist, Cedric Jolivet, leaned into Merit’s cult-favorite Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick for a “sophisticated, effortless, yet edgy” glow. (Side note: Martha Stewart’s stamp of approval? We’re sold.) The $38 multitasker blurred pores, erased dark circles, and served up hydration like a luxury facial. Paired with Merit’s Great Skin Serum and Flush Balm blush, it was less “makeup” and more “lit-from-within sorcery.”

So, does Waterhouse’s sleek, monochrome moment signal a return to tailored glam? Or is the real takeaway that great skin never goes out of style?
