From the Met Gala to your wardrobe: steal the look for less

The fashion world held its breath earlier this week as the Met Gala 2025 unfolded in New York. As always, the biggest stars took their places on the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dressed in creations that ranged from timeless to avant-garde.

But the Met Gala isn’t just any party, it’s a charity event benefiting the Costume Institute of the museum. Each year, the event revolves around a specific theme, setting the tone for the accompanying exhibition. This year’s theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," is a powerful tribute to the rich history and influence of Black dandyism, celebrating the role of fashion in shaping Black identities. Inspired by Monica L. Miller's book Slaves to Fashion, the exhibition, which opens on May 10th, explores the sartorial revolution that has had a lasting impact on the fashion world.

The dress code, “Tailored for You,” encouraged guests to rock custom-made looks that emphasized both personal expression and craftsmanship. From bold silhouettes to reimagined classics, the red carpet was a vibrant display of creativity and refined tailoring, showcasing how fashion can be both a personal statement and a work of art.

We’ve done the work for you: we picked the most iconic looks of the night and found affordable alternatives so you can recreate them without the celebrity price tag. From sharp tailoring to standout silhouettes, your Met Gala moment is just a scroll away.
