The 2025 Met Gala red carpet saw a wide range of interpretations for this year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” But one look that immediately caught online attention was Doja Cat’s bold, sculptural outfit.

Instead of a typical gown, she wore a black-and-silver pinstriped bodysuit with leopard-print accents, tall platform shoes, and a sculpted hairstyle that brought to mind Grace Jones’ iconic 1980s style. Fans flooded social media with reactions, ranging from admiration to confusion.

One user summed up the general buzz with:

“Finally some Grace Jones inspo,”

Referencing the 80s fashion icon and singer known for her gender-bending, avant-garde style.

Another added: “She didn’t come to match the theme. She came to define it.”

Some fans compared it to Grace Jones’ 1980s aesthetic, all sharp angles and drama. Others pointed out similarities to retro.


Some people liked the futuristic style, while others didn’t understand the theme connection

Many people online called the outfit futuristic or theatrical. They compared its strong shoulders and metallic stripes to costumes in sci-fi films. A few comments noted that it looked more like a performance costume than a tribute to classic tailoring.

Some fans were confused and didn’t like the outfit.

People commented,

A HOT ASS MESS! 🤨😒 ughh she’s allergic to serving,”
Not my jam but cool!”

These comments show that while some people found the outfit interesting, others didn’t enjoy it at all.


People shared different opinions online, both good and bad

The reactions on social media were mixed. Some fans liked how Doja Cat stood out.

One person wrote, “Doja Cat is on fire #MetGala,”
Another said, “SHE’S AN 80S POPSTAR!!!”

These fans thought she looked strong and different from the rest.

However, some people didn’t understand how her outfit matched the theme of nature and beauty. Fashion writers noted that Doja Cat’s bold choice was in line with her reputation for surprises at the gala.


Doja Cat is known for wearing different and bold outfits at the Met Gala

This is not the first time Doja Cat has worn something unusual to the Met Gala. In 2023, she dressed up like a cat, with makeup and fake whiskers to look like Karl Lagerfeld’s pet cat. That outfit also got a lot of attention.

In 2025, Doja Cat's look once again got people talking. Whether people liked it or not, it stood out and became a big part of the night’s conversation. At events like the Met Gala, getting people to notice and talk about your outfit is often just as important as following the theme exactly.
