As one of the co-chairs of the event, A$AP Rocky attended the 2025 Met Gala dressed to the nines, reflecting the event's theme. The Met Gala incorporated the idea of themes that corresponded with the Institute's annual exhibition in 1972, and since then, the gala has always had a theme that differs each year.
This year, the theme of the 2025 Met Gala was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” and A$AP Rocky’s outfit for the event reflected the theme and showcased black Dandyism.
A$AP Rocky wore a double-breasted parka crafted from technical wool that featured Velcro detailing on the sleeves and coated snaps. He wore the parka over a white shirt and black vest paired with black slacks, shiny black Oxford shoes by Christian Louboutin x AWGE, and Ray Ban glasses. He finished up his look with jewellery pieces from Bvlgari and a Briony Raymond customised umbrella covered in 90 carats-worth of diamonds, with its handle shaped like a gun.

A$AP Rocky stepped into the 2025 Met Gala dressed in an outfit styled and designed by his creative agency, AWGE. His parka was inspired by the native Harlem Marmot outwear coat, which was quite popular in his childhood.
Rocky and long-time stylist, Matthew Henson, described the outfit to Vogue.
“Marmots are a Harlem tradition—in the winter, everyone has a Marmot on. That was our teenage jacket,” A$AP said during his final fitting.
“It’s a really crazy outdoor technical jacket, but it has a really beautiful shape. It closes the same way that a tuxedo would,” added Henson.
A few hours after the conclusion of the event, A$AP Rocky’s Met Gala coat is now up for sale on AWGE for a sum of $2,300.
A$AP Rocky co-chaired the 2025 Met Ball with Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, Anna Wintour, and basketball icon LeBron James (an honorary chair). Other committee members for the event included Chimamanda Adichie, Doechi, Sha'Carri Richardson, Regina King, and Usher.
Andrew Bolton, curator of the Met Gala, described 2025’s theme as follows:
“Superfine: Tailoring Black Style is our department’s first exhibition devoted to menswear in more than 20 years. The show also reflects our ongoing commitment to diversifying our exhibitions in a way that is authentic to The Costume Institute. What makes it possible to translate Monica’s book, Slaves to Fashion, into an exhibition is our collection of high-style menswear, which serves as a foundation for imagining and realising this important sartorial history.”
Prof. Monica L. Miller, an invited curator, further describes the theme for the 2025 event as follows:
“Dandyism can seem frivolous, but it often poses a challenge to or a transcendence of social and cultural hierarchies. It asks questions about identity, representation, and mobility in relation to race, class, gender, sexuality, and power. The exhibition explores this concept as both a pronouncement and a provocation.”
Other celebrities who stunned on the 2025 Met Gala’s red carpet include Rihanna, Coco Jones, Teyana Taylor, Colman Domingo, and Doechii, to mention a few.
