When it comes to high fashion moments at the Met Gala, Marc Jacobs never misses. This year was no exception as the iconic American designer sent a string of A-listers down the carpet in custom looks that were equal parts sculptural, theatrical, and unapologetically bold. From a surprise baby bump reveal to glittering embellishments and precision tailoring, here’s everyone who showed up and showed out in Marc Jacobs.
Rihanna’s Grand Reveal
Rihanna reminded us why she’s the queen of the Met with a powerful, layered look. The ensemble, styled by Jahleel Weaver, combined menswear-inspired tailoring with feminine edge including a sharp jacket, corseted bodysuit, and a pinstriped skirt with an unexpected bustle detail. The global superstar topped it off with a polka dot necktie and oversized hat. Oh, and she casually revealed her new baby bump on the carpet, in true Rihanna fashion.
Doja Cat’s Crystal Armor
Doja Cat hit the carpet in a chic custom blazer-bodysuit that fused businesswear with full glam. Styled by Brett Alan Nelson, her look featured Swarovski crystal embroidered pinstripes, plush velvet accents, and fierce ankle boots. The outfit served a rebellious twist on traditional tailoring, fitting Doja’s unpredictable Met style evolution to a T.
J Balvin, But Make It Pastel
Latin superstar J Balvin took a softer turn in a pastel pink three-piece suit that felt both romantic and refined, tailored by Ralph Fitzgerald and trimmed with satin for an elevated edge. The look was topped off with a floppy wool fedora with a grosgrain band, a subtle nod to vintage Americana with a fresh twist.
Valentina Ferrer’s Sculptural Elegance
Model and actress Valentina Ferrer stunned in a custom sculptural satin gown, featuring a bold polka dot bodice that added just the right amount of playful contrast. Sleek black pumps completed the look, letting the architectural shape of the dress do all the talking.
Tracee Ellis Ross: Bold in Burgundy
Tracee Ellis Ross, a Met Gala regular known for her fearless fashion, turned heads in a rich, jewel-toned ensemble that played with shape and proportion. Styled by Karla Welch, her cropped jacket, voluminous pants, and classic fedora came together for a dramatic, high-fashion moment. But it was her fuschia cumberbund bow-belt that tied the look together.
From avant-garde accessories to statement suiting, Marc Jacobs once again cemented his place as a red carpet visionary.
