Celebrities in Louis Vuitton at the 2025 Met Gala

One thing Pharrell Williams will do is give you fashion history through a high-style lens—especially when the Met Gala calls. As co-chair and Louis Vuitton Men’s Creative Director, Pharrell brought a whole crew along for a masterclass in dandyism, filtered through every era from Georgian England to hip-hop’s golden age. With tailoring at the centre and storytelling sewn into every stitch, these looks were more than on-theme—they were a rich, roguish celebration of individuality, culture and craftsmanship.

Checkmate, but make it Rococo

Doechii proved once again that she’s not here to fade into the background. Her look, crafted by Pharrell and inspired by the flamboyant Afro-Caribbean fencing master Julius Soubise, felt like eighteenth-century realness beamed straight into 2025. The courtly habit à la Française got a modern remix with chequered shorts, a pale blue LV monogrammed tailcoat, and a poet shirt worthy of a period drama. Add socks and chunky-soled Mary Janes, and it’s clear: this was not just a look, this was a story told in layers. Her Louis Vuitton bag and Tiffany & Co. jewels were the cherry on top.

She came to play the piano and steal the show

Sabrina Carpenter took the dandy energy and turned it into something deeply theatrical. Her burgundy Louis Vuitton piano jacket with elongated tails screamed showtime, but the details really pulled the look together: Savile Row meets Parisian corsetry with Jazz Age pinstripes and a starched collar that touched rock royalty territory. It was rich, referential and completely fabulous—proving that when it comes to Pharrell’s tailoring vision, size does matter (especially when it’s collar height).

Art imitates pop star

Lisa was textbook cool in a bespoke look that gave dandy tailoring a haute couture twist. The real kicker? The intricate lace of her corseted outfit was inspired by the work of American artist Henry Taylor, making this a full-circle art moment wrapped in LV luxury. With her Speedy P9 Bandoulière 20 evening bag and a string of pearls she served star power by a hip-hop futurist.

This was a banker

Jeremy Allen White reminded us that the quietest looks can still be loud in impact. His sculpted pinstriped Louis Vuitton suit took a page out of 1920s banker-meets-Jazz-Age-dandy style, but Pharrell stripped it back just enough to let the shape and texture do the talking. A pearl-button finish brought the drama without ever raising its voice with a Skydiamond brooch and Jaeger-LeCoultre watch completing his look.

Tracksuits and tailoring walk into a ballroom

Future’s look took the Prince of Wales check and threw it in a blender with streetwear swagger. His Pharrell-designed Louis Vuitton outfit didn’t just nod to dandyism—it rewrote the rules. With embroidered crystals and beading thrown into the mix, this was proof that tracksuits belong at the Met Gala if they’re cut like this.

Bring on the “toppings”

Pusha-T went the crystal route, wearing a classic Louis Vuitton suit with a shoulder panel that glistened like a rainstorm of gems. The dégradé hand-embroidery wasn’t just exquisite—it was the kind of detail that reminded us Pharrell knows exactly how to elevate a staple into a statement. Tiffany & Co. jewels completed his look.

vintage finesse

Callum Turner brought Jazz Age elegance to the modern day with a Louis Vuitton flared trouser and tailored jacket combo that felt straight out of a Harlem nightclub. The precision cut and fluid silhouette felt more like a glide than a walk—very on-theme, very on-point.

A classic tux with a cultured twist

Malcolm Washington’s Louis Vuitton tuxedo hit all the right notes of classic meets cultural homage. From British invention to American icon, the tuxedo has travelled—and this look leaned into that journey, closing the circle with LV Bubble loafers and a blue LV Speedy adding just enough flair to be unforgettable. A  Louis Vuitton Tambour Taiko Spin Time Air watch and the Destiny brooch from the Louis Vuitton High Jewelry Spirit collection completed his look.

The couple that slays together

Pharrell walked the carpet in a pearl-latticed Louis Vuitton jacket that felt part jazzman, part dandy dreamscape. Helen Lasichanh, never one to be left in the style dust, mirrored Lisa’s monogram moment in her own right with a leather body-hugging bodysuit and tights combo that balanced avant-garde with playfulness. Tiffany & Co. jewels completed their looks.

Together, this Louis Vuitton crew wasn’t just walking the Met carpet—they were strutting through centuries of style, reimagined by Pharrell through the lens of the Black dandy, streetwear, and exquisite French tailoring. This wasn’t just a collection of looks—it was a tailored revolution.
