Doechii made her grand Met Gala debut on May 5, 2025, fully immersing herself in the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” For her inaugural appearance, she collaborated with Louis Vuitton and Pharrell Williams—a duo dedicated to celebrating Black dandyism through precise, artful tailoring—in a look that effortlessly bridged street edge with sartorial tradition.
Her ensemble was a masterful reinterpretation of traditional tailoring. Doechii donned a cropped, monogrammed Louis Vuitton blazer paired with tailored shorts emblazoned in the brand’s signature Damier print. Underneath, a crisp white button-up served as a clean canvas, while bold accents like a maroon bow tie, matching calf-length socks, and buckled Mary Jane shoes provided a vibrant contrast. In a daring twist, she even stamped the Louis Vuitton logo on her face, a statement detail that underscored her unapologetic embrace of the brand’s identity and the evening’s thematic narrative. In conversation with Vogue livestream co-hosts, she mentioned how the look was inspired by deeper explorations of Black dandyism—drawing on references such as Monica L. Miller’s influential 2009 work on the subject—thus aligning her personal style with a broader cultural dialogue about Black heritage and reinvented modernity.
