Charli XCX turned heads at the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” on May 5, 2025, in New York City. Marking her third Met Gala appearance, the pop icon embraced the evening’s theme by donning a custom Ann Demeulemeester by Stefano Gallici look that perfectly melded refined menswear tailoring with gothic flair. Her ensemble featured a sharply tailored black blazer paired with a sheer, high-necked skirt that flowed into a dramatic long trail, accented by over‑the‑knee boots and a sculptural feathered hairpiece, evoking a literal and poetic nod to dandyism.
Charli’s daring interpretation of the “Tailored for You” dress code not only paid homage to the historical narrative of Black dandyism but also redefined red‑carpet innovation—pushing boundaries and challenging conventional gender norms in high fashion. With understated bronzed makeup and an edgy yet polished hairstyle, her look sparked conversations about the fusion of classic tailoring with avant‑garde elements.
