At the 2025 Met Gala celebrating “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” on May 5 in New York, Sarah Snook emerged as a vision of gothic romance fused with impeccably refined menswear aesthetics. Embracing the theme with a nod to both old-world elegance and modern audacity, the Australian actress stunned in a custom look by anOnlyChild. Her ensemble featured a sharply tailored black satin coat—lined in a subtle red hue with pronounced peak lapels and a gathered back—that evoked the spirit of a 19th‑century portrait reimagined for today’s avant‑garde stage.
Paired with a silk gazar shirt and matching satin tuxedo trousers, her outfit played with masculine tailoring elements while exuding feminine grace. Statement brooches by Rahaminov Diamonds and Saidian Vintage Jewels added an opulent touch, delivering a refined nod to the era of dandyism central to this year’s theme. With a dramatic, smokey makeup look and soft, tousled hair that lent an air of effortless modernity, Snook’s appearance managed to be both timeless and daringly contemporary.
Sarah Snook’s fearless reinterpretation of classic tailoring into a bespoke, gender‐fluid narrative not only honored the rich heritage of Black style but also showcased her personal evolution as an artist known for her transformative roles.
