Met Gala 2025 had a clear theme, but not everyone followed the script. Some celebs ignored sharp tailoring and suiting vibes. Instead, they showed up in looks that broke the rules — some in a good way, others leaving us confused. These 10 disruptors definitely did their own thing.
1. Shakira

2. Kim Kardashian
Embed from Getty ImagesKim brought biker energy in crocodile-embossed leather and a sculpted corset. Structured, yes — but more about attitude than honoring traditional suiting. A personal twist that drifted far from the custom fit brief.
3. Lisa
Embed from Getty ImagesLisa’s Louis Vuitton look sparked plenty of opinions. Featuring embroidered undergarments and edgy accessories, it felt more experimental than elegant. While artistic, it disconnected from the menswear focus.
4. Georgina Rodríguez
Embed from Getty ImagesGeorgina made her debut by skipping tailoring entirely. A lingerie-inspired black dress and a Vetements logo tattoo took the vibe into clubwear territory. The look was daring but had zero connection to the night’s concept.
5. Natasha Lyonne
Embed from Getty ImagesNatasha’s lavender McQueen gown came with volume and romance, trading crisp cuts for softer shapes. Definitely a departure from fitted designs, but it worked in a whimsical, off-theme way.
6. Vittoria Ceretti
Embed from Getty ImagesVittoria reimagined tailoring with a Moncler corseted dress and sweeping cape. While not typical suiting, it nodded to structured design — bending the rules while still playing in the same arena.
7. Simone Biles
Embed from Getty ImagesSimone’s shiny blue mini was cute and carefree but missed the Met Gala dress code entirely. The silhouette leaned more party-ready than precision-cut, landing far from the night’s intended aesthetic.
8. Gabby Thomas
Embed from Getty ImagesGabby blended ideas with a red off-the-shoulder gown that featured a waistcoat touch. It wasn’t a classic crisp ensemble, but it nodded to suiting through small, thoughtful details.
9. Jessica Kayll
Embed from Getty ImagesJessica combined old-school menswear with whimsical florals and ruffles. Less about sharp tailoring, more about playful disruption — her look flipped the script while hinting at suiting roots.
10. Natasha Poonawalla
Embed from Getty ImagesNatasha transformed vintage saris into a corset and fishtail skirt. No classic suiting here, but plenty of structure and expert craftsmanship. Her look merged global fashion with gala-level silhouette play.
Some went totally off-theme, others creatively pushed the boundaries. Whether tasteful, controversial, or simply confusing — these women disrupted the 2025 Met Gala dress code in ways that got people talking.
