The 2025 Met Gala was quite dandy, dramatic and drippy, as this year’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style was a call for guests to think tailored drama, gender play, and all things to set the red carpet on fire. The who’s who of entertainment did just that by shutting the red carpet down while draped in the finest creations the fashion houses had to offer. While some celebs really popped out and showed us looks, others had us twisting our thumbs down as they served underwhelming looks. Let’s get into the looks that missed the mark.

Pharell Williams could have gave us little more especially serving as Co-chair of this year’s Met Gala. The famous producer played it safe with the pearl-detailed jacket but the pants should have been more complimentary with sequins or shimmer.

This is shocking since Venus always comes correct...but From her head down to her shoes...it was an absolute fail. The color was gorgeous but the Wicked 3000s was not it. The entire styling team missed the opportunity for Venus to fully arrive for The Met.

When fashion runs, Taraji P. Henson runs the opposite direction as she yet again, fails with her Met Gala carpet look. The creme tailored half suit with the gold grills looked like she was dressed for a special occasion scene for the “Sinners” movie.

In true Kimberly Kardashian, the reality star flew under the radar as she arrived in a sexy, black leather dress. Though the dress made a statement, it didn’t stand a chance compared to the color outfit that others were wearing.

LaLa Anthony never misses an opportunity to fall short on giving fans a real Met Gala fashion moment. The archived Virgil artifact will always have sentimental meaning, however the petticoat on the shoulder just didn’t land.

Alicia Keys alongside famed producer and husband, Swizz Beatz, didn’t meet us with nothing more than a Count Dracula inspired look. Alicia, what’s with the beads and the comforter shawl? This wasn’t it.

We are always going to root for the curvy girls who show up on the red carpet right, but Precious Lee decided to go left in her style choice for The Met Gala. She was superfine alright...for another event.

While we can appreciate African print being incorporated for The Met, but Lauri Cumbo this was just overboard with the cape and bedazzled shoulders. We love the motherland too but girl...too much.

Surprised to see Sha’Carri Richardson at The Met? Absolutely. Surprised that her attire was mess? Absolutely not. The two tone lace dress and stiletto nails were a complete let down for a major moment.

Mary J. Blige gave us a low effort with this three piece suit that failed to hold our attention. It felt more like a tour reject than a Met Gala moment. Not even the wired-brim hat could save the look. At least she let the thigh high boots chill at home.

Stanning for one of Houston, Texas finest, Megan Thee Stallion, is never challenge. The dress was absolutely gorgeous and our girl stepped out. However, the Old Hollywood glam was too safe and over played.

We love Deborah Roberts who is known for her great New York style. She showed off men’s shirt elements in her dress with the detailed cuffs on her wrist. But the outfit is missing more accessories and jewels to amplify the look.

Wicked star, Cynthia Erivo, brought her own edge to The Met but it fell short from the theme as the gothic gown just didn’t leave us inspired. While dramatic presence couldn’t be missed, the look was too dark compared to the vibrant, Superfine theme. Bold? Absolutely. On theme? Nah, not so much.
