Outfit Check Met Gala Edition: Best Dressed Rising Stars of the Week
The Met Gala might be over but we will certainly hold onto the outfits for a bit longer. Here are the four best dressed rising stars attending the event.
For her Met Gala appearance, the actress worked closely with Ferragamo’s creative director, Maximilian Davis to create a look which would pay tribute to her roots, especially the dandies within her family.
She wore a white maxi shirt dress accentuated with red glass beads and a black leather tailcoat to finish the whole look.
The glass beads were a particularly meaningful detail as they imitated coral embellishments, which can be found on traditional Nigerian clothing often worn by Edebiri’s father.
Apart from wearing a custom design by rising fashion talent 
Grace Wales Bonner for the event, a lot of attention was paid to Apollo’s hair at the 2025 Met Gala as the musician debuted a brand new bright yellow highlights.
The bespoke design featured a signature leopard print motif crafted using hand-embroidered glass beads and Swarovski crystals. The look was completed with a wool-mohair tailcoat and ponyhair opera boots made in collaboration with 
Manolo Blahnik.
It was the singer’s first Met Gala experience this year. And for the fashion’s biggest night out, she collaborated with Valentino on a full custom look, including the outfit, and the makeup.
She wore a black drop-waist floor-length skirt with three-layered flounces in pleated taffeta, a grey bustier jacket with bows, and a black lace bodysuit.
But the main star of the night was definitely her cat-shaped purse which kind of gave that iconic SATC scene vibes, didn’t it?
It’s fair to say that the rising star musician made an absolutely iconic debut at the 2025 Met Gala. She wore a cream and white ensemble by Indian designer 
Manish Malhotra.
The full-embroidered look featured a long-sleeve coat with sharp lapels and coordinated trousers, adorned with ornate floral embroidery and intricate beadwork. The coat cinched at the waist and flowed into a dramatic train.
Needless to mention the “anaconda”-length braid which was just the cherry on top of this outfit.
