Top 23 Looks that Hijacked Our Groom Mood Board at the 2025 Met Gala.

Just 11 days ago, the Met Gala happened, and let’s be honest, it was fabulous.

A grooming masterclass. A slap in the face to the basic black tux.

This year’s theme? Black Dandyism. A nod to style that predates the Met Gala itself (held for the first time in 1948), ripped straight from the pages of Slaves to Fashion by Monica Miller. Think 1920s Harlem Renaissance—but louder, shinier, and with better lighting. It turned the Gala into its highest-grossing event ever. And rightfully so. Between the looks and the beauty flexes, the carpet didn’t just serve—it devoured.

Let’s talk about Teyana Taylor opening up the red carpet with sideburns slicked into Josephine Baker-style finger waves and eyeliner so dark it looked like it had a grudge. Pharrell—who clearly drinks vampire blood to stay youthful—glided in like a dandy war general, gold fronts flashing and that signature smirk letting us know he knew he nailed it.

And then came Diana Ross floated in like a style deity—white gown billowing, face beat to match her legend status: violet-toned lips, blush and eyeshadow all blended like a dream, jet-black curls framing a literal crystal on her forehead. Spiritual? Maybe. Legendary? Definitely.

From Tessa Thompson’s buzzcut beauty to Janelle Monáe playing 4D chess with optical illusions, the grooming this year didn’t whisper—it yelled.


Here are the 23 looks that stole our breath, our edges, and most importantly, our entire groom mood board.
