Last week, the stars not only showed up, but also participated in the Met Gala. From supporting loved ones to launching new projects to cleverly teasing their own Met Gala moodboards, celebrities stepped out in the most gorgeous outfits of the season. They were all about bold silhouettes, luxurious fabrics, and accessories that were more than accidental. In fact, each outfit told a story, and fashion lovers around the world were mesmerized.
While we witnessed stunning moments at high-end events such as the Tiffany Charity Gala in previous weeks, the latest lineup proved that glamour doesn’t just shine on the red carpet. The gorgeous outfits sparkled at book launches, movie premieres, charity galas, and even on the streets of New York. The result? A visual feast of bright colors, unexpected prints, and stunning silhouettes. Let’s take a closer look at these truly stunning fashionistas.
Beyoncé naturally led the trend. The multi-faceted style icon attended the launch of her mother Tina Knowles’ new book, Matriarch, wearing a futuristic-meets-feminine look from Casey Cadwallader’s farewell collection for Mugler.
Her sculptural skirt suit – with exaggerated hips, pointed shoulders and inverted lapels – reinterpreted modern tailoring with bold precision. Paired with Mugler’s sleek Fang bag and angular platform heels in polka-dot grey fabric, the look was more than just a fashion statement. It was a powerful nod to the history of couture, combined with Beyoncé’s signature drama and elegance.
Meanwhile, Kerry Washington stole the show at the New York premiere of the film Dark Power, where she captured the hearts of the crowd with her powerful presence. She wore a striking Prada two-piece suit, with a chartreuse beaded top and floor-length skirt, effortlessly combining energy and elegance. The look was finished with a clutch and strappy sandals, adding sophistication and drama. It was a masterclass in how to combine glam and style.
Not to be outdone, Teyana Taylor reinvented the trench coat look at The King’s Trust Global Gala. She wore a striking zebra-print coat from David Koma’s Resort 2025 collection, paired with a cape-style outerwear, bringing out the drama of high fashion.
Around her waist was a surreal Schiaparelli belt embellished with golden nipples, snails and teeth – why not turn fashion into art? Paired with two-tone boots, this look was not only eye-catching, but crowd-pleasing and trend-setting.
