Once a year, the stars align, quite literally, turning New York City into a runway and the Met Museum into fashion’s Mecca. It is not just a gala but a grand pilgrimage to the altar of couture, where headlines are sewn in sequins and drama drips from every hemline. The Met Gala is a place where A-listers arrive armed with couture arsenal, ready to slay, stun, and occasionally stir the pot. But this year, ‘It’ couples have overshadowed the slay parade of soloists. Think Dua Lipa and Cullum Turner giving romance a runway or Pharrell Williams and Helen Lasichanh proving that couple coordination is still couture.
By the looks, the 2025 Met Gala is all about power pairings where the real accessory is a partner-in-style.
From Dua Lipa-Callum Turner to Pharrell Williams-Helen Lasichanh, ‘It’ couples turn heads at the Met Gala 2025
The coattails that have walked the Met Gala 2025 are not just for show. It carries love, legacy, and label heat. Amidst the slay speculations and all-consuming couture theories, Dua Lipa dropped jaws in Chanel as the pop star made her Met Gala debut as a couple with actor Callum Turner.
And in tow followed another couture couple, Spike Lee
and Tonya Lewis Lee
. While the Met saw a lot of color in the monochromes, Pharrell Williams sported “pinstripe pearls”
in Louis Vuitton alongside Helen Lasichanh.

Gabrielle Union walked the blue carpet in Prada with Dw
ayne Wade, and the pair competed in a monochromatic look-at-me league. The celebrity catwalk party also saw Simon Biles
and Jonathan Owen
reek of royalty ahead of the wedding anniversary, and James Corden
and Julia Carey
cashed in on the opposites-attract trend in black and white. Debbie Allen
and Norm Nixon
wore Paul Tazewell labels, and according to E! News, the costume
is inspired by Denzel Washington in Othello.

Fashion is all about excellence in color theory. But celebrities fell back on Cupid theory when the Met Gala pulled a blanket on colors. Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas attended the 2025 Met Gala reeling in vintage high-waist trousers and polka dots. Raul and co-chair Colman Domingo flaunted perfectly tailored suits, one filled with violet glitter and another in polka dots and plaids.

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats doubled down on stripes with perfectly tailored red, black, and maroon contrasts, while Nessa and Colin Kaepernick showed up on the red carpet straight out of a fairytale in a corset-gown and cape-detailed tuxedo. Lastly, Adrien Brody and Georgina Chapman crossed the fence of fashion’s biggest night in 50 fashionable shades of black, and safe to say, it was a couture spell no one could overlook.
