New York [US] : Cardi B turned heads at the Met Gala 2025, proving that tailored suits can be just as show-stopping as couture gowns. The Grammy-winning rapper made a bold statement on the red carpet in a custom green suit designed by Daniel Lee for Burberry, perfectly aligned with the event’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.
The ivy-colored ensemble featured a silk devoré shirt with ruffled detailing, paired with green velvet trousers and a coordinating tailored coat. Drawing inspiration from Victorian fashion and corsetry, the outfit included a striking circular cutout in the back, revealing Cardi B’s signature floral tattoos.
Daniel Lee described the design as a “tailored, feminine dandy” look, crafted to reflect Cardi B’s bold personality and refined style. Her confident embrace of suiting redefined red carpet expectations, bringing fresh energy to Met Gala fashion.
This marks Cardi B’s sixth appearance at the Met Gala, with past ensembles ranging from a jewel-studded Moschino gown in 2018 to a dramatic black creation in 2024. Her 2025 look continues to showcase her evolution and fearless approach to style.
The annual fashion event celebrated the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, which delves into the legacy of dandyism and its influence on Black fashion from the 18th century onward. The dress code, Tailored for You, invited guests to reimagine traditional tailoring with creativity and flair.
