Should Chanel launch menswear? And other queries from the 2025 Met Gala

13 May 2025

By now, your feed has been flooded with photos from the 2025 Met Gala. You might have seen that Diana Ross walked the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the first time since 2003, and that Zendaya, who walked right behind her, looked fabulous in a white three-piece Louis Vuitton suit inspired by Bianca Jagger’s tailored wedding style. What you might have missed was that it was designed by Pharrell Williams, a co-chair at this year’s festivities, under his post as artistic director of menswear at Louis Vuitton. He also designed the looks seen on Sabrina Carpenter and Lisa as well as Jeremy Allen White? Chanel, too, reached across the aisle to dress some very stylish… men.
