Fashion’s grandest stage – the Met Gala – has long been the playground for daring creativity and style reinvention. Yet, the 2025 edition was particularly momentous for menswear. The theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, invited gents from across music, film, and sport to embrace sartorial freedom, delivering bold, joyful, and exquisitely tailored masterpieces.
For grooms looking to elevate their wedding day attire, there is no richer source of inspiration. From lace details to rich velvet finishes, the red carpet was an education in how to make a statement while still honouring timeless elegance. Here, Previdar Weddings curates the finest suits from the 2025 Met Gala – and how they could work brilliantly for your own “I do” moment.
