Gigi Hadid and Sydney Sweeney Wear Vintage Miu Miu to the 2025 Met Gala: Whose Look Stole the Show?
The 2025 Met Gala, held on Monday, May 5th, wowed the fashion world by commemorating the opening of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” an exhibition inspired by Black dandyism and its impact on fashion at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, which included notable celebrities such as Gigi Hadid and Sydney Sweeney.
Gigi Hadid and Sydney Sweeney, two well-known beauty icons, arrived at the 2025 Met Gala looking stunning in special vintage Miu Miu sequin-embellished gowns that allowed them to shine in the spotlight, complemented the theme, and paid homage to fashion legends such as Kim Novak, Joan Crawford, and Josephine Baker.
Let’s begin with Gigi Hadid’s fashion moments at the 2025 Met Gala, where she was dressed by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson in a vintage Miu Miu gown inspired by Josephine Baker.
She appeared at the Met Gala in a breathtaking Miu Miu gold sleeveless velvet evening gown, showcasing her ability to command the stage while paying homage to classic beauty.

The gown had a backless wrap-around halter neck decorated with sparkling crystal embroidery and a floor-length skirt that swung and shimmered beneath the gala lights. The dress also had a ruched metallic lamé gold bowtie at the waist, which led to an impressive flared back train.
Gigi Hadid, a 30-year-old fashion supermodel, paired her vintage Miu Miu dress inspired by Josephine Baker with gold leather slingbacks, a Miu Miu Wander Matelassé satin clutch bag, and De Beers accessories inspired by their The Alchemist of Light High Jewellery collection to make it shine even brighter and stand out.
They included “Light Rays Chandelier” titanium and black rhodium-plated gold fringe earrings with over 7 carats of dazzling diamonds, as well as the “Double Crown” ring with over 8 carats, featuring a stunning fancy deep brown-yellow kite-shaped diamond, framed by two rough yellow diamonds that elegantly complemented her overall look.

Sydney Sweeney’s vintage Miu Miu gown was inspired by classic looks worn by Joan Crawford in 1937’s “The Bride Wore Red” and Kim Novak in 1968’s “The Legend of Lylah Clare.”
The gown featured a stunning short-sleeved top with beaded tassel fringe, a round neckline, and a daring keyhole cutout embellished with crystals. Her gorgeous gown also dropped to the floor, displaying a long back train that trailed gently behind her.
Sydney Sweeney, a “Madame Web” actress, paired her classy vintage Miu Miu dress with black satin platform heels, a Miu Miu black Duchesse purse, and De Beers accessories like a rosette gold brooch fastened at the neck, studs and earrings inspired by the brand’s Drops of Light collection, and a bespoke Solitaire ring that elevated her look, radiating elegance and charisma.
