Stop the presses! A rare Lauryn Hill sighting had everyone talking at the 2025 Met Gala tonight. The iconic singer brought a dash of sunshine to the proceedings in her sculptural yellow double-breasted suit. Paying homage to the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme—which shone a spotlight on Black dandyism and tailoring—Hill chose a modern Stella McCartney suit look that was dramatic, very much avant-garde, and totally on point. Her traditional shirt and tie? 10 out of 10—no notes.

Her choice of bag, meanwhile, was a total showstopper. Hill carried around a classic (and very luxurious) Hermès Kelly bag in cerulean blue—the ultimate status bag—that offered the perfect pop of color to her look. A big Kelly in such a covetable color? It’s almost as rare as a splashy red-carpet appearance from Hill herself! Now, Siri, please play “Killing Me Softly”—because she was one of the most iconic divas of the night.
