It’s not a real New York night out until Madonna has made her presence known, and the Material Girl herself made her typical splash at the 2025 Met Gala on Monday night in a cream Tom Ford double-breasted tuxedo that was perfectly in keeping with the night s “Tailored For You” dress code. Madonna’s suit jacket was accentuated by a pair of pleated trousers and a crisp white piqué plastron shirt with a wing-tipped collar and a single gardenia at her lapel—and to be honest, I’m kind of wondering if this look should inspire us all to make this the summer of the white suit. (Or is that too Tom Wolfe?)
This isn’t Madonna’s first time setting trends on the Met Gala red carpet, of course. Whether she’s accompanying her longtime collaborator Jean Paul Gaultier in a gorgeously Goth crown of crosses, or getting a little punk with it in a studded tartan blazer courtesy of former Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci, the 66-year-old musician, actress, and mom of four always understands the assignment.
Madonna did famously sing at the 2018 Met Gala, covering Leonard Cohen’s 1984 song “Hallelujah” while perched on the Met stairs (and then treating the audience to a first look at her then-new song “Beautiful Game”). While it doesn’t appear we’re in for a repeat Madonna performance this time around, at least we can all appreciate her flawless commitment to the suiting theme.
