If you have not fantasized time and time again about what you’d wear to the Met Gala, we’re not the same. The 2025 event was one particularly worth dreaming about. The theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” gave room for the night’s attendees to step out in their best interpretations of Black dandyism, a historical fashion expression rooted in the reclamation of power that exact tailoring and formal dressing allowed for.
While you may not have secured an invite to the Gala this time around, there’s still time to live vicariously through one of the night’s actual attendees. And to envision what you might have donned (had Ms. Wintour granted you a spot on the 2025 guest list), we suggest starting with your zodiac sign.
You see, your sign says a lot about the aesthetics and messaging that speak to you—and in a year where basically every Met Gala look has a larger story to tell, it’s easy to connect them with the themes and energies of each of the 12 signs within the zodiac. So with that, let’s be a bit delusional! Here’s which 2025 Met Gala look represents you (and maybe looks a bit like something you might’ve worn), based on your sign.
Aries
Aries energy isn’t easy to ignore—it’s the type that can trigger strong reactions. And that’s exactly what Teyana Taylor’s unforgettable Marc Jabobs look did. The deep-red head-to-toe embodied fiery Aries energy to a tee, and she was also one of the first celebs to walk the carpet this year. As the sign at the beginning of the zodiac (and a competitive sign at that), Aries are all about coming first.
Taurus
Tauruses have a natural penchant for luxury, so this year’s theme of exact tailoring falls right in line with this earth sign’s default vibe. Zendaya’s Louis Vuitton getup stepped into the Superfine universe quite literally, with a sleek white look that’s just so quintessentially Taurus. Regal and reliable.
Gemini
There are simply no predictable Geminis. They move hard and fast through life, with a thirst for new experiences and knowledge. Colmon Domingo’s look(s), which had him do an unexpected mid-carpet outfit change, speak to Gemini duality and unpredictability perfectly.
Cancer
Cancer is strongly associated with themes like home and family. So this Ferragamo look, which draws inspiration from Ayo’s own Nigerian heritage, really captures the super Cancerian respect for lineage and tradition.
Leo
Leos don’t ask for your attention—they demand it. And if any look got our full attention, it was Andre 3000’s. Andre is no stranger to sharp tailoring, so this event’s theme isn’t a crazy departure for him. But lugging a grand piano around begs for your eyes in exactly the way Leo energy tends to.
Virgo
This earth sign is all about the details. Upon first glance, the quirks in the custom Christohper John Rogers look might not be immediately obvious, but the outfit’s bright buttons perfectly match the ones applied on her manicure. It’s the little things that count, and no one is more familiar with that fact than Virgos.
Libra
Libras are known for their people-pleasing tendencies, and were the people not pleased by Ms. Clairo in custom Valentino? The symmetry, structure, and frills are all very reminiscent of Libra’s classic, Venusian-inspired taste. These people are the most aesthetically driven ones out there.
Scorpio
Scorpios love nothing more than moving through life with mystery, and in this oversized look and dark shades (and with the grand reveal of another look later on in the night), this outfit was so reminiscent of the way Scorpios always keep people guessing. Even though Jenna is famously a Libra, it still adds up.
Sagittarius
Sag people always act like wild cards, and they love a little bit of boundary pushing. Sabrina Carpenter showing up pantless in Louis Vuitton does exactly that. This sign and standard procedure don’t mix.
Capricorn
A real Capricorn outfit marries function and fashion (anyone who knows one of these people should know they are the most practical ones around), and Lauryn’s bright-yellow look, which featured a handler who followed her down the carpet in a matching umbrella, seems to do that trick.
Aquarius
This air sign only knows how to go against the grain, and while Bad Bunny’s Prada look definitely pays homage to the night’s theme (and his native Puerto Rico), it was his accessories that caused a conversation. Those bright gloves grabbed fans’ attention for their uniqueness in a way that only an Aquarius can.
Pisces
Rihanna is the queen of the Met Gala—and also of all Pisces people everywhere. This dreamy, intuitive sign is honestly the epitome of mother energy. And what’s more motherly than debuting your pregnancy at this iconic event?
