Watches of the 2025 MET Gala: Who Wore What
The 2025 Met Gala – themed "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" – was a vibrant tribute to Black history, culture, and fashion. But it was the watches on the wrists that quietly stole the spotlight.
The 2025 Met Gala was a celebration of Black style, history, and culture – and the red carpet delivered. Celebrities paid homage to Black dandyism and iconic figures through bold, tailored looks: think theatrical suits, exaggerated silhouettes, and fresh, modern spins on classic tailoring. This year, watches played a bigger role than ever – integrated into outfits and styled with intention. Some were subtly tucked under cuffs, others were boldly built into the outfits themselves.
We rounded up our favorite Wristchecks (or should we say #Timechecks?) from this year’s Gala.
Janelle Monáe
