Diana Ross Stole the Show
The 2025 Met Gala red carpet is underway, and it looks like we have a contender for best dressed — and best hat — of the night: the one and only Diana Ross. It’s been 22 years since Ross last graced the event with her presence, and she made sure to step out for this year’s gala celebrating Black Dandyism.
Ross wore a showstopping beaded white gown with a matching fluffy hat and an 18-foot train that took a horde of men to hoist up the steps. She revealed that the train had the names of her five children (Rhonda, Tracee, Chudney, Ross, and Evan) and her eight grandchildren (Raif, Callaway, Everlee, Leif, Indigo, Jagger, Bronx, and Ziggy) embroidered inside. According to Vogue, the look was a collaboration between her, her son Evan Ross, and Nigerian designer Ugo Mozie.
“It was not a plan,” she told Vogue of her attendance, adding that “everything was really, really last-moment.” Well, it sure doesn’t look like it. Ross said her son, Evan, who appeared on the carpet with her, persuaded her to attend tonight. (Her daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross, arrived later in an equally compelling pink ensemble.) “She’s the best thing of all time,” Evan said of his mom. “She is the Met Ball.” Hard agree.
