Met Gala 2025: Doechii Arrives In Massive White Box Before Walking Red Carpet

Doechii took extraordinary measures to make sure her Met Gala look stayed under wraps until she made it onto the red carpet.

The Grammy-winning rapper and all-round woman of the hour made her Met Ball debut on Monday night, sporting a head-to-toe Louis Vuitton look that was undoubtedly one of the night’s stand-outs.

In order to get there, though, she had to bypass all of the photographers waiting outside of her hotel. And to do that, her team had to think a little outside of the box.

Or, in this, case, inside.

You see, in footage widely shared online in the hours before the Met Gala, Doechii was seen leaving her hotel flanked by an enormous white box on top of a luggage trolley, complete with a four or five umbrellas forming a makeshift room to ensure no one took her picture.

Footage of Doechii leaving her hotel has already racked up tens of thousands of views on X… and we’re pretty sure we’re responsible for at least half of that.

She wasn’t the only one trying to keep her outfit a secret, though.

Right before she made it onto the red carpet, Sabrina Carpenter was seen leaving her hotel in an absolutely enormous fur coat, to conceal the outfit underneath.

Like Doechii, Sabrina also wore Louis Vuitton to this year’s Met Ball, which had a “tailored for you” theme in a nod to the Metropolitan Museum Of Art’s new Costume Institute exhibit titled Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.

The Espresso singer wound up wearing a tailored brown blazer with train detail and, effectively, no bottoms, after claiming that Met Gala co-chair Pharrell Williams told her she was too “short” to incorporate trousers into her tailored look.
