Criticism for Sydney Sweeney’s Met Gala look exposed.
Sydney Sweeney hit the 2025 Met Gala carpet, but the reaction was underwhelming.
Key moments from 2025 Met Gala highlighted.
Halle Berry nearly broke the internet with a sheer, nude illusion dress, while Kim Kardashian took an actual tumble on the stairs.
Sources say Met security nearly stopped Halle for being “indecent”—but Wintour gave the green light at the last second.
Kim Kardashian stumbled near the top of the Met steps—her silver corseted gown reportedly so tight, she could barely walk.
Fans caught the clip, and TikTok exploded. “This dress is eating her alive,” one person commented.
Colman Domingo stunned in a lavender tailored suit with a silk train, while Janelle Monáe turned heads in a modern twist on 1920s dandyism.
When other celebs pulled from centuries of Black fashion, Sweeney’s look felt like a deleted scene from Euphoria.
Sydney’s personal life clarified.
Sweeney’s Met appearance comes just weeks after quietly ending her engagement to entrepreneur Jonathan Davino.
The split went public in March, though eagle-eyed fans noticed she’d ditched the engagement ring months before.
In April, the pair were seen at their Florida home, but insiders say it wasn’t romantic—and the ring was MIA.
Sydney’s 2025 Met Gala look described.
Wearing a custom Miu Miu gown with fringe sleeves and a chest cutout.
Her look was reportedly a nod to old Hollywood legend Kim Novak—but the subtle tribute flew over most heads.
Sweeney posted a black-and-white still from The Legend of Lylah Clare, teasing the reference, but the response was… crickets.
This year’s Met Gala theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, centered on Black dandyism from the 18th century to Harlem Renaissance vibes.
Attendees were told to embrace “Tailored For You,” a style meant to blend personal identity with the bold legacy of menswear fashion.
Sweeney will portray Kim Novak in Scandalous, a film exploring Novak’s secret romance with singer Sammy Davis Jr.
The project marks Domingo’s directorial debut, and yes—he also happened to be one of this year’s Met Gala co-chairs.
On a night celebrating Black fashion history, a safe black dress with fringe didn’t exactly scream tribute—or effort.
Reactions to Sydney’s look unveiled.
Sweeney’s look was quickly dismissed as “flat” and “lazy.”
Despite the sparkle, critics on X lit her up for looking “boring” and “not on theme”—two unforgivable sins on fashion’s wildest night.
“Pretty, but the theme is where?” one user wrote, summing up the collective side-eye from the fashion world.
“She stopped reading after ‘black,’” one viewer joked, while another added, “I know she thought the theme was just the color.”
Compared to daring looks from her peers, Sweeney’s appearance felt more “funeral chic” than “fashion-forward revolution.”
Critics pointed out that while Novak was iconic, the nod didn’t reflect the Black tailoring history at the core of the theme.
“Sad girl glam doesn’t work at the Met,” one person quipped. “It’s giving breakup, not tailoring.”
In a sea of bold interpretations, her Miu Miu look was described as “a wet blanket with sequins.”
Though her makeup was flawless, fashion lovers were quick to say: “It’s giving prom, not Met.”
Looking “pretty” isn’t enough at the Met Gala. You need a story, a statement, and a little shock value.
“Playing Kim Novak and still not understanding theme context is wild,” wrote one disappointed viewer.
This year’s Met was one for the books.
From almost-naked dresses to near face-plants, the night was heavy on chaos—and light on subtlety.
The 2025 Met Gala felt like a crossover between Project Runway and The Real Housewives of Manhattan.
Whether it was Halle Berry showing skin or Kim Kardashian eating carpet, the Met gave us everything—except chill.
In a sea of viral moments, sometimes being “boring” is the worst look of all.
