The Met Gala 2025 countdown is officially on, and stars are already arriving in New York to prepare. Who will nail the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” exhibition theme and the gala’s “tailored for you” dress code? Doechii, without a doubt.

The musician teased her upcoming appearance with an Instagram post captioned, “You ready?” just 48 hours before she hits the Met steps. In the playful shot, she strikes a pose mid-laugh, rocking a full Louis Vuitton tracksuit, a monogrammed towel, and three pieces of classic LV luggage—including a tennis racket.

It’s a stylish nod to the late, legendary André Leon Talley, perfectly recreating one of his iconic photos down to the accessories. She even shared the original image of ALT in her Instagram Stories for those who might’ve missed the reference.

This year’s Met Gala theme celebrates menswear and invites bold, creative interpretations. The exhibition explores how clothing and style have shaped Black identity across the Atlantic diaspora. André Leon Talley’s influence still looms large—his unforgettable Met Gala looks, from diamond brooches to dramatic capes, set the standard. Some of his wardrobe pieces, including a Patience Torlowei caftan and his beloved Louis Vuitton luggage, will be featured in the exhibition. As Anna Wintour once said, “André was a dandy among dandies, and he radiated joy.”

Doechii’s fashion moment makes perfect sense—after turning heads at Paris Fashion Week in Acne Studios, Chloé, and Schiaparelli, and being a longtime favorite of Thom Browne and Miu Miu, her Louis Vuitton homage feels just right. With stylist Sam Wolff and a top-tier glam team behind her, storytelling is key to her fashion journey. Met Gala 2025? No stress—she’s got this.

The excitement builds as we wait to see Doechii and countless other stars bring their looks to life on the first Monday in May.
