The 2025 Met Gala delivered a night to remember—and one of its most unforgettable moments came courtesy of the legendary Diana Ross, who made a triumphant return to the event for the first time in over two decades.
Attending in honor of this year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” the music and fashion icon made a regal entrance in a white, floor-length, crystal-studded gown that shimmered across the navy-blue carpet. The dramatic ensemble, which Ross designed herself, was topped with a feather-boa-trimmed cape and a towering hat that crowned her signature curls.
In true Diana Ross fashion, the look was both glamorous and deeply personal—she revealed that the cape was embroidered with the names of her children and grandchildren. A team of handlers carefully helped her navigate the museum’s steps, but for a woman who’s defined diva status for decades, such grandeur felt only natural.
This appearance marked Ross’s first Met Gala since 2003, when she attended alongside Tom Ford during Gucci’s sponsorship of the event. Back then, she stunned in a fiery red satin gown with a flowing cape—proof that her sense of style has always been iconic and unmistakably hers.
This year’s gala also became a family celebration. Diana arrived with her son Evan Ross, while her daughter Tracee Ellis Ross was expected to join the evening’s festivities later.
With her grand return, Diana Ross reminded everyone what true star power looks like—timeless, elegant, and entirely her own.
