Rosalía Turns Heads in Mannequin-Inspired Gown at Met Gala 2025

Rosalía arrived to the 2025 Met Gala carpet in a Balmain sculptural bodice that perfectly accentuated her curves—a look that was fully-inspired by a Stockman mannequin.

“It was made to measure. I wanted to start with the mannequin, that’s the base for every suit,” Olivier Rousteing, creative director at Balmain, said to Vogue about dressing Roslía. “Obviously, she’s iconic, she’s a friend, she’s someone that I love. She’s a muse, she’s inspiration, so I wanted to go to the beginning of the creation, which is [the] mannequin.”

“First time I feel like a mannequin, I love that, and to honor Olivier Rousteing’s talent,” the Spanish singer-songwriter expressed.

The singer also shared her excitement about working on Euphoria. “I’m learning, figuring it out. I’m trying to not forget my line,” she laughed. “It’s been really inspiring to be besides these amazing actors and actresses. I’m having fun, trying to play around, and improvise.”

Held at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, this year’s Met Gala celebrated the theme of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. The official dress code is “Tailored for You,” a nod to the spring 2025 exhibition’s focus on menswear and is “purposefully designed to provide guidance and invite creative interpretation,” according to Vogue.

Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton served as co-chairs, while LeBron James served as honorary chair. Tyla, Doechii, André 3000, Usher, Janelle Monáe and more also served as members of the costume institute benefit host committee. Other artists who attended the Met Gala 2025 were Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, LISA, Diana Ross, JENNIE and Dua Lipa.
