Fashion at the Met Gala is always bold, sometimes bizarre — but this year, it took a turn no one saw coming.
At the 2025 Met Gala, which celebrates the most daring and imaginative styles in high fashion, a surprising number of celebrities showed up wearing… absolutely nothing from the waist down.
Yes, you read that right.
From male actors posing confidently in shirts and shoes only, to female stars in elegant tops paired with sky-high heels and statement accessories, the “no pants” trend became the biggest talking point of the night.
Some designers even encouraged it, calling it “a powerful statement against conformity and gender norms.” One A-lister was quoted saying backstage, “Why should we feel forced to cover every inch of our bodies just because tradition says so?”
But not everyone was impressed.
Critics called it inappropriate, attention-seeking, and even disrespectful to an event that’s supposed to celebrate craftsmanship and couture. Memes flooded social media. Late-night hosts had a field day. Some fans loved the rebellion — while others asked, “Where do we draw the line?”
Security reportedly had to ask one guest to put on trousers after walking around bare-legged for too long.
Despite the controversy, some attendees doubled down. One model posted on Instagram: “Freedom of expression shouldn’t have limits — especially at the Met Gala.”
Whether you loved it or hated it, one thing’s for sure — the 2025 Met Gala won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
