Okay, so you didn’t get invited to the Met Gala. (Rude.) Neither did we. But if you're as Met-obsessed as we are, you already know this year was one for the fashion history books - literally. Inspired by Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, the 2025 theme Tailored for You celebrates the art of suiting, the power of personal style, and the long-standing role of tailoring in shaping Black identity, creativity, and cultural expression.

And honestly? We’re here for all of it. Because if there’s one thing we love as much as judging Met outfits from our desks, it’s a sharp silhouette and tailoring that knows how to command a room.
So no Met-Gala invite? No worries. That doesn't mean you can’t dress like you might be going (or like you just left for the afterparty with Doechii and a centerpiece tucked under your arm).
1. The Power Suit Rework
Bellamy Blazer + Penelope Pants
The ivory power suit takes centre stage this year. Taking cues from Zendaya’s effortlessly chic set and Imaan Hammam’s bold, cinched tailoring, this look delivers the perfect blend of sharp lines and feminine elegance. Accented with gold hardware for just the right amount of flair, it’s the kind of suiting that turns every head in the room. (Bonus points for a dramatic hat moment - we’re obsessed).

3. Anything but Boring
Jameson Cinched Suiting Blazer + Jameson Pleated Wide Leg Pants
Suiting doesn’t have to be predictable. Inspired by Lupita Nyong’o’s unforgettable blue moment, the Jameson Set delivers the best of both worlds - sharp tailoring in a silhouette that still knows how to have fun. Bold color, confident lines, and made for making entrances (cape optional, but highly encouraged).

4. The Perfect Outer-Layer
Bec Faux Leather Trench Coat With Faux Fur & Deborah Faux Leather Coat
For when you need a piece that does all the introductions for you. Crimson red has had a serious moment this year - think Jodie Turner-Smith’s sculptural statement, Burna Boy’s crimson suiting, and Teyana Taylor’s jaw-dropping, bold red cape - intense, commanding, and undeniably unforgettable. Our cherry faux-leather channels that same unapologetic energy, with a sleek silhouette and high-impact shine that turns any sidewalk into your own red carpet — blending in is never an option.

5. Suiting Reimagined
Dorian Fitted Shirt Mini Dress & Annita Crepe Halter Midi Dress
For when you want to nod to tailoring without committing to the full suit. Think sharp lines with relaxed proportions, like Suki Waterhouse’s ability to balance structured suiting with feminine elegance, or Hailey Bieber’s effortless polish in one piece — structured enough to make an impact, soft enough to move in.
So we just missed the elusive Met Gala invite (next year’s our year), but the red carpet energy is always within reach. Alike the bold suiting of the 2025 Met, MESHKI’s tailoring celebrates strength, sharp lines and the confidence to wear it like you mean it — no invite required.
