Chappell Roan walked the Met Gala red carpet in a pink outfit
One of the five celebrity artists from the viral Met Gala selfie - Chappell Roan - made her debut appearance at the Met Gala this week, for which she was dressed in a pink ensemble.
The Pink Pony Club singer walked the Met Gala's red carpet in a large, patterned hat paired with a hot pink cape with a sweeping train decked in magenta tinsel.
However, once inside the museum, Roan lost the cape and revealed a matching two piece, featuring a pink blazer and bell bottoms slit from the center.
To accessorize her outfit, Chappell Roan wore brown, bejeweled boots and added curls in her voluminous hairstyle, completed with bangs.
Her makeup was done by Pat McGrath Labs, who described it as "maximalist, metallic, and made to move," adding:
"For Chappell, we were channeling the glamour and freedom of the disco era—think Sylvester, Superfly, superfine tailoring, and unapologetic shine."
Among other star attendees who walked the red carpet with dramatic trains were Diana Ross in her white, feather-lined cape, Serena Williams in her tiered mint cape, Megan Thee Stallion in her fur cape, Shakira in her billowing bubblegum pink skirt, Teyana Taylor in her custom Ruth E.
Carter cape, and Savannah James in her flowing mermaid skirt.
The theme of the 2025 Met Gala is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, which explores the history of Black dandyism and inspired the 2025 spring exhibition of the same name.
