- The 2025 Met Gala took place in New York City on Monday.
- Billionaires pulled up to the year's biggest fashion event in tailored, monochrome outfits.
- Here are our picks for the best — and worst — billionaire outfits this year.
The Met Gala, arguably the biggest fashion event of the year, took place on Monday, and its A-list guests came dressed to impress.
Several billionaires attended the annual fundraiser event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
This year's theme was "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," and the dress code was "Tailored for You."
In a sea of menswear-inspired outfits, some attendees stood out for the right — and wrong — reasons.
Here are the outfits we thought nailed the theme, and those that missed the mark.

Wendi Murdoch, entrepreneur and ex-wife of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, dazzled at the Met Gala with her daughter, Grace. They both wore fitted white ensembles.
Wendi's two-piece set featured gold embroidery and a high collar reminiscent of a Chinese Qipao. She completed the look with white lace-up boots, a white bag, and a gold headpiece.
Grace's look was simpler — a tight-fitted blazer-top, a pleated skirt, a feather brooch, and a white handbag.

Norwegian billionaire Gustav Witzoe arrived in an all-white ensemble and a clear briefcase that appeared to be filled with rose petals.
The sheer blazer-cape hybrid trailed behind him, and his look was topped off with accessories, including a white cowboy hat, boots, and gold jewelry.
The outfit looked a tad more whimsical than we would have liked.

Billionaire investor John A. Pritzker and his wife, Mo Pritzker, arrived in matching full-black outfits.
John Pritzker's ultra-simple black tuxedo and tie combination seemed out of place at the fashion-forward Met.
He was also thoroughly overshadowed by Mo Pritzker, who wore a long, bedazzled blazer paired with a flared black tulle skirt.

Filmmaker and philanthropist billionaire George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, chairman of Starbucks' board of directors, came to the gala in vastly different suits.
Hobson's gray tweed suit sparkled as she walked, and she was blinged out with bejeweled brooches and chains.
Her husband, however, kept it as simple as possible in a no-frills navy-blue suit, which would look more at home on Wall Street than at the Met.

Businesswoman and media personality Kim Kardashian stuck to her wardrobe of tight-fitting pieces. She also kept to her usual corseted silhouette, which she has sported at almost every Met Gala of late.
She wore a leather-textured two-piece set. The top had a low-cut sweetheart neckline and a corset shape, and featured an open back secured with a belt clasp.
She accessorized with diamond necklaces, earrings, chains, and rings, and sported a black top hat.
The outfit fit the theme, but felt unimaginative.

Billionaire designer Tory Burch wore a simple white maxi dress to this year's gala. She layered it with black beaded chains, which gave the outfit a spiderweb-esque look.
She kept the rest of the outfit simple with a black and white handbag and diamond earrings.
The outfit did not lean into the "tailored" theme too heavily.

Australian billionaire businessman Anthony Pratt was a sight to behold, standing out from the mass of black and white-clad crowd in his funky bright green suit.
The suit had the reuse-reduce-recycling logo stamped all over it. He accessorized it with a dark green bowler hat and a walking cane.
Our biggest qualm was the running shoes he wore under the suit.
