Met 2025: Andre 3000 wears an entire piano on his back and holds a garbage bag in hand; fans think it is 'iconic'
At the Met Gala 2025, Andre 3000 stunned in a Burberry look featuring a piano strapped to his back and a garbage bag in his hand. The outfit referenced his surprise EP 7 Piano Sketches, sparking viral reactions; see here.
The Met Gala 2025 is here, and so is the iconic and bizarre series of outfits by celebrities. Most of the people opted for an attention-grabbing hat as their first choice of Met Gala accessory, but this year, Andre 3000 chose something more unique.
The OutKast rapper did wear an eye-catching chapeau (and a look by Burberry); however, this was hardly a thing that people noticed in his outfit.
The most striking thing that people noticed was his entire piano strapped to his back and a garbage bag in his hand.

Context behind Andre 3000's outfit
The outfit has a context behind it. Andre stepped out onto the carpet just a few minutes after he surprised fans with a new project, which is a 16-minute EP called 7 Piano Sketches.
The cover depicts an illustrated version of the musician with a piano strapped to his back. Moreover, the artist wrote on his Instagram, "These piano sketches are improvisations. To conjure them up, I spread my fingers out on the keys and randomly but with purpose move them around until I find something that feels good or interesting."
"¡°If it feels really good I will try to repeat it. I cannot name which notes, keys, or chords that I¡¯m playing. I simply like the sound and mechanics of piano playing," it added.
