Sydney Sweeney and Gigi Hadid sparkle at Met Gala 2025, but fans say they missed the mark on theme: 'Expected more'
Sydney Sweeney and Gigi Hadid wowed onlookers with their glamorous red carpet looks at the 2025 Met Gala. While both stars looked stunning, fans were divided, saying their outfits didn¡¯t reflect the event's theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.
The Met Gala 2025 lit up the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the first Monday in May, bringing together celebrities from all corners of entertainment. This year's theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, focused on the history and artistry of Black fashion and tailoring. Sydney Sweeney and Gigi Hadid's looks were revealed early on, and while the stars came dressed to impress, fans were disappointed that they did not stuck to the theme.

Sydney Sweeney was the first to arrive on the blue carpet, making a bold entrance in a stunning black gown. Her dress was fully covered in shimmering sequins or beading, catching the light with every step. It had a sleek, body-hugging fit with a dramatic mermaid-style flare at the bottom. The short, structured sleeves and deep keyhole neckline added an elegant but daring touch to the look.
Fans were quick to praise her red carpet appearance. One user wrote, ¡°Face card, hair and dress, everything¡¯s a 10,¡± while another added, ¡°She destroyed everyone.¡±

However, not everyone was impressed. Some fans felt Sydney didn¡¯t follow the theme. One comment read, ¡°I expected more people to be in theme,¡± while another joked, ¡°People heard ¡®black¡¯ and thought of the colour.¡± "Expected more from her," one user simply mentioned.
Gigi Hadid turns heads in gold
Gigi Hadid was later seen leaving her hotel in a metallic gold gown that screamed Old Hollywood. The halter-neck dress featured sparkling embellishments, a figure-hugging shape, and a flared hem. Styled with classic finger waves and statement earrings, Gigi looked every bit the screen siren.

Despite the glamorous look, fans were left wanting more. ¡°It is not in the theme,¡± one person commented. Another said, ¡°What is this mess¡ Not even on theme.¡±
Though both Sydney and Gigi looked beautiful, online fashion police felt that their outfits missed the point of the evening. The Met Gala is known not just for style, but for creativity and relevance to the theme. With Superfine highlighting Black fashion history, many hoped to see more intentional nods to its cultural roots.
