The Met Gala is arguably the most scrutinized fashion event in the world, and every year, all eyes turn to the Kardashian-Jenner clan to see how they will interpret the theme. The 2025 event, held on Monday, May 5, 2025, was no exception, as beauty mogul Kylie Jenner delivered one of the evening's most talked-about looks, stepping out in a custom sheer Ferragamo gown that perfectly blended her signature sultry aesthetic with the night's complex theme. This article, updated in December 2025, breaks down every detail of her controversial, yet stunning, appearance, from the designer choice to the unexpected drama that unfolded after she left the red carpet.

Jenner's choice to wear a striking, body-hugging corset dress by Ferragamo’s Creative Director, Maximilian Davis, marked a significant fashion moment for the star. The look was a bold interpretation of the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" theme, focusing on structure, tailoring, and the power of the silhouette. It was a calculated move that generated millions of impressions, cementing her status as a Met Gala mainstay.

Her annual Met Gala appearance is now a critical marketing and brand-building event, showcasing her evolution from a reality star to a global fashion icon.

The 2025 Met Gala Look: Ferragamo’s Sheer Corset Statement

Kylie Jenner’s 2025 ensemble was one of the most talked-about looks of the night, a custom creation by Ferragamo’s creative director, Maximilian Davis. She arrived on the green-and-white carpet at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in a sheer, body-hugging black halter-neck gown.

A Deep Dive into the Ferragamo Design

The dress was a masterclass in modern tailoring, featuring a completely see-through corset bodice with exposed boning, offering a contemporary take on classic structure. The sheer fabric flowed into a sleek skirt, dramatically cut with one of the highest leg slits seen on the red carpet that year. The look was completed with matching sheer gloves, adding a touch of Old Hollywood glamour to the otherwise avant-garde design.

This appearance marked a significant moment for Ferragamo under Maximilian Davis, a designer who has been praised for his modern, minimalist, yet powerfully tailored approach. The choice of a black and gray palette was a sharp contrast to her pale pink Oscar de la Renta gown from the previous year's Met Gala, signaling a more mature and high-fashion direction for the star.

Decoding the 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' Theme

The 2025 Met Gala theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," was a historical and cultural examination of Black style over three hundred years, inspired by the concept of Black Dandyism. The dress code, "Tailored for You," was a nod to the craftsmanship and heritage of Black designers and the significance of tailoring in Black fashion history.

Kylie's Interpretation: Structure and Silhouette

While the theme called for honoring the impact of Black designers, Kylie Jenner’s choice of a sheer corset dress by the Black British designer Maximilian Davis for Ferragamo was a direct, albeit subtle, interpretation. Her look focused heavily on the concept of 'tailoring' and 'structure.' The corset, a foundational element of tailoring, was deconstructed and made 'superfine' through the sheer material and exposed boning.

Fashion critics noted that Jenner's gray and black corseted look "mimicked men's tailoring," transforming a typically masculine element of dress into a hyper-feminine, body-conscious silhouette. This play on gendered tailoring and structure was her way of engaging with the theme's emphasis on the power and precision of the tailored garment, a central tenet of the Black Dandy aesthetic.

The sheer fabric also allowed her to push the boundaries of the dress code, a signature move for the Kardashian-Jenner women. By choosing a design that was both highly structured (the corset) and completely revealing (the sheer fabric), she created a dichotomy that kept her firmly in the spotlight.

The Viral Moments: Solo Arrival and the Shoe Drama

Beyond the dress itself, Kylie Jenner's 2025 Met Gala appearance generated significant buzz for two non-fashion related reasons that quickly went viral across social media and fashion news outlets.

The Solo Appearance

One of the biggest questions leading up to the event was whether Kylie would attend with her boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet. She ultimately made a solo return to the Met Gala, confirming she would be walking the carpet alone. Chalamet chose to skip the event, despite their high-profile relationship, leading to immediate speculation and widespread coverage about his absence. The focus remained entirely on Kylie and her bold fashion choice, proving she is a powerful red carpet presence on her own.

The Glued Shoe Controversy

In a surprising behind-the-scenes revelation, Jenner later shared a detail about her footwear that became an instant viral moment. To ensure the perfect fit and seamless look with her thigh-high slit gown, her team apparently had to go to extreme lengths. She revealed that her shoes were effectively "glued on" or taped to her feet to prevent any slippage or movement.

This unexpected "shoe drama" highlighted the intense effort and sometimes painful sacrifices made for the sake of a flawless red carpet moment. Jenner herself recounted that it took a whole team to "pry her shoes off" after the event, a testament to the dedication required to pull off a Met Gala look that adheres perfectly to the "Tailored for You" dress code.

Conclusion

Kylie Jenner's 2025 Met Gala appearance in her custom sheer Ferragamo corset dress was a triumph of structure, style, and strategic media presence. By embracing the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" theme with a deconstructed, tailored silhouette from a relevant designer, she delivered a look that was both true to her brand and respectful of the exhibition’s focus. Her solo arrival and the subsequent viral shoe drama only added to the unforgettable nature of her night, ensuring that her 2025 ensemble remains one of the most talked-about moments of the year's biggest fashion event.
