Ayo Edebiri’s Ferragamo 2025 Met Gala Look Delivers a Master Class in Tailoring

Truth be told, Ayo Edebiri never needed to walk the 2025 Met Gala red carpet to prove she could embody this year’s theme, “Tailored for You.” The burgeoning actress has already established herself as a style icon who knows her way around a suit. So, it comes as no surprise that tonight, as one of the event’s esteemed host committee members, she soared to the top of the best-dressed list, with equally stunning makeup and hair to match.

Edebiri arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in an elegant Ferragamo outfit designed by Maximilian Davis. Her tailored look was defined by a white collared dress decorated with vibrant red beads. Stylist Danielle Goldberg brought Edebiri’s symbolic ensemble to life with a broach-adorned leather suit jacket that swept the floor. She topped off the refined uniform with sheer gloves that delivered a dose of drama.

"This is inspired by my dad, my grandfather, and tailoring,” said Edebiri during an interview on the red carpet.

As for glam, makeup artist Dee Carrion for Dior created a haute editorial look for the actor. "We wanted to create a look that was a little bit different from Ayo’s usual glam," she tells Marie Claire exclusively. "We opted for a thin brow and and long skinny outer eye lash to create an editorial feel." She adds that Edebiri came to her with the idea for the thin brow, which felt particularly fresh and exciting. "When I saw the outfit i knew that I wanted to keep the glam somewhat simplistic but effective," she says. "I wanted the dress to really shine and be the moment."

As for hero products used in the look, Carrion utilized the Dior Forever Glow Luminizer to create a beautiful luminous glow on the actor's cheekbones, as well as the Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil in Mahogany to add a glossy finish to her lip.

As for her hair, stylist Jacob Aaron utilized OGX products to sculpt Edebiri's glossy updo. "For the day of, we chose a sleek, sculpted look that felt regal and refined—something that complemented the structure of her gown while also nodding to her Nigerian heritage," Aaron states in a press release from the brand. "It was important to us that the hair felt intentional and rooted in identity, while still delivering that Met Gala polish and red-carpet presence.” The OGX Touchable Hold Gel was the star of the show here to keep flyaways at bay and to hold the rope-like bun in place throughout the night.

This isn’t Edebiri’s first Met Gala rodeo. The actress made her unforgettable debut last year while wearing a blossoming Loewe halter neck gown. Plastered with hand-painted floral lace and vibrant 3D appliqué flowers, the star’s ethereal column dress championed intricate craftsmanship. Goldberg decorated Edebiri’s look with shimmering Boucheron jewels, including a pair of pendant earrings and an embellished ring.

Makeup artist Dana Delaney created a fresh and dewy look with radiant pink blush and glistening eye shadow to match. Meanwhile, hair stylist Miles Jeffries kept things simple with a slicked back updo that exuded an undeniably polished feel.

Edebiri’s impressive Met Gala outfits are just two of many looks that have placed the actress in Hollywood’s stylish It-girl category. Several months ago, at the NAACP Image Awards, she stole the spotlight in an archival halter neck Versace gown cut from silver sequined fabric. Goldberg turned Edebiri’s ruched chainmail dress up a notch with dazzling silver heels and sparkly diamond studs.

If there’s one thing for certain, it’s that Edebiri is carving out a name for herself in the fashion world.
