Met Gala 2025 Live Updates: Teyana Taylor Opens the Carpet With Flare

By Fashion Confidential | May 5, 2025

New York, NY – The first Monday in May never disappoints, and Met Gala 2025 is off to a sizzling start. Teyana Taylor, known for her bold fashion sense and boundary-pushing style, opened the red carpet with a jaw-dropping look that set the tone for the night.

This year’s theme, “Mythos & Machinery: Fashion in the Age of AI,” challenged attendees to blend classical fantasy with futuristic flair. Teyana didn’t just rise to the occasion—she ignited it. Emerging from a sleek chrome carriage, she stunned in a custom Iris van Herpen gown that shimmered like liquid metal, adorned with sculpted wings that moved via micro-servo motors as she walked.

Her hair was styled into a high-arching crown braid with holographic threads woven through, while her accessories included neural-network-inspired ear cuffs and a choker that pulsed with LED patterns synced to her heartbeat.

Inside the Met, whispers swirled that Taylor’s dress contained a tiny AI that learned her movements and adjusted the gown’s shape accordingly. When asked by Vogue’s red carpet correspondent if the rumors were true, Teyana winked and said, “Let’s just say I let the future style me tonight.”

As the carpet continues to fill with stars, from Zendaya to Timothée Chalamet, one thing is clear: Teyana Taylor didn’t just open the Met Gala—she launched it into another dimension.

Stay tuned for more live updates from fashion’s biggest night.
