Met Gala 2025: Kendall Jenner’s Giant Oval Hat Steals the After-Party Spotlight

Watch:Met Gala 2025: Kendall Jenner Steals the Show in NSFW Business Attire

Kendall Jenner is keeping up with the dramatic brim.

Indeed, The Kardashians star’s eye for detail didn’t end at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Like many celebrities who attended the 2025 Met Gala, the 29-year-old served a second look at the May 5 afterparty—and she still had the event’s “Tailored for You” dress code in mind. 

Kendall wore an all-black kinetic suit from Mugler’s Fall-Winter 1999-2000 La Vie en Rose collection, which she shared a glimpse of on her Instagram Stories. And while the sculpted, peplum-cinched top is a stunner, the true star of the outfit was her wide-brimmed hat. The accessory—which is dramatically tipped to the side—was certainly a statement piece, considering she opted to wear no jewelry.  

Kendall wasn’t the only KarJenner sibling that saw the beauty in an oversized hat. Earlier that evening on the famed Met steps, her sister Kim Kardashian, 44, topped her black leather Chrome Hearts dress—which featured a few diamond-studded chains—with a tilted hat, a perfect reference to this year’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme.

Her maxi skirt, styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, was touched up with a mini train. 

While she didn’t lean into diamonds for her Mugler look, Kendall embraced the jewel in her evening look and wore a studded choker.
