For Chappell Roan, it feels like every day is the Met Gala. So it was no surprise that the always fashion-forward pop star would make a splash for her first time on those legendary steps outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday night (May 5).
For her Met Gala debut, Chappell went full glam rock, pairing a bell-bottomed patchwork magenta suit with a floor-length matching coat that blossomed out into a feather-lined train dragging behind her. The fitting final touch was her David Bowie-worthy makeup, with shimmering silver eye shadow up to her eyebrows, extra-long feathered eyelashes, and a pink pattern drawn down her cheeks. A slit at the front of her bell-bottom pants also revealed matching magenta heeled boots, and the look was topped by her flame-red curls brushed out to full volume.
While we saw the coat as Chappell exited the Carlyle Hotel to make her way to the Met, it looks like she posed in just the suit on the Met steps.

The 2025 Met Gala theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which also inspired the Met Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition of the same name and explores the history of Black dandyism.
Other musicians who walked the Met Gala red carpet on Monday included Bad Bunny, Lizzo, Doja Cat, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Shakira, Shaboozey and more.
