## Damson Idris

Damson is in the forthcoming Formula 1 movie, called *F1*, which is basically *Days of Thunder* but in a different discipline. And with Lewis Hamilton as a co-host, that was probably enough impetus for this.

On the red carpet, we saw the two wranglers getting into position, discussing the position, SWITCHING the position, and synching up to get the timing right. It was fascinating. And it worked!

It's a worthy reveal!

## Jodie Turner-Smith in Burberry

On TV this looked more brown, but in photos, red. Leather is tough to tailor, I think? This is expertly done, and on the body of a woman who carries it with ease and supreme confidence. If Burberry can do this, why are the fashion shows sputtering?

## Sabrina Carpenter in Louis Vuitton

Pharrell apparently told her that she wouldn't be in pants because she's petite. Hmm. I LOVE the top of this, and it all fits exactly as it should; this would've been a great departure from her babydoll aesthetic if they'd sucked it up and made her some kick-ass pants or a slick skirt.

You can see the burgundy color of it better here, as well as the stripes. I would've loved her to be a bit more Ringleader and a bit less Bareback Rider, basically.

## Nessa and Colin Kaepernick

Her outfit leaves me a little cold -- although not her, clearly, with that puffer -- but Colin's suit is indeed dandy.

Hmm. Well, in person it was probably amazing; in photos it DOES read like expensive dandruff.

This is one of my favorites of the night. That textile is beyond.

## Barry Keoghan in Valentino

This is the least ridiculous photo I could find -- I assume that is his Beatles biopic hair, and in several of the pics, it was cracking me up in a non-complimentary way. Some suggested this was intended as a Sgt. Pepper reference. It's definitely well-made. I'm not sure how well it suits him.

## Edvin Thompson

He's one of the rising designers who attended, and REALLY stood out on the red carpet. I THINK the back of his wrap says STOP PLAYING WITH ME.

## Gabby Thomas

This is giving circus, too, a bit. Without knowing the references, I can only go on my cut that I wish this were simpler because it feels muddled.

## Paloma Elsesser in Ferragamo

Glamorous. And sort of low-key by comparison.

## Debbie Allen and Norm Nixon

YES. You go promenade, Debbie.

[Her stylist says](https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/amelia-gray-valentino-met-gala-2025-1237617813/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) this was "inspired by Black tailoring and Black fashion icons, particularly the likes of André Leon Talley, Prince and Dapper Dan, as well as the fashion in the 1920s and 1930s Harlem in New York City," which they then tailored to her aesthetic. And that is... ? Look, even if it's bang-on, this feels costumey in less of a reverent way and more of an "I want to go viral" way. It's silly.

I welcome learning about whether this is a reference to something specific, or just cheap postpartum undercrackers (note: she is not postpartum).

I mean. THIS is how it's done.

I appreciate the bold, bright red on him.

We decided this was a burnt-orange situation. I love it so much. Simple and effective and no oversize cotton panties poking out.

You are making me love that color, sir.

Unexpected! The artistry on that cape is stunning; the suit's tailoring seems slightly less precise on a night where there were VERY few misses in that regard. But I was shocked to see her! But this isn't the whole outfit...

Okay, NOW you've seen the whole outfit.
