Met Gala 2025

Swarovski Couture Shines on the Red Carpet

Illuminating Fashion’s Biggest Night Out

Swarovski’s 130-year heritage of artistry and savoir-faire was highlighted as the House presented at the Met Gala for the second year. Responding to the theme ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ and dress code, ‘Tailored for You’, Global Creative Director, Giovanna Engelbert, imagined four one-of-a-kind couture looks that balance the defining characteristics of dandyism with the inherent grace of the House emblem, the Swarovski Swan. Worn by Engelbert and Friends of the House, Adut Aketch, Alex Consani, and Sora Choi, these elegant, theatrical, and fiercely individual looks reflected Swarovski’s joyful House colors and were completed by exquisitely crafted custom jewelry adding strength, structure, and shine.

Alex consani

Structured Elegance

Exuding elegance and a subtle sensuality, Alex Consani’s Swan White-inspired silhouette provided the ideal blank canvas for golden yellow crystal embroidery. The two-piece skirt and jacket set spoke to Alex’s strength and timeless sense of style, reimagining a tailored suit complete with a one-of-a-kind jewelry-revere. Seamlessly integrated into the suit, this hand-crafted piece featured 18,400 Swarovski Crystals and was created by a team of 15 artisans with expertise in traditional goldsmithing, stone setting, and tailoring techniques and required over 275 hours of craftsmanship.

Regal Opulence

Echoing the grandeur of the Swarovski Swan, Adut Akech’s hand-made ensemble paired a gilet-inspired mini dress with a dramatic floor-length tailcoat. Channeling the power of pink, the look leaned into extravagance and Adut’s youthful allure in its accessories, teaming over-ear cuffs from the to-be-released Swarovski Vienna collection with a statement collar featuring Pointiage™-encrusted feathers in a degrade pattern, crafted from 25,550 Swarovski Crystals applied by a team of four over 145 hours.

Giovanna engelbert

Artisanat moderne

En interprétant de façon personnelle le code vestimentaire de cette année, « Tailored for You », la directrice artistique globale de Swarovski, Giovanna Engelbert, a incarné le thème dans un costume trois-pièces parfaitement coupé. À la fois unique et influencé par l’artisanat classique et l’essence du dandysme, le costume rendait hommage au cygne Swarovski avec des plumes brodées ornant l’ensemble pour créer une sensation de mouvement. La touche finale : un collier ras-du-cou sur-mesure, mêlant plumes et nœud, orné de 1 800 zirconias Swarovski, fabriqué par quatre artisans en plus de 240 heures de travail.

sora choi

Contraste gracieux

La tenue entièrement bleue de Sora Choi mêlait un tailoring structuré à des touches romantiques et oniriques. Son manteau de cérémonie, taillé pour s’épanouir en une jupe fluide évoquant un cygne en plein ballet, rendait hommage à son esprit punk et à sa force intérieure. Le serre-tête et la ceinture attiraient tous les regards, incarnant la tension entre douceur et puissance grâce à des plumes métalliques cristallisées entremêlées de plumes en organza façonnées à la main. La ceinture, ornée de 16 300 zirconias Swarovski, a nécessité 70 heures de travail, tandis que le serre-tête étincelait de 12 600 zirconias Swarovski, appliqués en 50 heures.

Behind-the-Scenes

Thousands of Swarovski Crystals, sublime savoir-faire, and a clear creative vision.

The Making of the Met Gala Couture Looks

Ideas and Inspiration

It all starts with a sketch. Swarovski Global Creative Director, Giovanna Engelbert, fuses Swarovski’s 130 years of joy and savoir-faire with the Met Gala’s annual theme.

Celebrating Craftsmanship

Honoring traditional tailoring codes to create striking silhouettes, each of the four looks combined House colors with hundreds of thousands of precision-cut Swarovski Crystals.

Works of Art

The Swarovski Crystals embellishing each couture creation were applied like brushstrokes on canvas. Hand-sketched by Engelbert, the result is a painterly effect inspired by the historic Schönbrunn Palace that adds depth, movement, and texture.

Delight in the Details

Each look was embroidered by Parisian haute couture ateliers, Lesage and Baqué Molinié, completed with full-length monochromatic tailcoats and custom Manolo Blahnik footwear.
