Burna Boy’s Ozwald Boateng Look Shines at 2025 Met Gala
Dressed in a custom-designed suit by Ozwald Boateng, Burna Boy embodied the event’s theme — “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” — with precision, confidence, and cultural pride. His outfit fused traditional African aesthetics with contemporary tailoring, creating a look that was both elegant and unapologetically Afrocentric.
Critics and fans alike praised his appearance as “iconic” and “a masterclass in cultural representation on the red carpet.”
But Burna Boy wasn’t just dressing to impress — he was making a statement.
Joining him in representing Nigeria at the prestigious fashion event were singer Tems, who blended Aso-Ebi fabric with modern style; Ayra Starr, who wowed in a minimalist gown; and author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who served on the Met Gala’s host committee in a commanding red dress.
