Met Gala 2025: Black Tie Tailoring with Designer Women’s Shoes
The Met Gala 2025 red carpet set a new precedent for personal expression through structure and silhouette. This year’s theme, Tailored for You, explored the artistry of customisation and craftsmanship — celebrating individuality through tailoring, precision, and bold styling choices. Naturally, we were captivated by the sharp resurgence of black tie tailoring, reinvented with a feminine edge.
As champions of artisanal design and timeless luxury, at Freya Rose we believe that the right pair of designer women’s shoes doesn’t just complete a look — it defines it. Below, we share how we would have styled some of our favourite tailored ensembles from the evening with our handcrafted heels and jewellery, honouring each woman’s distinct narrative through our signature creations.
Sabrina Carpenter: Sculpted in Burgundy
Sabrina Carpenter turned heads in a rich burgundy tailored tuxedo mini, complete with a long train and crisp white shirt collar. It was a fierce and playful reinvention of black tie dressing — commanding and sculptural with a dash of Old Hollywood drama. We’d complete her look with our Bianca heels — champagne leather with a jewelled mother-of-pearl heel that contrast beautifully with the depth of her suiting. To echo the structured metallic notes of her buttons and rings, we’d pair this with the Silver Armour Drops, offering a glint of armour-like sophistication to balance the softness of her blonde waves.

Demi Moore: Dramatic Silhouettes, Eternal Glamour
Demi Moore delivered high drama in a structured black sequin gown with bold white accents and a showstopping sculptural collar that rose around her shoulders. The silhouette was nothing short of theatrical — tailored, statuesque and timeless, with a futuristic edge. To complement her commanding ensemble, we’d style Demi in our Cleopatra heels. These black suede platforms with a gilded, jewelled heel strike a perfect balance between strength and femininity. For jewellery, our Baroque Pearl Long Drops would add a soft yet powerful organic contrast — enhancing the gown’s linear drama with natural curves and timeless opulence.

Tyla: A Moment in Time, Encased in Elegance
Tyla graced the carpet in a sleek, corset-boned white gown embroidered with delicate pinstripes — a reinterpretation of traditional suiting that exuded confidence and a powerful sense of femininity. The extended train added drama, while the oversized shirt-style coat draped nonchalantly over her shoulders hinted at sartorial rebellion. We imagine grounding this ensemble with our Dove heels — refined, feminine, and understated with mother-of-pearl detailing — offering grace and quiet strength. Our Hakuro Ivory earrings, with their elegant form and natural shimmer, would mirror the transience of her look with a timeless beauty.

Jenna Ortega: Gothic Tailoring Reimagined
Jenna Ortega’s gothic-inspired tailoring was bold and androgynous, yet irresistibly feminine. To juxtapose and soften the sharpness of her silhouette, we would choose our Nova heels — a shimmering silver platform style with a mother-of-pearl heel that adds height and sculptural allure. Finished with the Petite Crystal Drops in Silver, this look would strike a perfect balance between rebellious and refined.

Joey King: Modern Romance with a Pop of Green
Joey King's tailoring, complete with a cinched waist and bold emerald tones, stood out as a modern romantic statement. We would elevate this with our Cher Verde heels — vibrant green suede shoes with a jewelled mother-of-pearl heel — injecting a playful yet polished pop of colour. Paired with the Open Weave Curled Hoops, this edit would echo the rich texture and contemporary edge of her look.

Designer Women’s Shoes: The Soul of the Look
This year’s Met Gala proved that tailoring is far from minimal — it’s expressive, imaginative, and deeply personal. And when paired with our designer women’s shoes that are crafted as wearable works of art, the result is a look that tells a story. At Freya Rose, we believe shoes and jewellery are not afterthoughts — they are the soul of the ensemble, bringing meaning, memory, and magic to every step.
