Every Met Gala look this year has kept us wide-eyed and dreaming. Just when we thought we couldn’t take in another showstopper, Ayo Edebiri arrived and made space in our hearts with a look rooted in love and heritage.
For fashion’s biggest nightâthe first Monday in Mayâthe actress, comedian, and star of “”; wore a custom creation by Maximilian Davis for Ferragamo. The floor-length white collared dress featured red coral beading that started at the shoulders and flowed down the front in longmultiple strands.
She paired the beaded white dress with a black leather trench coat and sheer mesh gloves. The silhouette echoed the sharp lines of classic tailoring while adding a bold, personal twist.
On the carpet, Ayo revealed that the outfit was inspired by her father and grandfather. “I’m a Black American that’s half Bajan, half Nigerian, and grew up in church â I honestly think all of the men in my life are fashionable,”; she said during the Vogue livestream.
Her beauty look matched the elegance of her outfit. Ayo wore a sculpted slicked-back bun with a kiss curl fringe, soft neutral eyeshadow, and perfectly defined lips. Hairstylist Jacob Aaron shared that her hair, too, was a nod to her roots.
This marked Ayo’s second time at the Met Gala. Last year, she wore a floral crochet Loewe dress styled by Danielle Goldberg. This year, she took things deeperâwith family, fashion, and form stitched together on the carpet.
