Met Gala 2025: A Night of Tailoring and Glamour. Heyhae Nails That Match Celeb Outfits
This year’s Met Gala theme,“Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, offered a powerful tribute to Black dandyism and tailoring influence. Celebrities embraced the moment with bold interpretations rooted in history, elegance, and personal expression—merging the past with the future in a way only the Met can.
Rihanna in Custom Marc Jacobs
Rihanna’s show-stopping Marc Jacobs ensemble—defined by sharp tailoring, dramatic structure, and theatrical elegance—seamlessly echoes the bold, high-contrast energy of Heyhae Nails’ “Hey, IYKYK” manicure. Just as Rihanna layers textures and silhouettes with masterful precision—from the cropped wool jacket to the pinstripe bustle skirt—the nail look layers sleek black and white polish with glitter stripes, creating a visual rhythm of edge and opulence. This design proves that whether it’s haute couture or nail art, the secret to standing out lies in striking contrasts and unapologetic flair. If you know, you know.
Doechii in Louis Vuitton
Doechii brought fearless flair to the red carpet in a Pharrell Williams–designed Louis Vuitton look that redefined modern dandyism with a twist. Her monogram tuxedo jacket and damier shorts exuded elevated swagger, while the burgundy bow, matching socks, and signature cheekbone decal gave a wink to heritage with a rebellious edge. In one hand, a mini Speedy bag; in the other, a cigar—each detail playing into the narrative of playful yet pointed self-expression.
“Hey, Call Me” manicure—a dazzling white ink drop pattern adorned with ultra-reflective micro glitter commands attention from every angle. Just like Doechii’s look, this mani doesn’t whisper—it shines, struts, and dares you to look twice.
Teyana Taylor in Ruth E. Carter for Marc Jacobs
Teyana Taylor blurred the lines between costume design and couture in a breathtaking collaboration with legendary designer Ruth E. Carter. Channeling the spirit of a modern-day renaissance icon, her burgundy suit ensemble pulsed with storytelling—from the "Rose in Harlem" stitched along her cape’s hem to the durag layered beneath a feathered hat—each detail a celebration of heritage, resilience, and Black excellence.
What matches this elegant, layered look? “Hey, You’re a Boss Babe”— a rich, syrup-red design mirrors the deep hues of Teyana’s suit. Bold yet versatile, these nails command attention with quiet confidence—just like a boss writing her own legacy in every stitch and shimmer.
Jenna Ortega in Balmain
Jenna Ortega redefined red carpet tailoring with a sculptural silver Balmain gown that blurred the lines between fashion and art. Crafted entirely from metallic rulers, the piece was more than a dress—it was a tribute to the very foundations of couture. With its plunging bustier and impeccably contoured silhouette, Olivier Rousteing’s design paid homage to the tools of the trade while elevating them into wearable art.
Perfectly complementing this architectural masterpiece is our “Hey, You’re Timeless” design. With a sleek combination of black and silver, the manicure mirrors the metallic precision and classic elegance of Jenna’s look.
Jennie Kim in Chanel
Jennie of BLACKPINK returned to the Met Gala in a look that reasserted her status as both fashion icon and house ambassador. This bespoke creation for Jennie unveiled an even more intimate layer of the maison’s artistry. The gown and pant suit channeled the house of Chanel's intricate detailing, black satin textures, and the signature pearl and camellia flower details.
Heyhae's "Hey, Text Me Back” design embodies Jennie's outfit with a sultry black syrup ombre design that echos the moody allure of the look. It’s a style that doesn’t scream—but lingers, like a midnight message you can’t forget.
