With just days until the 2025 Met Gala, the guest list and seating arrangements are already set. We mere mortals won't know exactly who's attending until they walk up the steps on May 5—but Hailey Bieber cleverly used a vintage Gucci dress to potentially wink at her RSVP.
The Rhode founder touched down in New York City on April 30. She'd barely made it out of the JFK Airport baggage claim before heading out to Manhattan's Cafe Zaffri for a late-night bite. Stylist Dani Michelle pulled an icy blue vintage Gucci dress, circa the Spring 1998 collection designed by Tom Ford, for the pointed sidewalk strut. At a first glance, it's simply a mid-length sheath with the expert, subtly sexy tailoring Ford brought to Gucci. But Michelle and Bieber logged on Instagram to shed some light on the look's backstory.
