The Met Gala is often a cauldron of weird and wonderful design and fashion choices, but the event's experimental soup of high fashion can be the perfect inspiration for creating new, outlandish character designs. Whether you're creating a gothic character design or an elegant anime hero in Procreate, there's plenty of inspiration here.
This year's Met Gala 2025 theme of 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' – which focuses on how clothing and design is connected to and empowers black identity – is a great one to pick from, whether its Zendaya striking a pose in Louis Vuitton or Dua Lipa's sprawling feathered Chanel dress, each outfit feels more suited to a fantasy video game like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 than they do the red carpet.
