Robert Wun: 1. Everyone else: 0

There’s no official prize for best dressed at the Met Gala, but if there were, Robert Wun would’ve swept it. The London College of Fashion graduate founded his namesake label in 2014, later pivoting exclusively to couture. Today, he is known for combining razor-sharp tailoring with imaginative silhouettes and a cinematic, otherworldly approach to dressmaking. In January 2023, Wun made history as the first designer from Hong Kong to join the official Paris Haute Couture calendar as a guest member. He has since created custom couture looks for everyone from Adele and Ariana Grande to Lady Gaga and Priyanka Chopra.

It’s no surprise, then, that his fantastical creations ended up on some of the best-dressed guests at this year’s Met Gala.

Wun’s designs have graced the Met steps before. In 2023, Olympic freestyle skier Eileen Gu wore his Wine Stain wedding gown from his spring 2023 couture collection, while Tems wore a custom black-and-white tailored look that same year. The following season, Wisdom Kaye sported a decay-inspired look in line with the ‘Garden of Time’ theme after walking the designer’s January couture showcase that year, while Meta’s Eva Chen wore a custom Snow Fall gown that illustrated melting frost. Last year, he dressed Shaboozey in a dandy-inspired moiré suit with turquoise beaded chains.

Below, we revisit each of his looks from the night. Spoiler alert: not a single miss.

Nichapat Suphap

We got a glimpse of the first Robert Wun look of the night before it even hit the carpet. Thai fashion consultant and talent manager Nichapat Suphap, who has been attending the costume benefit since 2018, debuted her look on Instagram before stepping onto the Met’s cobblestone carpet. When Suphab first learned about the exhibition theme last November, she kept returning to the idea of hands, she wrote in her caption. Inspired by Michelangelo’s ‘Creation of Adam’, Suphab reached out to Wun—who had shown an haute couture collection replete with additional mannequin arms earlier last year—and enlisted kinetic sculptor Casey Curran to bring the hands to life.

Naomi Osaka

Osaka is no stranger to a fun fashion moment. This January, the tennis star brought drama to the Australian Open in a custom Nike x Robert Wun court look, complete with a veiled hat and matching umbrella. For the Met’s annual fundraiser, she chose a look straight from the Met exhibit: a two-piece set comprising a blood red feather-adorned sculptural ivory coat with seams spliced open to reveal the garment underneath—a fitted Swarovski-studded blood-red gown that maps human anatomy. Ace.

Lisa

Blackpink’s Lisa, who is also on this year’s host committee, has been spotted in Wun several times in the past few years. For the night, she wore a custom iteration of look 23 from Wun’s autumn/winter 2025 haute couture collection. The couturier 3D-scanned the K-pop star’s actual arms to replicate them as sculptural extensions of the look. The additional appendages were arranged in a pose inspired by traditional Thai dance positions—a subtle nod to Lisa’s heritage. “Angelic” was the word thrown around.

Audrey Nuna

Korean-American rapper and singer Audrey Nuna of KPop Demon Hunters fame has spent all year serving looks, so much so that one of the top suggestions on Google reads “Why does Audrey Nuna dress like that?”. For her Met Gala debut, Nuna worked with stylist Danyul Brown and chose a stark white coat that appeared to be splattered violently with black pigment from Wun’s autumn/winter 2025 haute couture collection. Only, the “pigment” is actually 15,000 jet-black Swarovski crystals. Finished with the couturier’s signature hat and matching gloves, it was pure art.

Jordan Roth

For his eighth Met Gala outing, theatre producer and performer Jordan Roth was thinking about multifigure sculpture. “A solo figure is often posing for the viewer, but multiple figures are usually in some kind of heated moment—romance, love, lust, fear, violence. Something passionate is going on among these bodies,” he told Vogue. “And my curiosity was, what would it be like to be a body in that sculpture, to live in that sculpture?” What better way to depict that than with one of Wun’s shadow creatures? Together, the two worked on a dress that looks like it’s rendered in stone alongside a 3D-printed shadow form that rested on his back—a composition echoing Jean-Léon Gérôme’s ‘Pygmalion and Galatea’. The creature was attached to Roth’s waist with a three-strap harness. A feat of both storytelling and engineering.

Ananya Birla

For her first-ever Met Gala, Birla teamed up with stylist Rhea Kapoor to dream up a double whammy. Her look was a custom interpretation of workwear: a sharp blue shirt and sculptural peplum jacket that cinched the waist met with an exaggerated lustrous black skirt that ballooned dramatically underneath. The artist and entrepreneur paired it with a menacing stainless-steel mask by artist Subodh Gupta. Personally, I would’ve loved to see it with one of his wide-brimmed hats, but even without the mask and jewels the look is a 10/10. Superfine tailoring in conversation with the body.

Gustav Magnar Witzøe

Over the last couple of years, Witzøe, heir to Norwegian salmon fishing giant SalMar ASA, has become more than just one of the world’s youngest billionaires. He is also making a name for himself in fashion as a model on the side. This year, he wore a graphic black-and-white trompe l’oeil Robert Wun suit that maps musculature with over 1,00,000 embroidered pearls. Is looksmaxxing on his mind? Either way, it’s very on-theme. And before you wonder, he’s spoken for, according to Reddit. Sorry!

Beyoncé

Who knows what goes on inside the gala? I wasn’t expecting another serve tonight, but Beyoncé took the stage in a veiled Robert Wun look that crowns her mother of the galaxy. The gown is the finalé look from the couturier’s spring/summer 2026 runway. “And at last,” Wun wrote in his Instagram story reposting the look. Guess this is it, but at least we got to see the Alien Superstar. She’s one of Wun.
