@halleberry: I am so honored to have been a muse for LaQuan Smith, who designed a gown that rose to meet the depth and strength of this year's theme. LaQuan crafted a piece that felt like a poem-whispers of old New York, the shimmer of broken city lights, the unapologetic grace of Black Dandyism, and the boldness of claiming space in today's fashion narrative. To wear this gown was to feel powerful, purposeful, and proud. Thank you, LaQuan, for creating something so breathtaking-and for allowing me to bring it to life. #metgala2025
