At the 2025 Met Gala, Cynthia Erivo captivated attendees with a custom Givenchy ensemble, designed by Sarah Burton, that paid homage to Rococo dandyism. The look featured a sculptural corset-style jacket adorned with over 43,000 hand-embroidered Swarovski crystals and a voluminous black tulle skirt. Inspired by figures like Joseph Bologne and Prince, the outfit required more than 2,250 hours to create. Erivo's appearance celebrated Black dandyism and the evening's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."
