At the 2025 Met Gala, Lorde made a striking return to the red carpet after a four-year hiatus, embracing the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" with a bold ensemble by Thom Browne. She wore a silver metallic corseted maxi skirt paired with a backless satin bandeau top that appeared to float, sparking curiosity about its construction . Completing the look, she carried a coordinating suit jacket, adorned with diamond accessories and a silver-adorned braid.
