At the 2025 Met Gala, Tom Ford made a memorable entrance in a classic white tuxedo designed by Haider Ackermann for Tom Ford. The ensemble featured a double-breasted jacket, a matching bow tie, and a white piqué plastron shirt with a wing-tipped collar. Ford accessorized with a single gardenia pinned to his lapel and embroidered sheer gloves, completing the look with an unlit cigar, which he playfully mimed smoking. This sophisticated and playful outfit perfectly embodied the evening's theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” honoring Black dandyism and its lasting influence on fashion.
