Ego Nwodim made her highly anticipated debut at the 2025 Met Gala on May 5, donning a bold and playful three-piece suit by Christopher John Rogers. Known for her comedic chops on Saturday Night Live, Nwodim’s Met Gala appearance marked her first time walking the iconic steps, and she certainly brought a unique flair to fashion’s biggest night.
Hosting the Vogue red carpet livestream alongside Teyana Taylor and La La Anthony, Nwodim dazzled in a black suit featuring a cropped jacket with structured shoulder pads and a cleavage-baring corset. The standout piece of her ensemble was a ruffled peplum hem that gave the look an extra touch of drama, along with matching ankle-cropped pants.
To add a playful twist, Nwodim’s jacket sleeves were adorned with rainbow-colored buttons that she matched with her nails, ensuring her ensemble stood out. She completed her look with bold red patent leather pumps and a sparkling diamond necklace that added an extra touch of glamour. 
For her makeup, Nwodim kept things neutral with brown eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and a glossy brown lip, letting her outfit shine. The comedian’s style reflected the Met Gala 2025 theme Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, which emphasized tailoring and menswear.
This year’s Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, focused on the exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, which explores Black dandyism and its impact on fashion. Nwodim’s stunning outfit and confident presence added to the evening’s celebration of style and culture.
Nwodim’s appearance at the Met Gala marks an exciting moment in her fashion journey, especially as she continues to grow as a style icon. Prior to her Met Gala debut, Nwodim has made other notable red carpet appearances, including the 2025 NAACP Image Awards. Her growing influence on the fashion world reflects her longstanding passion for style, a passion she first developed as a child when she dreamed of becoming a fashion designer.
As Nwodim continues to make waves both on and off the red carpet, her debut at the 2025 Met Gala solidified her as a force to watch in the world of fashion.
