Diana Ross made a daring declaration on the red carpet of the esteemed Met Gala 2025, where she shone as the epitome of elegance and grace. The legendary vocalist of "Endless Love" gracefully emerged, adorned in a figure-hugging silver dress adorned with intricate embellishments, meticulously selected from her personal archive to pay homage to the gala's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." This showstopper ensemble was complemented by an extravagant white feathered hat and a coat with an astonishing 18-foot train, a creation she collaboratively crafted with designer Ugo Mozie, as revealed by Vogue.

At 81, Ross showcased a heartfelt touch by having the names of her cherished children and grandchildren meticulously embroidered on her flowing cape. She accessorized with stylish gray chandelier earrings and sported a peach-hued makeup palette that complemented her radiant complexion. Her son, Evan, 36, walked alongside her on the red carpet, while her daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross, later joined their ranks at the glamorous event, donning a striking pink Marc Jacobs suit that demanded attention. Ross is also the proud mother of Rhonda, 53, and Chudney, 49.

This appearance marked a triumphant return for the pop icon to the elite soiree after a hiatus spanning over two decades. The last time the singer of "I'm Coming Out" graced the Met Gala was in 2003, where she stole the spotlight alongside designer Tom Ford. Then, she captivated audiences in a red satin gown and matching cape, paired with a bold red lip and dramatic dark eye makeup. To finalize her enchanting look, she adorned herself with silver earrings and a striking choker necklace.
