Khaby Lame Wears Custom BOSS to the 2025 Met Gala
Senegalese-Italian superstar and social media sensation Khaby Lame made a sharp, culturally resonant statement at the 2025 Met Gala, themed Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, by showing up in a custom BOSS look by Marco Falcioni.
Styled by the renowned Ugo Mozie, Khaby arrived in a grey pinstripe three-piece suit featuring a crisp white shirt and classic tie—a timeless silhouette elevated with an unexpected twist. The standout piece? A waistcoat adorned with vintage timepiece faces, adding a narrative layer to the look that reflected both literal time and Khaby’s rise from silent creator to global fashion icon. His black-and-white wingtip shoes added a final nod to old-world tailoring.
According to BOSS' official Instagram, the look was an "archive-inspired, custom BOSS suit with a playful pocket-watch-embellished waistcoat.”.
A longtime BOSS brand ambassador, Khaby has fronted the brand’s Fall 2022, Spring 2023, and iconic #BeYourOwnBoss campaigns, bringing authenticity, cultural nuance, and global appeal to each project. He also collaborated on a BOSS x Khaby capsule collection, further proving his influence extends beyond social platforms and into the luxury menswear space.
