Coco Jones just shut down the 2025 Met Gala carpet—and she did it in true Gen Z fashion: bold, intentional, and dripping in culture. Making her second appearance at fashion’s biggest night, the Grammy-winning singer showed up and showed out in a regal custom look from legendary Indian designer Manish Malhotra.
Wearing a breathtaking cream and white embroidered ensemble, Coco gave us a full-on dandy moment laced with floral elegance. Her dramatic long-sleeve coat, cinched perfectly at the waist, was beaded and embroidered with silver, white, and cream botanicals that cascaded down to her matching trousers. The coat’s sharp lapels and sweeping train? A power move. The absence of a shirt beneath the jacket? A fashion flex. This is the kind of statement that only someone with Coco’s confidence—and killer styling by Maeve Reilly—can pull off flawlessly.
Now let’s talk hair. Coco’s braid was literally as long as her body, trailing down her back like a symbol of grace and edge all in one. The sleek swoop in the front added a timeless twist that tied the whole look together.
And accessories? Jones said drama. She rocked a statement necklace featuring shimmering diamonds and blue sapphires, flanked by delicate stud earrings, and polished it all off with ivory Jimmy Choo heels. The jewelry added just the right amount of sparkle to balance out the textured richness of her outfit.
From her choice of designer to the breathtaking silhouette and precise styling, Jones’s look wasn’t just fashion—it was storytelling. Her ensemble felt like an homage to the artistry of heritage couture while staying rooted in a modern-day narrative of luxury, power, and Black girl excellence.
And let’s not forget: Jones just dropped her new album Why Not More, and if this look is any indication, the answer is clear—we want more Coco on every carpet, in every era, always.
From her music to her Met moment, Coco Jones is in her main character era. And yes, from a Gen Z lens? She gets the Girls United stamp of approval—no questions asked.
