Kendall Jenner Wears Shirtless Suit to Met Gala 2025

Kendall Jenner Reinvents Normcore With a Shirtless Power Suit at the Met Gala

Kendall Jenner returned to the Met Gala red carpet in true supermodel fashion — this time with no shirt in sight. The reality star turned fashion icon wore a deep-plunging, tailored gray suit by Torishéju, embracing minimalist elegance while aligning perfectly with the event’s theme: “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

While other attendees opted for grandeur and embellishment, Jenner stood out by doing less — and making it look effortlessly powerful.

A Quiet Power Move for Met Gala 2025

Kendall’s choice to forgo a shirt under her sharply cut blazer was a bold yet understated decision, placing her firmly in the center of the evening’s celebration of tailoring. The unstructured yet precise suit played into 2025’s rising normcore revival, where pared-down, classic silhouettes are reshaped for a new generation of fashion enthusiasts.

Styled with center-parted, softly waved hair and glowing soft glam makeup, Jenner’s look was free of heavy accessories — allowing the intention of the tailoring to speak for itself.

Building a Legacy of Strategic Met Gala Fashion

While sister Kim Kardashian is known for pushing maximalism at the Met, Kendall has consistently played a different game: opting for sleek, often revealing designs that subtly reference the theme without overwhelming it.

Her past Met Gala highlights include:

• A 1999 archival Givenchy by Alexander McQueen

• A crystal-studded La Perla gown with over 85,000 crystals

• A sheer Givenchy dress with sculpted crystal embellishments

• And last year’s viral “butt crack” bodysuit moment

This year’s Torishéju suit may be more restrained, but it's no less memorable — especially when considering the night’s emphasis on tailoring as a form of cultural and sartorial expression.

Shirtless, Painless, and Perfectly On Trend

Kendall’s look also taps into one of fashion’s favorite red carpet tricks: the “no shirt” power suit. The styling approach has been embraced by everyone from Zendaya to Rihanna in recent seasons — but Jenner’s gray suit renders it freshly tailored for 2025.

With no tie, no bra, and no frills, this look gives her full control of the narrative: modern, confident, and aligned with her understated runway-inspired style.

Her presence at the Met Gala wasn't just about participating — it was about curating a fashion moment grounded in restraint and impact.

What’s Next: After-Party Looks and Bold Moves

While Kendall’s main event look served neutral elegance, fashion fans are already speculating about her after-party ensemble. Last year, she changed into two different outfits and partied alongside ex Bad Bunny, cementing her reputation for surprise second acts.

Whether she goes all out or keeps the minimalism theme alive, it’s safe to say that Kendall Jenner knows exactly how to deliver a Met Gala moment that sticks — with or without a shirt.
