The 2025 Met Gala featured a bevy of trends from pinstripe moments to bold jumpsuits. The annual gala, which took place on Monday night in New York City ahead of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring exhibition, was also the site of a few sheer looks.

Ahead, WWD breaks down some of the sheer trends from the 2025 Met Gala.
