Supermodel and style icon Tyson Beckford made a strong statement at the 2025 Met Gala—not with extravagance, but with refined simplicity. Beckford arrived on the famed steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art exuding timeless sophistication in a crisp white coat paired with tailored black slacks, both from Ralph Lauren’s prestigious Purple Label collection.
While many guests embraced the gala’s theme with dramatic and avant-garde ensembles, Beckford stood out by embracing the power of classic menswear. The white coat—structured yet fluid—brought a refreshing contrast to the sea of ornate couture, while the black slacks grounded the look with sharp elegance. Polished black shoes and minimal accessories completed the outfit, allowing the impeccable tailoring to speak for itself.
Known for his iconic presence in the fashion world since the 1990s, Beckford reminded everyone that confidence and charisma are the ultimate accessories.

Tyson’s look was praised widely across fashion circles and social media, with fans applauding the model for staying true to his style while delivering a masterclass in understated glamour.
“Sometimes less is more,” Beckford said in a quick interview on the carpet. “It’s all about feeling good in what you wear and letting the clothes enhance who you already are.”
In a night filled with theatrical fashion, Tyson Beckford proved that poise, presence, and timeless style never go out of fashion.
