Moncler made a striking debut at the Met Gala, stepping onto fashion\u2019s most iconic stage for the very first time.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In a celebration of craftsmanship and style, Genius co-creator Edward Enninful<\/a> and Moncler Chairman and CEO Remo Ruffini hosted a curated lineup of cultural icons and friends of the brand, dressed in bespoke Moncler designs<\/a>.
\nAmong the distinguished guests from the worlds of fashion, sport, and entertainment were Serena Williams, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, Vittoria Ceretti, Fei Fei Sun, Colin Kaepernick, and Nessa Diab.<\/p>\n

Inspired by this year\u2019s Met Gala theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, Edward Enninful crafted bespoke looks that reinterpreted traditional tailoring through the lens of Moncler\u2019s iconic design language \u2014 from dramatic puffer silhouettes and boudin quilting to outerwear reimagined as eveningwear.<\/p>\n

The evening\u2019s connections ran deeper than couture \u2014 it was a celebration of co-creation and community. Friends of the brand and of Edward Enninful were called upon to bring that spirit to life, each look serving as the designer\u2019s personal interpretation of Moncler codes.<\/p>\n

In September, that relationship comes full circle with the global debut of Moncler x EE72 by Edward Enninful, the celebrated visionary\u2019s first collection, previewed at last year\u2019s immersive City of Genius event in Shanghai.<\/p>\n

Enninful\u2019s Met Gala creations offered a glimpse into the collection \u2014 and a bold hint at what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n

Former NFL athlete and civil rights activist Colin Kaepernick wore a bespoke three-piece suit with a draped cape in vibrant burgundy check, designed by renowned tailor Ozwald Boateng, in close dialogue with Edward Enninful and Moncler. To craft the look, Boateng began by exploring Colin\u2019s essence \u2014 drawing on themes of pride, stability, and honor.
\nThe final ensemble strikes a powerful balance between strength and vulnerability: a sharply tailored, traditionally masculine suit softened by the fluidity and grace of the cape, draped with deliberate elegance.<\/p>\n

Nessa Diab<\/strong>

Paying homage to Moncler\u2019s storied outerwear legacy, TV and radio host Nessa Diab wore a cropped cape in the brand\u2019s signature nylon laqu\u00e9, its sculptural silhouette defined by iconic boudin quilting and finished with a distinctive Moncler x EE72 by Edward Enninful logo patch.<\/p>\n

She layered the cape over a gown by designer Chuks Collins \u2014 a statement piece from his Spring\/Summer 2025 Nn\u00e9 Collection, titled An Ode to Mama, which honors maternal strength, legacy, and the artistry passed down through generations.<\/p>\n

Reimagined for the Met Gala through the lens of this year\u2019s theme, the gown blends the heritage of dandyism with a soulful narrative of identity and ancestry. Crafted in deep black silk faille, it features an elongated, corset-inspired bodice with tailored vertical silk velvet seaming \u2014 evoking the structured elegance of 19th-century dandy waistcoats \u2014 while a gathered, architectural skirt brings sculptural drama, nodding to archival silhouettes with a distinctly modern, feminine power.<\/p>\n
