Usher just moonwalked into the 2025 Met Gala like he owned the place—and brought his stunning wife Jenn Goicoechea as his equally iconic plus-one! The man didn’t just walk the red carpet, he practically serenaded it.
At a sprightly 46 years young (aka still aging backwards), Usher Raymond IV reminded everyone he’s still got it, as he made a rare public appearance with Jenn, looking like a couple who stepped out of a time-traveling R\&B fantasy. And just when the fashion elite thought it was safe to sip their sparkling cucumber spritzers in peace—BOOM!—Usher snatched the mic and surprise performed inside the event. Surprise, rich people! Your exclusive soirée just turned into an Usher concert.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get more legendary… STEVIE FREAKIN’ WONDER joined him on stage. That’s right—Usher and Stevie tag-teamed the Met like musical superheroes in tuxedos. The Met Gala hasn’t seen that much soul since someone played an Aretha Franklin playlist on accident in 2018.
Now let’s talk about Usher’s outfit, because this man did not come to play. He showed up dipped in so much velvet and swagger, it’s a miracle the fabric didn’t combust from all that hotness. He rocked a custom Ralph Lauren Purple Label velvet topcoat, a tux jacket, a tux trouser, a vest, a tux shirt, a bowtie, a scarf, a pocket square, silk socks, and crocodile tassel loafers—because obviously, one regular tux just isn’t enough for Mr. Confessions. He even had a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch and jewelry by Fred Leighton and Kwiat. Translation: he looked like a Grammy came to life and learned how to strut.
Jenn? Oh, she was out there slaying in Sergio Hudson, looking like she just left a Vogue cover shoot to casually collect compliments.
Moral of the story? Usher showed up, showed out, and showed everyone that he’s still got moves, grooves, and a wardrobe that could silence Anna Wintour herself.
Should we start calling him Met Gala Daddy now, or…? 😏
