Ed Sheeran’s Met Gala debut was a momentous occasion, marked by a bespoke powder-blue suit from Stella McCartney. The singer-songwriter, known for his laid-back style, stepped outside of his comfort zone with this elegant ensemble.
In an interview, Sheeran shared his excitement about attending the Met Gala for the first time. He acknowledged the stark contrast to his usual attire, which typically consists of hoodies, jeans, and sneakers. The high-fashion lifestyle, he discovered, comes with its own set of challenges, such as body fittings and the temptation to overindulge in food while preparing for the event.
Stella McCartney herself was present to assist Sheeran in getting ready for the gala. She shared charming stories of her own first Met Gala appearance, where she and Liv Tyler famously arrived in matching white gowns. Sheeran expressed his admiration for McCartney’s timeless style and expressed his hope that this custom look would be the first of many he would dazzle in at Met Galas to come.
