Lacoste at the Met Gala 2025: Crafting Iconic Elegance for Venus Williams

On May 5, 2025, Lacoste stepped onto fashion’s grandest stage for the very first time—the Met Gala. In honor of this year’s theme, Black Dandyism, the Maison unveiled a couture creation worn by the legendary Venus Williams. A bold, embodied silhouette imagined by Creative Director Pelagia Kolotouros, blending heritage, craftsmanship, and power. From 30 meters of pleated fabric to over 100,000 hand-applied embellishments, the ensemble was a tribute to Venus’ legacy and to Lacoste’s evolving womenswear vision. Also in attendance: Pelagia Kolotouros, in a custom-tailored suit crowned with a three-dimensional crocodile—an emblem of audacity and French savoir-faire. A milestone moment. A statement of style. A celebration of identity. #Lacoste #MetGala2025 #VenusWilliams #PelagiaKolotouros #HauteCouture #BlackDandyism #FashionHeritage #LacosteCouture Subscribe to our channel: https://youtube.com/c/Lacoste Follow Lacoste on Instagram: http://laco.st/instagram Follow Lacoste on Facebook: http://laco.st/facebook Follow Lacoste on Twitter: http://laco.st/twitter Follow Lacoste on Snapchat: http://laco.st/snapchat
