J Balvin looked dapper in a salmon-pink vintage suit at the 2025 Met Gala on Monday (May 5). The Colombian superstar stepped out with partner Valentina Ferrer, who looked stunning in a ’70s-inspired structured black and brown polka-dot dress.
It’s not the first time that the reggaetón hitmaker has attended the Met Gala. He made his debut in 2021, where he wore a bold, showstopping Moschino design. He returned in 2022 where he opted for a more classic tuxedo by Ralph Lauren. J Balvin is currently on his Back to the Rayo Tour in the United States with remaining stops in Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland.
Balvin’s interpretation of this year’s Met Gala theme was spot on. Held at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, this year’s Met Gala celebrated the theme of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. The official dress code is “Tailored for You,” a nod to the spring 2025 exhibition’s focus on menswear and is “purposefully designed to provide guidance and invite creative interpretation,” according to Vogue.
Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton served as co-chairs, while LeBron James served as honorary chair. Tyla, Doechii, André 3000, Usher, Janelle Monáe and more also served as members of the costume institute benefit host committee. Other artists who attended the Met Gala 2025 were Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, LISA, Diana Ross, JENNIE and Dua Lipa.
