Met Gala 2025: After Getting Dragged Over Outfit, Ayra Starr Returns with Sultry Sheer Party Dress

• Ayra Starr never would have thought she would get the dragging of her life over her choice of outfit to the Met Gala
• The Mavin Records signee was called all sorts of names for not making the most of her Met Gala debut
• To prove naysayers wrong, Ayra made sure she slayed at the after party by rocking a glittery dress that stole the spotlight

Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, widely known as Ayra Starr, has been trending non-stop over her outfit at the 2025 Met Gala.

Ayra Starr, who was recently slammed with mouth odour allegations, joined other Nigerian music stars, such as Tems and Burna Boy, to grace the prestigious occasion with their presence.

Although the theme of this year's event was 'Tailored For You,' fans thought Ayra could have done better in representing Nigeria.

They called her outfit tacky and rushed, while praising other looks, such as South Africa's Tyla and Tems'. The after party kicked off the same night, and Ayra Starr came out to slay. After getting bashed so hard, Ayra Starr wasn't going to miss the moment to reclaim her shine.

She shunned online haters as she stepped out in a sheer halter-neck shimmery dress that turned heads. Although it exposed some parts of her chest, fans seemed to love every detail.

At the 2025 Met Gala, some of the country’s favourites were present in their stunning outfits, from Chimamanda Adichie and Burna Boy to Ayra Starr, Tems, Ayo Edebiri, Damson Idris and Cynthia Erivo.

This year's fashion theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," honoured African dandyism and its profound impact globally.
