It’s been a big year for Coco Jones, to say the least. On the heels of her debut album Why Not More? and of course, her first Glamour cover, the singer found the time to attend fashion and beauty’s biggest night of the year: the Met Gala. Walking the Met Gala 2025 red carpet, Jones made an iconic and absolutely fierce entrance in a low-cut cream-colored suit jacket, complete with lace embroidery and pearls all over.

But her dazzling outfit isn’t all we’re looking at: We’re laser-focused on her ultra-long braid. The XXL hairdo is hard to miss. Simply put, it’s so long it nearly reaches the ground. Her hair is slicked back for a snatched look, except for a delicately placed hair swooping over onto her forehead. We love a braid, and XXL tresses are super in lately, so it’s safe to say she’s seriously on trend here.

The breakout star is standing out among a night full of glitz and glamour, and for good reason: Her mesmerizing outfit complete with fine embroidery combined with her glam has us already thinking she’s got one of the best looks of the Met Gala 2025. Opting for a soft glam makeup look with a snatched eye and a nude lip, her glowing skin is on full display (can she drop the skin care routine, please?) and the super-long braid is totally stealing the show.

This year, the Met Gala 2025 Costume exhibition theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” while the dress code for the event is “Tailored for You.” So if a look is exquisitely tailored, then it’s on theme. To really get into the details of it all, the Met Costume Department’s exhibit is focusing on the “black dandy” and high-end menswear. Coco Jones majorly leans into this with her pants-and-coat combo that proves her look (all the way down to her XXL braid) is the picture of high-end.
