Sofia Richie Grainge made her highly anticipated return to the Met Gala red carpet tonight in a custom white gown by Tommy Hilfiger. While the dress appeared to consist of a simple, short sleeve design from the front, it turned out to be far more dramatic in the back. When Richie Grainge turned around in front of cameras, she revealed a cut-out around her shoulder blades and, more notably, a giant white bow at the back of her waist.
She kept her hair in a neat updo to ensure those stunning details were on full display.
This marks Richie Grainge’s first appearance at fashion’s biggest night since 2017. She skipped last year’s event, as she was near the end of her pregnancy with daughter Eloise Samantha Grainge, who was born in May 2024.
Her reemergence tonight is also a continuation of her collaboration with the American heritage brand. She co-designed a capsule collection with Hilfiger in March, and has starred in some of the label’s previous campaigns.
In an interview with ELLE UK, Richie Grainge reflected on how working on the Tommy Hilfiger collection helped her reconnect with her personal style postpartum. “I feel like I’m back to where I was [style-wise] before I was pregnant,” she said. “I’m in a really creative place right now, so I was excited to be able to really collaborate rather than just be the face of the collection.”
Richie Grainge has long been recognized for popularizing a polished, understated aesthetic—one that leans on crisp silhouettes and quiet luxury staples.
Since becoming a mother, Richie Grainge has continued to expand her creative footprint. She’s launched a children’s collection with Amazon Essentials and regularly speaks about her experience balancing motherhood with her career. In her first postpartum interview with The Wall Street Journal, she noted that her priorities have shifted, but her style and work ethic remain steady: “If I’ve gotta go to fashion week, then [my daughter’s] going to pack her bags and come with me. If she can’t, then I’m not going to be able to make it.”
Richie Grainge and her record executive husband married in 2023 and welcomed their daughter, Eloise, a year later.
Their star-studded wedding at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in the South of France captivated the internet and cemented Richie Grainge’s status as a fashion icon. The multi-day celebration featured three custom Chanel looks and drew guests like Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton, and Cameron Diaz. The event became one of the most talked-about weddings of the year, reflecting Richie Grainge’s growing influence as both a style figure and creative force.
