While I was personally hoping Charli XCX would show up to the 2025 Met Gala wearing a green dress with “Brat Summer 2025” written on it, she went with a slightly more on-theme outfit. The Grammy winner interpreted the “Tailored for You” dress code at the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”–themed night with a custom black feathered Ann Demeulemeester outfit.

Charli recently reflected on the staying power of brat, saying on TikTok, “It’s really hard to let go of ‘brat’ and let go of this thing that is so inherently me and become my entire life, you know? And I started thinking about culture and the kind of ebbs and flows of the lifespan of things and how when you get a level of success, you can kind of become oversaturated and then people want you to disappear, which I understand.”
She added, “I also find it interesting that you’re kind of like this underdog, and then you go on this journey of success, and people are on it with you, and then you reach this new level of success. Some people are very happy for you, but other people are then like, ‘Actually, wait, no, you must be stupid. You must be a vessel for other people’s ideas. Otherwise, how would you have done this, you silly woman?. And I’m like, my god, I wish it was like that, because then it would be easier to just let go. I wouldn’t care.”
