Amid all the Louis Vuitton and Chanel, the online auction house — which sponsored the party — got several high-profile shout-outs on the blue carpet.
What are you wearing?
It’s the most frequently asked question at any red carpet event. At last night’s Met Gala, the theme of which was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” some attendees gave an unusual answer.
“I’m wearing Courrèges and eBay,” said Emma Chamberlain, who was hosting Vogue’s livestream of the glamorous fund-raiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
Jeremy Pope, the actor and singer, was similarly described as wearing a vintage Maison Margiela vest and “custom eBay tailored trousers.”
No, the online resale marketplace known for offering everything from used cars to Pokémon cards has not started a luxury fashion label. Rather, eBay has been one of the official sponsors of the Met Gala since 2024, and the numerous shout-outs to the company before, during and after the splashy event seemed to be a conspicuous reminder.
“I’m here with Burberry, but all of my accessories were sourced on eBay,” Law Roach, the stylist, was quoted as saying in The Hollywood Reporter, referring to a Tiffany brooch, Cartier ring and Patek Philippe watch. “eBay is such a place to find treasures.”
It was Mr. Roach who styled Mr. Pope; the pair were featured in a TikTok video posted yesterday to the official eBay account, which noted how they were “helped by eBay” to source Mr. Pope’s sartorial tribute to Black dandyism.
