André 3000 knows how to make an entrance. The fashion-forward rapper hit the 2025 Met Gala carpet literally wearing a piano on his back—and he wasn’t the only Hip-Hop favorite flexing on the red carpet, which was actually blue.

As HHW has previously noted, the 2025 Met Gala’s theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” directly inspired by Monica L. Miller’s, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. Black Dandyism has a rich history and amounts to Black people going all out in expressing their creativity, giving white supremacy the finger, and asserting their humanity by donning some epically fresh clothing.

The evening’s celebrity co-chairs were Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky and Pharrell Williams and they all understood the assignment, delivering some stunning looks. But 3 Stacks may have stolen all their shine thanks to his choice in attire. Coincidentally, shortly after the OutKast rapper hit the carpet in a Burberry-designed outfit, his label Epic Records released his new album called 7 piano sketches—thus the big ass (relatively) piano on his back. Don’t expect any new fire rap verses though, since as the title implies, it’s strictly André 3000 on the keys.

Nevertheless, 3 Stacks still have some heavy competition as Future, Doechii and Pusha T are just some of the Hip-Hop heavyweights who understood the night’s assignment and brought the sartorial fire to the event.

See for yourself in the gallery.

Where do you even store a portable piano like that?
