On the first Monday of May, Leonardo Fifth Avenue brought the spirit of the Met Gala to Puerto Rico with an exclusive L5A Met Gala Viewing Party, a night where tailoring met tribute, elegance met identity, and fashion made a statement.
Hosted at Todo Vino, the event unfolded on a sleek grey carpet, where guests arrived dressed in bold, tailored looks that honored the 2025 Met Gala theme: Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. The atmosphere was set for a night where every detail was designed with intention.
Live Stream of the Met Gala in New York
From the moment guests stepped into the venue, they were immersed in the magic of the Met. A massive live stream of the 2025 Met Gala in New York played across large screens, setting the tone for the evening. The midnight blue carpet arrivals, the couture, the commentary, all unfolding in real time as our guests, dressed fully on-theme, sipped, mingled, and admired the spectacle from Puerto Rico.
A Tribute to Our Co-Chairs
We honored six visionary leaders whose style and legacy embody the spirit of tailored excellence: Julio Rivera Saniel, Carla Cortijo, Modesto Lacen, Brigitte Davila, Angel “Cucco” Peña, and Tata Cepeda. Their presence elevated the night, a true homage to influence, culture, and identity.
Live Presentation by Tata Cepeda
Bringing tradition to the forefront, Tata Cepeda gave a powerful live performance that gave us movement, rhythm, and heritage. Her presentation was a cultural offering that grounded the evening in history, and Caribbean pride.
FW25 Showcase: SOUL
The centerpiece of the night was the exclusive unveiling of SOUL, Leonardo Fifth Avenue’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection, inspired by the Met Gala’s celebration of Black dandyism and tailored expression. Ten striking looks made their debut, each a tribute to self-expression through silhouette, structure, and soul. From contemporary suiting to bold details, the collection reimagined heritage through a modern lens, designed not just to be worn, but to be remembered.
Interactive Moments
Between cameras and cocktails, guests got their own photo strip, thanks to a roaming photobooth that found you. Three poses, no lines, all style. Nearby, a mini golf setup turned heads, proving you can absolutely swing in a suit, and look good doing it.
Style in Real Time: The Live Vote
As the night unfolded, guests became part of the celebration through a live vote for the Best Dressed of the evening, spotlighting attendees whose looks captured the essence of the theme. A moment of fun, fashion, and friendly competition, the vote gave everyone a front-row seat to the power of personal style.
A Toast to Style
Between curated cocktails and gourmet bites, conversations sparked, connections were made, and creativity was celebrated. Surrounded by clients, designers, influencers, and collaborators, we raised a glass, not just to the art of tailoring, but to the people who wear it with meaning.
At Leonardo Fifth Avenue, tailoring is more than what we do, it’s who we are. Thank you for celebrating this moment with us. Here’s to elegance with purpose, and style with SOUL.
