What happened to Doechii before Met Gala 2025?

Before the 2025 Met Gala, cameras captured Doechii yelling at her team while leaving The Mark Hotel.

As she prepared to leave for the event, she grew frustrated when they failed to properly shield her outfit from being seen. In a video published by PEOPLE, Doechii stepped off an elevator and quickly moved behind a clothing rack her team held up to conceal her Met Gala look.

In another clip, Doechii, hidden behind coverings, shouted, “I need more f—— umbrellas,” while demanding additional umbrellas for coverage. She ordered her team to hold the umbrellas in place and seemingly cursed as she exited. Bystanders watched the commotion as the rapper tried to keep her ensemble hidden before her Met Gala debut.

Doechii later appeared at the Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing a Louis Vuitton look designed by Pharrell Williams. The ensemble included a monogrammed blazer with coattails, checkered trouser shorts, a mini Louis Vuitton Speedy bag, and a cigar accessory. Her hairstyle featured a voluminous Afro, in line with the evening’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

Speaking to PEOPLE after the event, Doechii said her outfit reflected a blend of masculine and feminine aesthetics, describing it as “challenging norms in a stylish and gangster way.” Leading up to the gala, Doechii paid tribute to fashion icon André Leon Talley by recreating one of his signature tennis looks that mixed sportswear with high fashion.

Notably, other celebrities also encountered pre-gala issues. A security guard tripped over Kim Kardashian’s train, and Sabrina Carpenter reacted when someone stepped on her gown on the red carpet.
