Doechii made her Met Gala debut wearing Louis Vuitton at the 2025 event. However, before her grand entrance, the Grammy-winner made sure to keep her look a mystery. In a viral clip from the evening, the rapper can be heard demanding that her entourage provide her with “more umbrellas” to shield her look from the public as she made her way from her hotel to the Metropolitan Museum venue.
To keep her outfit a secret after almost being fully exposed ahead of the main event, the 26-year-old is covered by a makeshift box crafted from privacy screens. She is also covered by umbrellas due to rainy weather.
“Give me another umbrella, now! I need more f**king umbrellas,” shouted the Florida artist as those assisting her scrambled to keep her dry. As the clip made rounds across social media, fans shared various reactions to the high-pressure moment, with many deeming her behavior as “disrespectful.”
One X user described the moment on the social media app, writing, “Not enough people are talking about how DISRESPECTFUL doechii is being in this video. Talk about dystopian. Who tf treats staff members like this?? This is not okay.”
Another popular response came to Doechii’s defense and asserted, “Yall have never met a true diva and it shows… this is light work and honestly can’t blame a girl for demanding her moment be correct.”
One account invalidated the “Anxiety” performer’s behavior based on their critique of her look, writing, “the look didn’t require all of this — by far.”

Despite the hassle leaving the hotel, Doechii arrived to the Met Gala, honoring the Superfine: Tailoring Black Style theme.
“I was heavily inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book and the exhibit,” detailed the chart-topper, according to DAZED. “We studied a little bit on this character called Julius Soubise which really stood out to me. I feel very inspired by him tonight.”
The full details of her outfit are explained by VOGUE as a Pharrell Williams–designed Louis Vuitton short suit with a monogram tuxedo jacket and shorts in its signature damier pattern. The rapper’s soft glam makeup was accented by prosthetic Louis Vuitton branding on her cheek. Accessories included a cigar, knee-high socks and platformed loafers.
