Chappell Roan's Met Gala Look to Be Auctioned on EBay to Support LGBTQIA+ Youth
Chappell Roan's 2025 Met Gala look will be auctioned off on Thursday through eBay's From the Collection series. The Grammy Award-winning singer wore the ensemble on May 5 at the annual Met Gala event, for which the theme was 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.'
All proceeds from the auction will benefit the Ali Forney Center, which was chosen by Roan. The advocacy organization, founded in 2002, supports LGBTQIA+ and at-risk youth with their 24-hour programs through transitional housing, job readiness training and more, per the Ali Forney Center's official website.

Roan's upcycled 2025 Met Gala look was designed by Academy Award-winning 'Wicked' costume designer Paul Tazewell, using vintage pieces sourced from eBay, along with accessories curated by the 'Pink Pony Club' singer's stylist, Genesis Webb.
'My incredible suit tonight was designed by the incomparable Paul Tazewell,' Roan said of the look. 'My entire outfit is fully upcycled from individual eBay items. The entire team worked so hard and I am beyond grateful to wear a garment that has had so many lives before me.'
Pieces featured on the auction will include Roan's custom pants, blazer and the boots created by Tazewell for her debut Met Gala look from earlier this year. A luxury watch and ring worn by the singer will also feature as part of the auction.
EBay's From the Collection series features exclusive drops from the closets of fashion's most influential figures. The auction of items from Roan's 2025 Met Gala look coincides with Pride Month.
EBay recently expanded its collaborations with high-profile figures in May. The e-commerce company partnered with Winnie Harlow ahead of the Miami Grand Prix to auction pre-loved fashion and a custom Porsche. EBay previously partnered with Elton John for an auction in June 2024.
