Saturday Style: #METRaya2025 Progress 2.0

As we inch closer to #METRaya2025, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve made some solid progress on my Raya looks for this year! So far, I’ve completed two out of the three outfits I’ve been planning, and I’m feeling pretty proud of myself. At least now I know I’ll have something to wear for the first and second day of Raya celebrations—whew!

The first two looks were relatively easier to put together because they only required me to focus on creating the tops. But let me tell you, the third and final look? It’s shaping up to be one of my most ambitious projects to date. If you’ve been following my journey, you’ll know that this year’s theme is “Fashion Houses.” That’s right—I’m drawing inspiration from three of my favorite fashion houses to create my Raya looks.

I haven’t revealed which fashion houses I’m channeling just yet, but I promise to spill the details once I’ve completed the final look. Honestly, this last project is both exciting and nerve-wracking. Pulling inspiration from such iconic brands is no small feat, and I know I won’t be able to fully live up to their standards. But hey, this is my take on their artistry, and I’m treating it as a creative challenge to push my skills to the next level.

If I’m being real, this third look could either be a masterpiece or a total tragedy—there’s no in-between. So, I’m asking for all the positive vibes and prayers as I power through this final stretch. It’s going to take a lot of late nights, meticulous planning, and maybe a few cups of coffee (or tea, if I’m feeling fancy) to get it done.

I’m genuinely excited about this project because it’s pushing me out of my comfort zone. Taking inspiration from such big names in fashion is intimidating, but it’s also incredibly inspiring. I think once I reveal the final looks, you’ll be able to guess which fashion houses I’ve been channeling. Until then, wish me luck—I’m going to need it!

Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s hope I can pull off this third look without any major hiccups. Here’s to a stylish and meaningful #METRaya2025!
