Met Gala 2025: Experts predict fashion trends for event theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style'

The 2025 Met Gala, taking place at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, features the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' with a dress code emphasizing tailored looks inspired by Black dandyism. Fashion experts predict this year's event will pivot away from the revealing gowns of previous Galas, instead spotlighting sharp menswear-inspired tailoring for women, reflecting recent runway trends and the influence of new male style icons. The all-male host committee includes Colman Domingo, ASAP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and Lewis Hamilton, with Domingo predicted by stylists to deliver a standout look. Notable first-time attendees are expected, such as LeBron James and Doechii, while rumors swirl about possible appearances by stars like Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Kim Kardashian is also tipped as a potential showstopper if she channels classic icons like Josephine Baker. The focus on tailored ensembles aligns with both the theme's celebration of Black fashion and the current fashion climate, which favors sophisticated suiting over extravagant ball gowns.
