2025 Met Gala Celebrates Menswear, Black Style

The 2025 Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, centers on the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' inspired by Monica L. Miller's book on Black dandyism and its role in Black identity and resistance. This year's dress code emphasizes menswear and invites guests and designers to interpret Black style through tailored fashion. Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, and Anna Wintour serve as co-chairs, with LeBron James as honorary cochair and Louis Vuitton as a cosponsor. The event highlights the historical significance of Black dandyism as both a cultural movement and an act of resistance against systemic racism. The Met Gala remains one of the most anticipated and exclusive nights in fashion, with widespread attention on how celebrities will interpret and honor the theme. The Costume Institute’s related spring exhibition opens to the public on May 10, 2025.
