2025 Met Gala Theme: Tailoring Black Style

The 2025 Met Gala will take place on May 5, with the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' inspired by Monica L. Miller's book on Black Dandyism. The event will explore the historical and cultural significance of Black men's style and its impact on identity across the Atlantic diaspora. Co-chairs include Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and A$AP Rocky, with LeBron James serving as honorary chair. The decision to focus on Black style reflects a broader cultural shift following the Black Lives Matter movement, highlighting diversity and representation in fashion. Concerns about cultural appropriation have been raised, but many anticipate a celebration of Black creativity on the red carpet. The exhibition will be curated by Andrew Bolton and guest curator Monica L. Miller at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.
