Met Gala 2025 Set for May 5, Celebrates Black Tailoring Theme

The 2025 Met Gala will take place on May 5 at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, featuring the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' which honors the legacy and cultural impact of Black dandyism and menswear. Drawing inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s book 'Slaves to Fashion,' the accompanying Costume Institute exhibition will explore Black identity, expression, and history through tailored fashion and visual art, with Miller serving as guest curator. The dress code, 'Tailored for You,' encourages attendees to reinterpret classic menswear in creative ways that celebrate individuality and Black sartorial innovation. Co-chairs include Anna Wintour, Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, and A$AP Rocky, with LeBron James as honorary chair. The event will be live-streamed globally, allowing fans to witness major red carpet moments and star-studded fashion inspired by Black style. This year's gala has garnered praise from celebrities and fashion leaders for its timely focus on the enduring influence of Black culture in fashion.
