2025 Met Gala Scheduled for May 5 in NYC

The 2025 Met Gala, set for May 5, will bring together celebrities, athletes, and industry leaders at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art to raise funds for the Costume Institute, with this year's theme being 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style', celebrating dandyism and menswear. The event is renowned for its secretive guest list and iconic red carpet moments, with fans eagerly anticipating whether stars like Rihanna, who missed the 2024 gala but is expected due to her partner A$AP Rocky's cochair role, and Taylor Swift, absent since 2019, will appear this year. Fashion enthusiasts are also watching for Zendaya, whose Met Gala looks have consistently wowed audiences since her memorable debut in 2015. The gala is not only about current appearances but also about reflecting on memorable debut looks of celebrities such as Naomi Campbell, Madonna, and Kim Kardashian, whose evolving fashion choices have become part of Met Gala lore. The event remains a major highlight in the fashion calendar, showcasing both the creativity of designers and the personal style transformations of the world's biggest stars.
