The Met Gala 2025 is right here—and on this primary Monday in May, trend followers not fortunate sufficient to be invited to purple carpet of the 12 months collect round their computer systems to debate a easy query: Who caught to the theme?
This 12 months, the Met Gala 2025 Costume exhibition theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” whereas the costume code for the occasion is “Tailored for You.” So if a glance was exquisitely tailor-made, then technically it is on theme.
However, if you wish to get into particulars (and naturally we do), the Costume Department’s exhibit is specializing in the “black dandy” and high-end menswear; per Vogue, the exhibition is “organized into 12 sections, every representing a attribute that defines dandy model: Ownership, Presence, Distinction, Disguise, Freedom, Champion, Respectability, Jook (outlined in Zora Neale Hurston’s ‘Characteristics of Negro Expression’—an necessary reference for the exhibition—as an area for dancing, consuming, and different leisure actions), Heritage, Beauty, Cool, and Cosmopolitanism.” Those who actually understood the project will think about the tradition and historical past behind the black dandy and costume accordingly.
In addition to perennial chair Anna Wintour, this 12 months’s co-chairs are Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Pharrell Williams, together with honorary chair LeBron James. The “host committee,” contains André 3000, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Jordan Casteel, Dapper Dan, Doechii, Ayo Edebiri, Edward Enninful, Jeremy O. Harris, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Rashid Johnson, Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis Lee, Audra McDonald, Janelle Monáe, Jeremy Pope, Angel Reese, Sha’Carri Richardson, Tyla, Usher, and Kara Walker.
