The 2025 Met Gala is set to return to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, celebrating its annual fundraising tradition with the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” This year’s event will honor the artistry and cultural influence of Black fashion, with a focus on the legacy of tailoring.
Curated by the Costume Institute, the new exhibition explores the deep-rooted impact of tailoring in Black culture, highlighting craftsmanship, identity, and innovation across generations. It aims to shed light on how tailoring has not only defined individual style but also shaped broader fashion narratives.
Four prominent figures—Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Pharrell Williams—will co-chair the event, alongside longtime Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and honorary chair LeBron James. Their presence reflects the gala’s growing commitment to diverse representation and cultural storytelling.
Following previous themes such as the legacy of Karl Lagerfeld and explorations of American fashion, this year’s focus marks a shift toward celebrating historically underrepresented contributions to the industry.
The Met Gala’s 2025 dress code is described as “intensely personal,” encouraging attendees to interpret the tailoring theme through their own cultural lens and style identities. This personalized approach is expected to produce one of the most dynamic red carpets in recent memory.
The event will be livestreamed by Vogue, offering global audiences an inside look at the arrivals and exclusive coverage throughout the evening. With fashion, music, and culture intersecting, the gala continues to serve as a key moment in the cultural calendar.
