The Dress Code
The theme this year is "Tailored for You," reflecting the broader theme of Black style and tailoring. Guests are encouraged to interpret this theme in ways that showcase their personal style and storytelling through fashion. The event celebrates the diversification of suiting and its impact on Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora.
The Exhibit: "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style"
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute's spring exhibition, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," serves as the inspiration for the Met Gala. This exhibition delves into the history of dandyism and its role in shaping Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora. The theme encourages the exploration of historical manifestations of dandyism, from precision and subtlety to grandeur and subversive self-expression.
