Get Ready to Dazzle: Met Gala 2025 Countdown!
New York City is about to be lit up with fashion's biggest night as the Met Gala 2025 approaches! A star-studded celebration of style, this global event will see influential personalities from around the world strutting the red carpet in glamour. From the blend of culture and fashion to the guest list of icons - here's everything you need to know about this prestigious shindig.
What the Heck is Met Gala?
Originally conceived by publicist Eleanor Lambert to support the newly established Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Met Gala is now a fundraising gala presided over by Anna Wintour. Since 1995, it's grown into one of fashion's hottest events. Year by year, it coincides with the institute's annual fashion exhibition.
When's It Going Down?
Every year, the Met Gala lands on the first Monday of May. This year, that's May 5. Vogue India suggests that the annual fashion exhibition will run from May 10 to October 26, 2025. The gala serves as the primary funding source for all activities of the Costume Institute.
Theme Time: Black Style Revolution
This year's theme for the Met Gala, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," is inspired by Monica Miller's 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. Through the lens of Black individuals using fashion to shape new ways of embodiment, the theme aims to celebrate the evolution of Black style across centuries.
Turn Up the Heat, Let's Talk Dress Code!
Staying true to the "Superfine" exhibit, the dress code for the Met Gala 2025 is "Tailored for You." This code honors the menswear focus of the exhibit and invites creative interpretation, allowing for striking suits, custom tailoring, and edgy accessories like top hats to grace the red carpet.
Who's Hosting the Party?
The four headlining hosts of Met Gala 2025 include fashion designer Pharrell Williams, actor Colman Domingo, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, and Grammy-nominated rapper A$AP Rocky. Last year, Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Vogue's Anna Wintour took the reins.
Who's on the Guestlist?
Confirming attendees haven't been officially announced, gossip rags are buzzing with potential appearances by Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan (making his first red-carpet debut) and Rihanna (expected to make a comeback). Expect to see your favorite celebrities, designers, and icons in awe-inspiring outfits designed to reflect the theme.
Around the Phones We Go
