Met Gala 2025 Highlights: A Comprehensive Guide to the Night Fashion Enthusiasts Await
Lights, Camera, Fashion! Met Gala 2025: A Glitzy Comeback
Get ready for a dazzling spectacle, folks! The Met Gala 2025 is making a grand return to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5th. This star-studded event promises to deliver some major fashion statements as it honors the debonair flair of Black menswear through the ages.
This year's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," aligns with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Spring 2025 exhibition. The institute describes the theme as a deep dive into Black style over three centuries, specifically examining dandyism—a cultural and historical concept. Inspiration for the theme comes from Monica L. Miller's 2009 book, "Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity." The fashion exhibit will explore the multicultural blend of African and European styles that shaped Black identity during the Atlantic diaspora. The exhibition is organized into 12 sections, each representing a characteristic that defines dandy style.
The 2025 Met Gala co-chairs are Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and NBA star LeBron James, with Anna Wintour reprising her role as presiding co-chair. The host committee includes notable personalities such as Usher, Regina King, Spike Lee, Simone Biles, husband Jonathan Owens, Janelle Monáe, Doechii, and many more.
The dress code for the evening is "Tailored for You," offering attendees a chance to put a personal twist on the classy essence of dandyism. The code pays tribute to the exhibition's menswear focus and encourages creative interpretation.
At the event, more than 450 guests will be asked to leave their phones behind once they enter the museum. Expect cocktails, dinner, overseen by chef Kwame Onwuachi, and a high-profile performer or two. The star-studded audience will also have an opportunity to explore the exhibition.
For those unable to attend, the official Met Gala livestream will be broadcast across Vogue's digital platforms, including the magazine's official YouTube channel, starting at 6 p.m. EST.
Among the confirmed attendees are the event's leadership team and select guests, including Chloë Sevigny, Joey King, Clairo (performing), Miranda Kerr, and Rihanna (given A$AP Rocky's co-chair role). Other possibilities include Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Lady Gaga, Zendaya, and Beyoncé, based on past attendance patterns. Shah Rukh Khan is also rumored to make his debut at the event.
