What is the theme of the 2025 Met Gala?
Announced in October, the Met Gala theme will reflect the Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition: “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” The exhibition draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. It is organized into 12 sections that each represent a characteristic defining dandy style — Ownership, Presence, Distinction, Disguise, Freedom, Champion, Respectability, Jook (defined in Zora Neale Hurston’s Characteristics of Negro Expression —an important reference for the exhibiton—as a space for dancing, drinking, and other leisure activities), Heritage, Beauty, Cool, and Cosmopolitanism.
The dress code, announced in February, is “Tailored for You,” which focuses on the exhibition’s centering of menswear and suits.
Who is hosting the Met Gala 2025?
Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton and A$AP Rocky will cochair the 2025 Met Gala alongside Anna Wintour. LeBron James will also serve as honorary chair.
