The Met Gala 2025 will highlight black dandyism

The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Wednesday unveiled the official exhibition and theme for this year's Gala: 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.'

The Costume Institute's spring 2025 exhibition, inspired by Monica L. Miller's book 'Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity,' will delve into how sartorial style has shaped Black identities throughout the Atlantic diaspora.

The exhibition will explore the cultural and historical significance of black dandyism from its roots in 18th century Europe to the present day. The story of the black dandy will be shared through a variety of media, including clothing and accessories, drawings and prints, paintings, photographs, film clips and more.

The 2025 Met Gala will take place on May 5, 2025 in New York City and will be co-chaired by Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour, with LeBron James on honorary. chair.

The dress code for the evening will be announced in early 2025. After the gala, the exhibition will be open from May 6 to October 26, 2025.
