"Hate to miss an historical event! My beautiful powerful Queen will be there holding the castle down as she always has done!"

Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour were named co-chairs for the event.
The theme for the Met Gala is inspired by the annual spring exhibition, which is based on Monica L. Millerâs book "Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity."Â
The exhibit itself, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," draws on other sources beyond the book. Itâs organized into a dozen sections, symbolizing a characteristic of dandy style as defined by Zora Neale Hurston in her 1934 essay, "Characteristics of Negro Expression."
