PHOTOS: 2025 Met Gala pays homage to Black history, influence on style - News
This year’s Met Gala theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which pays homage to the history and cultural influence of Black style, especially the 18th century dandy.
Every spring, three things are sure to happen: Flowers bloom, rain pours and celebrities take over the Upper East Side for the annual Met Gala!
This year’s theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which pays homage to the history and cultural influence of Black style, especially the 18th century dandy. Dandyism is a fashion movement out of the 1700s, steeped in a rich history of resistance and a celebration of Black individuality.
This year’s co-chairs of the annual fundraiser at the Metropolitan Museum of Art are actor Colman Domingo, racer Lewis Hamilton, rapper A$AP Rocky, producer extraordinaire Pharrell Williams and American Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour. LeBron James will serve as honorary chair.
