What’s the 2025 Met Gala Theme?
This year’s theme, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,’ explores the tradition of Black dandyism, inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion. The dress code is ‘Tailored For You,’ emphasizing menswear and suiting — a significant choice, as it’s the first time since 2003 that the Costume Institute focuses exclusively on menswear.
