Here’s Everything We Already Know About The 2025 Met Gala & Exhibit
Every year on the first Monday in May fashion fans come together for the annual invitation-only fundraising gala for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. The annual evening is a celebration of the museum’s upcoming exhibition and arguably the biggest night of the year in fashion, so as soon as the Costume Institute announced the theme of the 2025 Met Gala: "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," social media predictably began the countdown to the big night and the accompanying exhibition. The exhibit will delve into the sartorial legacy of the Black Dandy and explore how clothing has shaped Black identities, largely drawing inspiration from co-curator Monica Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
