When is the Met Gala 2025?
The Met Gala takes place on the first Monday in May each year. That means the Met Gala 2025 will take place on Monday, May 5, 2025.
What is the Met Gala 2025 theme?
The Met Gala 2025 theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” According to Vogue, it's inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. While there haven't been many details about how this applies to the dress code, Vogue revealed that the exhibit will explore “style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th century through present.”
What is the Met Gala dress code?
Vogue announced the official dress code on 4 February, 2025. In line with the theme, focusing on dandyism, the dress code is “Tailored for You." As stated by the Met the dress code is a nod to the exhibition’s focus on menswear and is “purposefully designed to provide guidance and invite creative interpretation.” The dress code is supposed to encourage guests to embrace their personal style through tailored silhouettes, reimagining the world of menswear.
