The Met Gala is a highly anticipated fashion event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, held every first Monday of May. Initially a small gathering in 1948, it has evolved into a grand event under the leadership of Anna Wintour since 1995. Fundraising for the Costume Institute is a priority, with invite-only tickets costing a staggering $75,000. The 2025 theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' curated by Andrew Bolton and inspired by Monica L. Miller's book, examines how tailoring influences Black identities, questioning social hierarchies and representation.
The Met Gala, officially the Costume Institute Benefit, is an extravagant runway event raising funds for the museum's self-funded curatorial department.
This yearâs theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' explores how tailoring has shaped Black identities, inspired by Monica L. Miller's book on Black Dandyism.
