What to Know About the 2025 Met Gala
Briefly

The 2025 Met Gala is approaching, themed 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' which will celebrate the 'Black dandy' counter-colonial style. This theme connects to Monica L. Miller's book "Slaves to Fashion" and highlights the significance of fashion in Black culture. As in previous years, attendees are expected to showcase their interpretation of the theme, which often sparks public and media interest. The gala serves as not just a fashion event but a cultural reflection on identity and style, emphasizing the importance of expression, especially within the Black community.
Black people are known for 'stylin' out,' dressing to the nines, showing their sartorial stuff, especially when the occasion calls for it and, more tellingly, often when it does not.
The theme of the night is based around the Costume Institute's newest exhibit, and while it is not a requirement to dress to theme, the internet demands it.
