The first Monday in May means Met Gala night and the 2025 event was to launch the latest Costume Institute exhibition, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style', which explores the rich history and cultural significance of Black Dandyism. Both the theme and the exhibition are largely inspired by Author Monica Miller's 2009 research on Black dandyism and the styling of Black identity.
The dress code for the evening was 'Tailored for You', but as always, the outfit theme for the night is left open to interpretation, ensuring that the fashion show that commences down red carpet is a sight to behold. From the seriously extravagant, to elegantly tailored creations, the breadth of experimentation was staggering, but it was Anne Hathaway's ensemble, by designer Carolina Herrera that felt like the sort of look you could pluck off the carpet and slide straight into your wardrobe. Yes, really.
