Fashion girlies, rise—the first Monday of May is finally here, and we're just hours away from the 2025 Met Gala. As superstars across fashion and entertainment arrive at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in N.Y.C. for the biggest red carpet of the year, pop culture enthusiasts can follow along from the comfort of their own homes or watch parties.
This year, the benefit fundraising for The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute is inspired by the exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. To celebrate the first-ever museum exhibit exploring dandyism and "the role of sartorial style in forming Black identities," the "Tailored for You" dress code calls for "inspired takes" on suiting and menswear, so expect impeccably-styled looks that take inspiration from refined Black men throughout the African diaspora, from "jazz musicians in the 1940s...and Congolese sapeurs," to the late legend Andre Leon Tally.
