Happy first Monday in May to all who celebrate—the 2025 Met Gala is here. The red carpet has been unfurled. Celebrity stylists are taking their first deep breath after months of prep work. And your favorite stars are shuffling up the Met Steps in couture gowns and two-piece suits, ready for fashion’s biggest night.
So, what can you expect? "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" is the 2025 Met Gala's red carpet theme, with a focus on "dandyism"—defined as Black liberation and resistance expressed through meticulous and exuberant fashion—from the 18th century to the present day. Red carpet-wise, that will translate into bespoke tailoring, bold colors, striking prints, and rich textiles. With expected appearances from Met Gala royalty like Zendaya, Janelle Monáe, Rihanna, and formidable style icons like Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, rapper A$AP Rocky, and Academy Award-nominated actor Colman Domingo holding down the fort as co-chairs, fashion excellence is guaranteed.
