The MET Gala is an annual fundraising event for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City where celebrities, designers, and cultural icons show up dressed to embody a specific theme that aligns with the Costume Institute’s newest exhibit.
This year's theme for 2025 is Black Style and dandyism.
Originating in the 18th and 19th centuries, dandyism is a cultural and aesthetic movement that champions elegance, refinement, and self-expression — particularly through clothing. But for Black men, especially in the Atlantic diaspora, dandyism wasn’t just style — it was resistance. A way to reclaim power, pride, and identity in the face of oppression.
This year's theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, centers around Black excellence, Black creativity, and Black identity. It explores how Black individuals across the U.S. and Europe have used fashion not just to express themselves, but to rewrite the narrative.
