Mon May 05 22:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Met Gala 2025: A Celebration of Black Style in Menswear
**New York City** – The fashion world’s biggest night, the Met Gala, returns on Monday, May 5th, 2025, with a focus on celebrating Black style and menswear. This year’s event, co-chaired by Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, A$AP Rocky, and LeBron James, is themed “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book on Black dandyism. This marks the first time in over two decades that the Met Gala will exclusively spotlight menswear.
The “Tailored for You” dress code encourages guests to explore the rich history and evolution of Black style through the centuries. The Costume Institute’s exhibition, which the gala supports, examines this influence from the 18th century to the present day.
Vogue editor Anna Wintour, alongside the star-studded co-chairs, will oversee the event. A diverse host committee, featuring Simone Biles, Spike Lee, Ayo Edebiri, and numerous other prominent figures from the worlds of sports, film, music, and literature, will also contribute to the celebration.
The gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will be a star-studded affair, with the red-carpet arrivals beginning around 6 PM EST. While the event itself is private, extensive media coverage is anticipated, with live streams available on Vogue’s platforms, Peacock, E!, and various social media channels. The BBC News website will also provide a live blog.
Tickets for the exclusive event, which typically hosts around 450 guests, are reportedly priced at $75,000 individually, with tables costing significantly more. Proceeds benefit the Met’s Costume Institute. The Met Gala is expected to generate significant buzz and provide a platform for showcasing high fashion and raising funds for a vital cultural institution.
