On May 5, 2025, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York transformed into a vibrant celebration of Black elegance and sartorial excellence. The Met Gala’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” paid homage to the rich history and cultural significance of Black dandyism, a movement where fashion becomes a form of resistance, identity, and artistry.

This year’s dress code, “Tailored for You,” invited attendees to interpret the theme through personalized expressions of style, resulting in a red carpet adorned with bespoke ensembles, bold patterns, and intricate details that honored the legacy of Black fashion icons.
