When Is The Met Gala 2025?
Mark your calendars: Met Gala 2025 is happening on Monday, May 5th, 2025.
Traditionally held on the first Monday of May, the event kickstarts the annual Costume Institute exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Expect the fashion frenzy to start by evening in NYC, which means your social media will be flooded with looks by early morning on May 6 in India and other time zones.
What’s The Dress Code For The Met Gala 2025?
The theme for the 2025 Costume Institute exhibition and Met Gala is ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ – a powerful celebration of Black fashion, culture, and craftsmanship, with a sharp focus on tailoring as an art form.
So, What Does The Dress Code Mean?
Expect to see a bold homage to Black excellence in fashion – highlighting the legacy of master tailors, the evolution of Black dandyism, and the innovative silhouettes born out of resilience, rebellion, and reinvention.
On the red carpet, this could translate to:
- Sharp, sculpted suits and exaggerated silhouettes
- Velvet, silk, and suiting fabrics reimagined in high fashion
- Afro-futuristic glam with a sartorial edge
- Statement hats, gold accents, and nods to heritage wear
- Looks inspired by iconic Black designers, from Dapper Dan to Patrick Kelly
This year’s dress code is expected to spark a revolution of style, sophistication, and storytelling – one that goes beyond aesthetics to shine a spotlight on cultural history and identity.
