Overview

• The 2025 Met Gala, held May 5, spotlighted Black dandyism and menswear with the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' and a 'Tailored for You' dress code.
• Tributes to late Vogue editor André Leon Talley were prominent, including Colman Domingo's Valentino cape and Anne Hathaway's Carolina Herrera ensemble.
• Key red-carpet trends included bodysuits, intricate beauty details like Lupita Nyong’o’s sequined brows, and statement headpieces, though some guests missed the theme’s mark.
• Dozens of first-time attendees, such as Angela Bassett and Jalen Hurts, joined gala veterans, reflecting a diverse and culturally significant guest list.
• Criticism arose over theme misinterpretations, notably Blackpink's Lisa's embroidered bodysuit, which some viewed as a disrespectful homage to Black historical figures.
