The first Monday in May is a long time away — but that's not stopping Vogue from revealing the plan for the 2025 Met Gala .

Now, you may or may not know that every year's Met Gala theme is specifically tied to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute's Spring exhibition.

The Spring 2025 exhibition — and, by extension, the overarching theme of the 2025 Met Gala — is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style .

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2pG0aR_0w0ePw5500 — The exhibit is inspired by Barnard Professor of Africana Studies Monica L. Miller's 2009 book *Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity* . According to Vogue, the museum will highlight "garments, paintings, photographs, and more — all exploring the indelible style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th-century through present day." As Marie Claire points out, it's the first-ever exhibit to highlight dandyism and the influence on style that Black men have held.

But wait — that's not all! LeBron James will also serve as the 2025 Met Gala's honorary chair.

The event will also serve as LeBron's Met Gala debut — so, let's see if he makes a "slam dunk" with his sartorial choices, ha ha ha.

Anyway! Enough corny jokes from me. See you in May!
