The 2025 Met Gala Theme (And Celebrity Co-Chairs) Have Been Announced

You might not already be thinking about the 2025 Met Gala, but you know the teams at Vogue and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute surely have been. And this morning they announced the Costume Institute’s 2025 exhibition and accompanying Met Gala theme, “Superfine: Tailoring in Black Style.”

Vogue cites Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity as inspiration and basis for the theme. They’ve also announced that Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour will co-chair the 2025 Met Gala with honorary chair LeBron James.

The theme will explore Black men in fashion, contextualized by dandyism. Louis Vuitton will be a co-sponsor of the 2025 Met Gala, meaning its creative director Pharrell Williams will likely also be dressing many guests in addition to hosting the evening, and we’ll be excited to see who. The Met Gala is always held on the first Monday in May, so the next Met Gala will be on May 5, 2025.

“They’re all men who aren’t afraid to take risks with their self-presentation,” said Andrew Bolton, head curator of the Costume Institute. “They take advantage of classic forms, but they also remix them and break them down in really new ways.”
