Those on the star-studded guest list will likely incorporate tailoring in their looks, while being as creative as possible.听Expect a variety of takes on suits, with classic accessories like canes, pocket squares, brooches, hats and ties likely to make an appearance.

Here’s what else we know so far about the 2025 Met Gala.听

What is the 2025 Met Gala theme?

The 2025 Met Gala听will be a celebration of听the Met’s Costume Institute exhibit “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which focuses on听the Black dandy.听

“Historically, the term ‘dandy’听was used to describe someone 鈥� often a man 鈥� who is extremely devoted to style and approaches it as a discipline,” reads a Met 听“Dandyism was initially imposed on Black men in 18th-century Europe as the Atlantic slave trade and an emerging culture of consumerism created a trend of fashionably dressed, or dandified, servants.”听

It鈥檚 the first fashion exhibit at the Met in over 20 years to focus exclusively on menswear.听

The exhibit was inspired by Met guest curator Monica L. Miller鈥檚 2009 book “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity,” and will delve into the importance of style to the听formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora.听

“Dandyism offered Black people an opportunity to use clothing, gesture, irony, and wit to transform their given identities and imagine new ways of embodying political and social possibilities,” the news release reads.听

When is the 2025 Met Gala?听

The gala will take place on Monday, May 5, and the Costume Institute exhibition will be on view from May 10 to Oct. 26, 2025.听

Chef Kwame Onwuachi will create the menu for the evening and artist Cy Gavin is set to design the decor concept alongside Derek McLane and Ra煤l 脌vila.听

Who are the co-chairs of the 2025 Met Gala?听

Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has invited a slate of male stars to co-host the gala, since the theme focuses on menswear. Joining her as co-chairs are actor Colman Domingo, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, musician A$AP Rocky and Louis Vuitton men’s creative director Pharrell Williams. NBA star LeBron James will be an honorary chair.听

滨苍听, each of the gala’s co-chairs was photographed for a cover, and Black celebrities likely to attend the gala shared what the term ‘dandy’ means to them. “Freedom,” said actor Lakeith Stanfield; “individuality,” said singer and actress Janelle Mon谩e; and “elegance,” said singer-songwriter and model Yseult.听

“Black style is really related to thinking about how fashion and power connect,” said Monica Miller, guest curator of “Superfine” and professor of Africana studies at Barnard College, Columbia University.

At a press conference at the Met last October, F1 star Hamilton spoke poignantly about how fashion became a way of expressing his identity.听鈥淚 was forced to conform. From my daily routine down to what I wore. My routine was rigid. And as the only Black kid on the racing track, there was no one like me to look up to.”

Later in life, he said, 鈥淚 started to express myself more creatively and more specifically, through fashion. Finding my identity in how I dressed. This was a huge positive change.鈥�

鈥淚 know the power of representation and how fashion can be a vehicle to help push diversity forward and celebrate our differences,鈥� Hamilton added. 鈥淚鈥檓 excited to celebrate Black history ... and to show that inclusion and creativity go hand in hand.”

Who will attend the Met Gala 2025?听

Guests including fashion industry insiders and celebrities from all around the world are said to be hand-picked by Wintour, and their looks interpreting the theme have become the main attraction for viewers.

The guest list is a tightly guarded secret, so beyond the co-hosts, guests aren’t confirmed yet, though there are some red carpet regulars who typically step out on the Met’s iconic stairs, including Rihanna, Beyonc茅, Jennifer Lopez,听Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid听and occasionally Taylor Swift.听

However, in 2024,听expected regulars听Hadid, Beyonc茅, Taylor Swift, Lively and Rihanna were all no-shows. This year, Lively and Ryan Reynolds are rumoured to be skipping again.听Beyonc茅 has just kicked off her Cowboy Carter tour, which may mean she doesn’t attend, however her tour dates before and after, on May 4 and 7, are both in the U.S. (albeit in L.A.) so she could conceivably make it.

Social media star Emma Chamberlain hosted the event’s red carpet livestream in 2024 and is also likely to attend, although it is not clear if she will host again.听

Last year, many expected Rihanna to arrive late as she often does听听reported, she was sick with the flu and had to skip the gala. This year, we’re likely to see her there as her husband, A$AP Rocky, is a co-chair.

What is the Met Gala?听

The Met Gala is an annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art鈥檚 Costume Institute in New York City.听

The听2024 Met Gala raised more than $26 million听USD听鈥� a record amount for the annual event.

Always held on the first Monday in May, the 2024 gala was held on May 6. Guests including Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Demi Moore, Lana Del Rey and Tyla walked a whimsical green carpet. The dress code was “The Garden of Time” and it celebrated the exhibit “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” This wasn’t referring to the Disney princess, but 16 gowns in the museum’s archives that are too fragile to be hung upright and instead lie displayed听in听glass coffins.
