The theme of this year’s event is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. This year’s theme draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
Also, this year’s theme will explore “the role of sartorial style in forming Black identities, focusing on the emergence, significance, and proliferation of the Black dandy”.
Additionally, the corresponding exhibit will involve designers Grace Wales Bonner, Pharrell Williams, and the late Virgil Abloh.

How Do I Watch the 2025 Met Gala?
Being an exclusive event, the Met Gala is off-limits to the press on the inside. Of course, the outside is lined with photographers itching to get those exclusive pictures. However, the red carpet will be livestreamed on Vogue.com, entertainment channel E!, or YouTube.
Hosting this year’s live stream for Vogue is actress Tenyana Taylor, producer La La Anthony and Saturday Night Live alum Ego Nwodim will host the live stream for Vogue.
As a side note: E’s coverage will also stream on Peacock, if you don’t have cable!
What time will the live stream of the red carpet start?
Beginning at 5:30 pm ET, attendees will walk up those prestigious stairs to the red carpet. However, coverage of the Met will not begin until 6 pm ET and 3 pm PT, so you have a full half an hour to get comfortable and watch.
In the UK, the Vogue live stream will begin at 11 pm BST.
Who is coming to this year’s Met Gala?
Vogue editor Anna Wintour oversees the event and its exclusive guest list every year. Yet, each year, who attends is top secret. Any celebrities could pay the $75,000 price for a table, but it is a question of whether Wintour approves of them.
Fans think Rihanna will attend, since her boyfriend A$AP Rocky is one of this year’s co-chairs. Other predictions we make include the public debut of Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet making their red carpet debut together, but who knows?
Stay tuned to find out!
