2025 Met Gala Highlights Black Dandyism and Diversity

The 2025 Met Gala, themed 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' celebrated Black identity and fashion, drawing inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s book on Black dandyism. The event featured Serena Williams in an icy blue Moncler gown and Venus Williams in a custom Lacoste tennis-inspired ensemble. Zendaya and Breanna Stewart chose sharp, white tailored suits, while Priyanka Chopra stood out in a polka dot Balmain suit dress with Bvlgari jewelry. BLACKPINK’s Lisa Manobal and Maya Hawke were also among the notable attendees, highlighting the Gala’s blend of Hollywood, sports, and international celebrity. The event was co-chaired by Anna Wintour and Colman Domingo, focusing on the influence of tailored menswear on fashion and cultural identity. Social media buzz and cross-cultural representation were key elements of the 2025 Gala.
