Met Gala 2025: A Guide to Fashion's Biggest Night

The 2025 Met Gala is nearly here! The Met Gala, which is a fundraising benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will take place in New York City on May 5, 2025. 

This year's event honors some of the museum's most precious archives, and the related exhibition will run from May 10 to October 26, 2025 at the Met. Here are all the details you need to know.

What is the Met Gala 2025 Theme?

The Met Gala 2025 theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” According to Vogue, it's inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. While there haven't been many details about how this applies to the dress code, Vogue revealed that the exhibit will explore “style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th century through present.”

What is the dress code for the Met Gala 2025?

Vogue announced the official dress code on February 4, 2025. In line with the theme, focusing on dandyism, the dress code is “Tailored for You." As stated by the Met the dress code is a nod to the exhibition’s focus on menswear and is “purposefully designed to provide guidance and invite creative interpretation.” The dress code is supposed to encourage guests to embrace their personal style through tailored silhouettes, reimagining the world of menswear.

Who will host the Met Gala 2025?

Vogue has announced that Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour will co-chair the 2025 Met Gala alongside honorary chair LeBron James.

What time does the Met Gala 2025 red carpet start?

While no specific time has been announced yet, we do know the event will take place on the first Monday of May per tradition. Throughout the night, the stars will arrive and walk the red carpet. We'll have you covered with live coverage on the Teen Vogue site, so you won't miss a thing!

Who is hosting the Met Gala 2025 red carpet?

On April 22nd, Vogue officially announced this year's red carpet hosts via Instagram. In a group Facetime call we see LaLa Anthony (who has been a longtime host of the carpet), Teyana Taylor, and Ego Nwodim. “I've been doing the Met Gala livestream for a long time, now I got my girls joining me. It's going to be crazy, I'm excited ot be doing this together,” Anthony said in the video. Nwodim added in on the video: “It's me and Teyana at the arrivals and Lala at the top of the stairs. Anthony added that the carpet will start at 6 p.m. so we're sure to be in for a treat. The girls laughed together saying that everyone in attendance will be looking ”super fine" (a nod to the theme.) Taylor added in that there will be a ton of “Dandy and Daddies," something we should all be looking forward to.
