What is the theme for this MET Gala 2025?
The MET Gala provides a distinctive dress code every year and for 2023, the theme has been announced as "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." The theme is drawn from Mónica L. Miller's 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity while tracing the ties among power, fashion, and identity.
The 2023 gala will centre on the "Tailored for You" theme, which is generally what gala participants do when they wear a custom-made outfit. The exhibition will be opening at the New York museum on May 10.
In 2024, the theme centred on "sleeping" fashion that awakened alive through technology: Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.
