Met Gala 2025: A Star-Studded Affair on the Red Carpet
The 2025 Met Gala, one of the most exclusive events in the fashion world, took place on Monday, with a slew of A-list celebrities descending upon the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. According to NBC New York, the event’s theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," with a dress code of "Tailored for You."
The Met Gala, a fundraiser benefiting The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, is an annual event that brings together the crème de la crème of the fashion world. This year’s event was co-chaired by actor Colman Domingo, race car driver Lewis Hamilton, rapper A$AP Rocky, singer Pharrell Williams, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Notably, NBA star LeBron James was named an honorary chair but was unable to attend due to an injury.
As reported by NBC New York, the theme of the 2025 Met Gala was inspired by the Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition, which opens to the public on May 10 and runs through October 26. The exhibition is based on Monica L. Miller’s book, “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.”
The event’s red carpet arrivals were a major highlight, with many celebrities opting for fashionably late arrivals. NBC New York provided live updates from The Mark Hotel, where celebrities were getting ready, to Fifth Avenue, where they arrived for the coveted walk on the red carpet.
The list of attendees is typically a closely guarded secret, and this year’s event was no exception. Additionally, the performer who took to the stage inside the event remained under wraps until the night of the gala.
As NBC New York notes, the Met Gala is one of the most exclusive invitations in town, and this year’s event did not disappoint. With its star-studded lineup and high-fashion themes, the 2025 Met Gala was an unforgettable night in the world of fashion.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute is set to benefit from the funds raised at the event, with the exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" set to explore the intersection of fashion and identity. As NBC New York reports, the event’s co-chairs and hosts worked tirelessly to bring together an impressive array of celebrities, ensuring a memorable night for all involved.
