I’ve never looked forward to the Met Gala. Honestly, I usually forget it’s a thing until after the event has taken place. This year though…

Maaaan listen, I’m quite excited about this year. This year’s theme is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. They have to get this right. Everyone better come correct and due this theme every bit of the justice it deserves.

With Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Colman Domingo being co-chairs, as well as, Doechii André 3000, Simone Biles, Regina King, Spike Lee, Audra McDonald, Angel Reese, Tyla, and Usher being host committee members I expect great things.

MET GALA 2025: BLACK DANDYISM

BLACK EXCELLENCE 👑

This year, the Met Costume Institute’s exhibition, “Superfine- Tailoring Black Style,” tells the story of the Black dandy, the rakish figure who turns suiting and formalwear into his own waggish coat of armor. To celebrate, GQ collaborated with Vogue.
