Fashion’s biggest night is here—and the 2025 Met Gala red carpet is in full swing.
Indeed, Colman Domingo, La La Anthony, Emma Chamberlain, and Teyana Taylor have already made their way to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This prestigious event takes place annually, and for the 2025 Met Gala, Anna Wintour from Vogue will be joined by co-chairs A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, and Pharrell Williams.
On May 5th, LeBron James, who had been named an honorary co-chair, confirmed that he won’t be able to attend due to an injury he sustained towards the end of the Los Angeles Lakers’ NBA season.
At this year’s event, every participant is expected to adhere to our “Custom-Fitted” dress code, aligning perfectly with the Costume Institute’s “Superb Tailoring: The Art of Black Fashion” display.
As stated by Vogue, the topic under discussion – inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity” – will delve into how fashion plays a crucial role in shaping Black identities, with particular emphasis on the origin, importance, and spread of the Black dandy phenomenon.
In his February statement, Miller, acting as a guest curator, pointed out that while Dandyism might appear superficial, it frequently embodies a confrontation or a leap over societal and cultural stratifications.
She went on to say, “The exhibit delves into issues of self-identity, representation, and freedom of movement concerning race, social status, gender, sexual orientation, and authority. It also examines dandyism as a bold statement and a challenge.
Besides the star-studded co-chairs for the 2025 Met Gala, the event will also feature a host committee comprising individuals like André 3000, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Jordan Casteel, Dapper Dan, Doechii, Ayo Edebiri, Edward Enninful, Jeremy O. Harris, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Rashid Johnson, Spike Lee, Tonya Lewis Lee, Audra McDonald, Janelle Monáe, Jeremy Pope, Angel Reese, Sha’Carri Richardson, Tyla, Usher, and Kara Walker.
As a devoted admirer, let me express my perspective: Dandy to me transcends fashion; it’s a way of life. It embodies the essence of being flamboyant, daring, and tapping into something profoundly personal. For many of us, particularly Black men and women, this meant cherishing our brilliance and extravagance when we felt disconnected from our origins. It’s about preserving culture, honoring heritage, and defining identity.
The singer from “Yeah” expressed his gratitude for backing an organization that highlights emerging designers. He explained his goal has been to challenge people, provide opportunities, and illuminate those who haven’t received their due recognition yet.
