Taking place today, May 5, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the 2025 Met Gala is themed "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." This year’s gala honors Black dandyism and explores the cultural role of fashion in expressing Black identity across the African diaspora. The Costume Institute’s corresponding exhibit—drawing inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion—is divided into 12 sections, including themes like “Ownership,” “Freedom,” and “Beauty,” and showcases powerful works by artists such as Tyler Mitchell and Torkwase Dyson.
