We can count on the Met Gala to bring a major fashion extravaganza our way, and next year’s events will be no exception. “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” has been chosen as the theme of the Costume Institute’s next exhibit, while Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, and A$AP Rocky are among the latest co-chairman.
According to The Met’s CEO Max Hollein, the next exhibit will explore “the importance of sartorial style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora,” while celebrating “the power of style as a democratic tool for rejecting stereotypes and accessing new possibilities.”
“Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” exhibition has been described as a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy, inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. It will be launched on May 5, when the Met Gala will return to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, before being open to the public from May 10 through October 26, 2025.
Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is returning as the co-chair of the next Met Gala, and she’ll be joined by a historic roster of co-chairs. Musician and Louis Vuitton Menswear’s creative director Pharrell Williams, rapper A$AP Rocky, Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton, and Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo have been announced as co-chairs, with the NBA legend LeBron James joining them as an honorary co-chair.
