Met Gala 2025 Threads 250 Years of Black Elegance into 'Superfine' Theme

The 2025 Met Gala spotlighted 250 years of Black fashion history through its theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion, the event honored Black dandyism as a form of resistance and self-expression. Celebrities embraced the "Tailored for You" dress code, showcasing designs that paid homage to figures like Frederick Douglass and Toussaint Louverture. This celebration underscored the enduring influence of Black style on global fashion narratives.
