CONSIDERED the most important evening in fashion, the Met Ball 2025 is themed: Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. Dictated by the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, this year’s gala and adjacent exhibition is centred around the clothing and the creation of outfits that create the Black identity – with focus on Dandyism.
To elevate the night, the co-chairs are Louis Vuitton’s menswear designer and musician Pharrell Williams, F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, actor Colman Domingo, rapper A$AP Rocky and NBA’s all-time leading basketball scorer LeBron James.
