The theme for Met Gala 2025 is 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' which draws inspiration from Monica L Miller's book 'Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.' The gala aims to celebrate individuality, identity & craftsmanship. Black dandyism originated in the 18th century and saw elegant attire worn by African Americans in response to societal constraints.
