The dress code for the 2025 Met Gala was announced on Tuesday. The evening’s dress code will be “Tailored for You,” and the theme is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.
The Met Gala will be held in New York City on May 5, 2025.

Per The Met, the evening’s dress code is a nod to the exhibition’s focus on menswear and is “purposefully designed to provide guidance and invite creative interpretation.”
LeBron James is the honorary chair for the Met Gala. Co-chairs are actor Colman Domingo, F1 race driver Lewis Hamilton, rapper A$AP Rocky (who might not be able to make it), designer Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour.

The 2025 Costume Institute Host Committee includes Regina King, Spike Lee & Tonya Lewis, Andre 3000, Simone Biles & Jonathan Owens, Doechii, Ayo Edibiri, Usher, Janelle Monae, Angel Reese, Sha’Carri Richardson, Tyla, and more.
As you can see, there are no Caucasian celebrities on the host committee.
One Reddit.com user wrote: “white celebs i am begging you please be normal about this.”

Also on the host committee is British menswear designer Grace Wales Bonner. Grace is best known for her adidas X Wales Bonner collaboration.
The adidas X Wales Bonner shoes are so exclusive that they sell out within minutes on Adidas.com. Then you’re at the mercy of resellers online.
I was lucky to find a pair of Wales Bonner Samba Pony Hair sneakers online for around $395. Now the same shoes sell for over $1,000 on eBay.
According to Grace’s personal website, she has received numerous accolades including Emerging Menswear Designer at the British Fashion Awards (2015), the LVMH Young Designer Prize (2016), Winner of the British Fashion Council/ Vogue Designer Fashion Fund (2019), CFDA International Men’s Designer of the Year (2021) and Independent British Brand at the Fashion Awards (2022).
