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.

As you can see, there are no Caucasian celebrities on the host committee.

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.
