🎭 What is the Met Gala?
Often dubbed the “Oscars of Fashion”, the Met Gala is an annual benefit hosted by Vogue to support the Costume Institute. More than just a glamorous red carpet event, it launches the year’s curated exhibit and invites A-list celebrities to interpret a new theme through avant-garde couture 🎨👠.
🧵 Met Gala 2025 Theme: "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style"
This year's theme centered around Black dandyism, exploring how style has served as a statement of resistance, empowerment, and identity in Black culture. Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s influential book Slaves to Fashion, the theme elevated menswear and sharp tailoring with a cultural twist. The exhibit featured icons like Frederick Douglass and Stormé DeLarverie, highlighting centuries of refined fashion as a form of rebellion and pride 🕊️👔.
