The 2025 Met Gala dress code is “Tailored for You”
When the guests arrive at the 2025 gala puts for “superfine: black style tailoring” – the exhibition of spring 2025 at the Institut de Costumes of the Metropolitan Museum of Art – they will do it after having considered the dress code, announced today as “Suitable for you”. According to the MET, the dress code is a nod to the accent put by the exposure on male fashion and is “deliberately designed to provide advice and invite a creative interpretation”.
“Superfine: Capture Black Style” will explore the role of style style in the formation of black identities, focusing on the emergence, meaning and proliferation of the black dandy. Composed of clothes, photographs, fine arts, historical texts and artifacts, this is the first exhibition of the Institute of Costumes to focus on men’s clothing since “Men in Jirts” in 2003 and A been inspired by the 2009 book of the guest curator Monica L. Miller, Fashionable slaves: black dandyism and black diasporical identity style.
“Dandyism may seem frivolous, but it often poses a challenge or transcendence of social and cultural hierarchies,” said Miller in today’s declaration. “He asks questions about identity, representation and mobility concerning race, class, sex, sexuality and power. This exhibition explores dandyism both as a declaration and a provocation. »»
The program also reflects the continuous commitment of the MET to authentically diversify its exhibitions. “This allows Monica’s book to be translated Fashionable slaves In an exhibition, “said Andrew Bolton, curator of the Institut des Costumes,” is our collection of male clothing in style, which serves as a basis for imagination and the realization of a clothing history of black dandyism. »»
Now, about the dress code: “Tailored for you” can be interpreted in several ways, but above all means embracing the looks reflecting its personal style. We can surely expect sockets inspired by the costume – versions of the Zoot silhouette popularized by jazz musicians in the 1940s with daring and colorful styles worn by Congolese sappers – although other men’s clothing staples, such as hats, links and perhaps rods, pins, and pocket squares, are also a solid performance.
Indeed, participants could turn to the co -chairs of the Met Gala Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A $ AP Rocky and Pharrell Williams – as well as the honorary president Lebron James – for inspiration. Think of Domingo, arriving at Critic’s Choice Awards 2024 in a mustard yellow Valentino costume and a textured gold coat, or Hamilton on the way to the Paddock of the Miami Grand Prix in a diamond tank top and elegant black nuances. We have also seen Rocky adorn her braided hair with silk scarves and pearl clips; Williams in the graphic t-shirts of the billionaire boys’ club and lightening Louis Vuitton leather rockets of its own design; And James in Custom Thom Browne in the 2018 NBA finals.
