There’s always a lot of buzz surrounding the Met Gala, and we finally know what the next edition of the fashion biggest nights will be all about. The Costume Institute announced the theme of their upcoming spring exhibition and announced the impressive lineup of co-chairs joining Anna Wintour this time around.

Exhibition Theme

“Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” has been chosen as the theme of the Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition. It draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, and it will explore the Black dandy and the importance of fashion in the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora.

Date & Location

Met Gala will return to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 5, 2025. After its grand opening, the Costume Institute’s exhibit “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” will be open to the public from May 10 to October 26, 2025.

Co-Chairs

Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour will be joined by a historic roster of co-chairmen at this year’s Met Gala. Musician and Louis Vuitton’s menswear creative director Pharrell Williams, rapper A$AP Rocky, F1 icon Lewis Hamilton, and Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo will also serve as co-chairs, while NBA legend LeBron James will join them as an honorary co-chair.
