Met Gala is the biggest fashion show in the world every fashionista looks for it. The yearly haute couture celebration brings together a host of industry veterans, film celebrities, emerging designers, and style connoisseurs from all over the world. Each year, the Met Gala—often dubbed the Oscars of fashion—features celebrities showcasing the most imaginative and surreal ensembles, making the event truly unforgettable.
Met Gala every year follows a theme and dress code given to attendees. As seen in years past, the titans of the industry do not leave any stone unturned to show up in their best ensembles, making the Met Gala the biggest fashion occasion every year.
The Met Gala is a yearly charitable gathering and fundraising event for the renowned fashion division of The MET—The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Held every May, the gala signifies the launch of the institute’s annual fashion showcase. Completely self-financed, the Met Gala generates donations in the eight-figure range each year.
The Met Gala takes place every year on the first Monday in May. The Met Gala 2025 will be held on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced the 2025 Met Gala theme on 9th October 2024. The institute this year’s spring 2025 exhibition will have “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” as its theme, inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. This theme explores the style of Black men, pertaining to dandyism, a context rooted in the 18th century which means a man’s style, conduct, and approach towards impeccable and polished fashion.
The Co-chairs of the 2025 Met Gala are Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour. LeBron James will serve as an honorary chair at the event.
This year’s Gala will also have a host committee including Angel Reese, André 3000, Edward Enninful, Tyla, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Janelle Monáe, Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis Lee, Jeremy Pope, Ayo Edebiri, Rashid Johnson, Audra McDonald, Sha’Carri Richardson, Jeremy O. Harris, Dapper Dan, Doechii, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Jordan Casteel, Kara Walker, and Usher.
The dress code for Met Gala 2025 is “Tailored for You”, aligning with its theme about menswear and suiting.
From past few years Indian celebrities have made striking appearances at the Met Gala including, Priyanka Chopra, Natasha Poonawalla, Isha Ambani, and Mona Patel. However, 2024 saw a groundbreaking appearance by the Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt who truly stole the spotlight in a Sabyasachi custom-design gem-studded mint-green saree that featured a 23-foot-long train.
