The annual Met Gala is a staple in the fashion world, with its iconic themes, extravagant red carpet looks, and star-studded guest list. As we look forward to the 2025 edition of this glamorous event, here’s a sneak peek into what you can expect.

When and Where?

The 2025 Met Gala will take place on Monday, May 5, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The event traditionally kicks off the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibition, and this year will be no exception.

What’s the Theme?

In 2025, the Met Gala will explore the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” 

Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, the exhibition will highlight the evolution and influence of Black men’s style, from the 18th century to the present day. Expect to see a stunning array of garments, photography, and art, showcasing how Black dandyism has left a lasting imprint on the fashion world.

Who’s Hosting?

 This year’s co-chairs are an impressive all-Black male lineup, including actor Colman Domingo, Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton, rapper A$AP Rocky, and music icon Pharrell Williams, alongside Vogue’s Anna Wintour and honorary chair LeBron James. Each of these figures has made significant contributions to fashion, making them fitting choices for this year’s celebration.

What’s the Dress Code?

While the dress code for 2025 has yet to be revealed, we can anticipate sophisticated looks that celebrate Black sartorial elegance, likely featuring sharp tailoring and bold, statement-making attire.

Why the Met Gala Matters

Aside from being one of the most anticipated fashion events, the Met Gala is also a major fundraiser for the Costume Institute. Year after year, it helps raise millions to support the museum’s efforts in preserving fashion history.

Jeremy Scott has never been one for dialling it down when it comes to his collections, so it was no surprise that the invitations to Moschino’s Pre-Fall 2020 show in New York took the form of a supersized Moschino Metro card – a precursor for what was to be at once an overt celebration of maximalism and an ode to the city that never sleeps. For the Milanese brand’s first New York show, Jeremy Scott transformed an empty subway carriage at the New York Transmit Museum into a runway, with front- row guests perching themselves on the subway cart seats to witness up close and personal the brand’s Pre-Fall 2020 Women’s and Autumn/Winter 2020 Men’s collections.

‘I wanted to offer a little bit of everything. A round-the-clock set of ensembles for city girls and guys who aren’t afraid to go from the ballroom to the back room, then watch the sun come up over the East River,’ Scott said in a press release. An open love letter to the city, where he studied Fashion Design at the Pratt Institute, the show paid homage to the eclectic mix of city subcultures through a collection packed with East Coast attitude. Exploring every nuance, the collection offered something for everyone, from baggy tracksuits and dad-style sneakers inspired by 90s Harlem street style, to a take on tweed for the uptown working woman – though not without a dose of edge, with chunky gold chain accoutrements appearing in copious quantities.

Each of the 75 looks worked to form a sartorial assortment of myriad prints and textures, with denim corsets, 80s chain-print, punkish leather and fur stoles aplenty. But beyond the fleets of outrageous trappings that populated the runway, there was also a surprising amount of wonderfully wearable ensembles, from a classic camel trench coat to a series of silver evening gowns dripping with embellishment.

Moschino’s proud tradition of logomania reigned supreme, with the brand’s logo brazenly woven through the collection, on hats, bags and giant gold chains. XXL handbags and backpacks seemed to suggest that the tides are turning away from 2019’s tiny purse trend (see Jacquemus’ Le Sac Chiquito) in favour of bags that we can actually fit everything we need into. Supersized puffer jackets and baseball hats also abounded, with an abundance of blown-up proportions serving as evidence of Scott’s unfading mastery of maximalism. Lighters served as clutch bags, while giant safety pins held together tracksuits converted into cocktail dresses and ball gowns. A celebration of the audacity and versatility of New York City which joyfully played with the Moschino codes of irony that echo through all of Scott’s collections.

With a week full of fashion shows from big names such as Versace and Chanel debuting their pre-fall collections, Alexander Wang pulled out all – and when we say all we mean ‘ALL’. From the 42 models getting their eyebrows bleached to a robot overshadowing all the stars attending the show, Wang pulled out all the stops.

While Kim K and Blake Lively ensured all eyes were on them as they attended the Versace Pre-Fall runway show on Sunday night, all attention at the Alexander Wang A/W19 show in New York went not to a human, but a robot.

Now, you’re probably picturing a plain old robot, but this is not just any old droid – this is an AI robot with a killer fashion sense.

Sophia, the humanoid robot developed by Hong Kong based company Hanson Robotics was sat in the FROW rocking Alexander Wang’s boxy blazer style paired with metal safety pins forming hearts on both of her sleeves. She was also seen donning a red Collection 2 bandana around her neck, a popular accessory worn by models throughout the show.

The humanoid robot was pictured hanging out with 21 Savage and Teyana Taylor.

If you are thinking that this is the first time she has made a fashion statement or appearance at a runway show, then think again. Previously making an appearance at Shanghai Fashion Week, she was spotted flaunting a Gucci bag in true fashionista style. And if that isn’t enough to convince you that AI is here to stay, Sophia has already bagged her first British fashion magazine cover. Watch this space…
