Met Gala 2025: The most important facts about the fashion event

May is there and with it the most important event in the fashion industry: the Met Gala 2025 will take place in New York on Monday. An event that is reluctant to miss fashion-loving stars, and it is not for nothing that the gala in the Metropolitan Museum of Art is also referred to as the “fashion oscars”. Here are the most important facts and information about this year’s Met Gala at a glance.

The MET GALA is a charity event that takes place every spring in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It is considered one of the most exciting celebrity fashion events of the year. The prominent guests usually carry tailor -made creations of the world’s most important fashion designers on a specific topic. By selling the exclusive tickets, the ball brings millions for the Costume Institute. The cards cost around $ 35,000 each, the tables are between 200,000 and $ 300,000.

As every year, “Vogue” editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is used as a co-host of the Met Gala. She is also responsible for the well -known guest list. Every year there are several superstars that moderate the evening. Actor Colman Domingo (54), racing driver Lewis Hamilton (39), rapper a $ Ap Rocky (36), music colleague Pharell Williams (51) and basketball star LeBron James (39) will be the CO hosts this year.

Traditionally, the Met Gala takes place on the first Monday in May to celebrate the upcoming exhibition of the Costume Institute. This year is entitled “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” and focuses on men’s fashion. Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity” are shown in the exhibition clothing, paintings or photographs that show the style of black dandyism from the 18th century.

The exhibition illuminates the role of clothing as an expression of identity, resistance and cultural heritage within the African diaspora. It is divided into twelve thematic sections, including “Ownership”, “Freedom” and “Beauty”.

It is the first time since the exhibition “Men in skirts” from 2003 that the museum and the gala concentrate on men’s fashion. “I think it is wonderful that the museum is putting men’s fashion into the spotlight for the first time in a long time and also the amazing talent of many black designers,” Wintour to “Entertainment Tonight”.

Music producer Pharrell Williams said in advance in the “The Run-Throgh with Vogue” about the motto: “It will be a very impressive, wonderful night in which we celebrate the color black. We celebrate the things that have to do with this color. We celebrate the mentality. We celebrate the misery. And we celebrate progress. And we celebrate success.”

In keeping with the motto, Anna Wintour traditionally defines a dress code that not only offers guests stylistic orientation, but also makes a deeper connection to the topic. While “White Tie” is always expected, this year’s dress code is “Tailored for You” – a direct allusion to the exhibition topic.

It can therefore be expected that the guests will appear in tailor -made clothing this year – whether in perfectly fitting suits, elegant evening blinds or in creative combinations of both elements, with a focus on individuality and personal preferences.
