Explore the extraordinary stories of stylish Black individuals across art, literature, music, and society. Coming May 2025, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” will examine the historical and cultural emergence of the Black dandy. Inspired by curator Monica Miller’s 2009 book, “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity,” the exhibition will present a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy, from the figure’s emergence in Enlightenment Europe during the 18th century to today’s incarnations in cities around the world. Colman Domingo (@kingofbingo), @LewisHamilton, @ASAPRocky, @Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour will co-chair the next #CostumeInstitute Benefit on the First Monday in May. LeBron James (@kingjames) will serve as honorary chair. The Benefit, also known as The Met Gala, celebrates the opening of the 2025 exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” and provides The Costume Institute with its primary source of annual funding for exhibitions, publications, acquisitions, operations, and capital improvements. “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” opens to the public on May 10 and will be celebrated at the 2025 Met Gala on May 5. #SuperfineStyle #MetGala2025
