We’re still more than six months away from the 2025 Met Gala, but as any fashion fan knows, celebs prepare for about that long–or ever longer–for when that first Monday in May rolls along. Because the biggest night in fashion takes so much preparation, it’s only right the theme and co-chairs for the 2025 Met Gala be announced early, too.

On Wednesday, Oct. 9, the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced the Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. The exhibit will draw inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, featuring garments, paintings, photographs, and more—all exploring the indelible style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th-century through present day.

“The Costume Institute’s spring 2025 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,” the exhibition’s description reads. “Historically, the term dandy was used to describe someone—often a man—who is extremely devoted to style and approaches it as a discipline. Dandyism was initially imposed on Black men in 18th-century Europe as the Atlantic slave trade and an emerging culture of consumerism created a trend of fashionably dressed, or dandified, servants.”

With those guidelines in mind, it only makes sense that the co-chairs for the Met Gala would be some of the most powerful and stylish Black men in Hollywood.

The co-chairs for the 2025 Met Gala will be Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, and Pharrell Williams, alongside Anna Wintour. LeBron James will serve as honorary chair. For Rocky, Williams, and Hamilton, the Met Gala is nothing new, having been a regular in attendance for years now. Domingo attended his first Met Gala earlier this year, while James will make his debut at the event in 2025.

The Met Gala will return to NYC on May 5, 2025. The dress code is set to be announced in early 2025.
