Who will attend the 2025 MET Gala?

It’s the first Monday in May. AKA it’s time for the annual MET Gala. Or as some call it, “fashion’s biggest night.”

Celebrities will walk the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art hoping their looks live up to the annual theme of the gala. This year’s theme is a special one. It’s called “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” and it’s the very first Black fashion tradition to be selected for the theme of the Costume Institute’s fundraiser.

Brittany and her guests, culture writer Shelton Boyd-Griffith and editor-in-chief of Black Fashion Fair Antoine Gregory, discuss how celebrities can be sure to be on theme and how the theme is rooted in the very first fashion statements made by enslaved people.
