Black dandyism, as Miller explains, is more than just fashion; it's a strategy for reimagining identity and pushing boundaries, particularly during times of oppression. It represents a powerful assertion of selfhood and a significant contribution to the world of fashion and culture.

The 2025 Met Gala will be co-chaired by a distinguished group of individuals, including Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, and A$AP Rocky. LeBron James will serve as an honorary chair, marking his first appearance at the event. A star-studded host committee will also be present, including musicians, actors, playwrights, fashion designers, writers, artists, and athletes.

The dress code for the evening is "Tailored for You," inviting guests to creatively interpret the theme of menswear and Black dandyism. Expect to see a variety of suits, men's accessories, and perhaps even canes, as attendees embrace the spirit of the event.

While details about the red carpet viewing are yet to be announced, Vogue typically streams the event on its website and social media channels. Stay tuned for further updates as the 2025 Met Gala approaches.
