So the theme is: "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" - which will 'explore the role of sartorial style in forming Black identities, focusing on the emergence, significance, and proliferation of the Black dandy'

I'm super interested in the looks and I'm predicting that Rihanna will announce a third pregnancy, and that she's expecting a girl this time

Will you be watching? If so, who's look are you most interested in?

I'm keen to see what Zendaya does, and the others dressed by Law Roach

I didn't put this thread on telly addicts because it's not on tv tbh - please tell me if there's already a thread?

Happy MET Gala day!

I watched it last year and will definitely have a look this year too. Always interesting I think - all that pouting and posing!!!!!

WednesdaysChild25 · 05/05/2025 16:31

I generally only look at the pictures and stuff online after where is best to watch it? I love the the individual interpretations of the themes

JamMakingWannaBe · 05/05/2025 16:41

Me! Just for the ridiculous frocks. Someone linked last year to a live feed from the "Press Pack" area which was fun in terms of what the Photographers shout at the celebs to get the shot they want.

TokyoSushi · 05/05/2025 16:42

I won’t be watching, but I’ll love all the coverage in the morning!

ArtemisiaTheArtist · 05/05/2025 17:00

No, not live. I'll catch up on Instagram tomorrow. It quite an excessive show of wealth, isn't it?

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 05/05/2025 17:04

Its on at 11, I hope I'll be awake to catch it 😴

I love the pomp and circumstance tbh and judging the outfits in my t-shirt, eating chips in bed 🤭

I used to watch the red carpet when it was on E, but since it is no more, I just look at photos the next morning

PrimevalStomp · 05/05/2025 17:31

I imagine it will be pinging on to my phone from various sources while it’s on. And I’ll no doubt spend far too much time taking screen shots tomorrow.

The photos from the Vogue feature last month really were something.

I’m possibly most thrilled on behalf of the writer whose book, years after its publication, has prompted the theme - but it’s maybe too little, too late to send me skipping with joy into a bright new world. I wonder if all the Black American men and women currently unjustly incarcerated in the US will be watching …

AnnaMagnani · 05/05/2025 17:32

I love looking at the outfits and bitching (to myself as no-one else is interested) about anyone who didn't follow the theme.

Blondebrownorred · 05/05/2025 17:33

I've never heard of it Grin

MoistVonL · 05/05/2025 17:34

I've cleared my calendar for a good hour in the morning so I can have a good nosy at the photos. I love a bit of bonkers fashion excess.

Motherknowsrest · 05/05/2025 17:35

Is it live streamed? I've only ever "watched" via twitter. It's a bit late for me tonight, I'll catch up tomorrow.

Looking forward to Lewis. and maybe a Taylor & Travis RepTV coded outfit.

Rainbowshine · 05/05/2025 17:41

The Met gala is so ghastly, a whole lot of rich people wearing ridiculous clothes showing off their obscene wealth. Not for me thanks.

StarTwirl · 05/05/2025 17:46

I love all the OTT outfits so will be looking at the photos and videos online

ThatNimblePeer · 05/05/2025 17:53

The theme sounds interesting but ‘dandy’ usually refers to men, I wonder what women are supposed to do with it? Also isn’t it potentially going to be a bit uncomfortable if mostly white celebrities are showing up offering their interpretations of ‘Black’ style? How is that going to work?

Zendaya is always great but she was so especially fabulous last time. I hope she knocks it out of the park this time too.

I also thought Ayo Edibiri was very good last year, she hadn’t been on my style radar before but I’ve noticed since how pretty she is and how well she dresses.

Zendaya is fabulous 🙌

I love to see what Kim k wears too, and Kylie and kendall

I wonder whether Lisa/Lalisa from Blackpink will be there this time since she’s just been on White Lotus

And maybe Parker Posey? I can imagine either of them might have some good looks.

MotherOfRatios · 05/05/2025 18:37

the Karjenners are rarely on theme...

I really love this years theme!

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 05/05/2025 18:42

Me too @MotherOfRatios , I'm excited to see the looks

OggyBunsen · 05/05/2025 18:58

I'll watch Haute Le Mode's take on all the outfits on YouTube.

JHound · 05/05/2025 19:06

I never watch live but I do go online to see the photos. Very much looking forward to this year given the topic.

And I always look forward to seeing what Law Roach and Zendaya come up with.

Harassedevictee · 05/05/2025 19:09

Lewis Hamilton is one of the co-chairs and I suspect has been very involved. I loved his outfit from a few years ago - black suit with a very long white shirt with one side tucked in.

His Ferrari first day image is iconic
