What is the Met Gala? Wikipedia says: “The Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Benefit, is the annual haute couture fundraising festival held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan. The Met Gala is popularly regarded as the world’s most prestigious and glamorous fashion event.”
The “theme”: The Met Gala 2025 theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”. This theme coincides with the Costume Institute’s spring exhibit of the same name, which explores Black style and dandyism over three hundred years. The theme draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s book, “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity,” and explores how Black individuals used style as a form of resistance and expression.

For some, it conjured up the Hunger Games.

I thought we could begin Tuesday with a good laugh. I’m sure this was intended to be haute couture for the Met Gala last night but all I saw was a gathering of the irrelevant that probably put these clothes in the garbage for the homeless. Good grief! pic.twitter.com/vKZ52P2BlJ

It’s #MetGala2025 night.

No one was there of great fashion significance, and it took me forever to go through 100 of the shocking get ups to find the 4 most obnoxious.
