The Met Gala 2025 is ready to make the red carpet a fashion statement starting today. The theme is as sharp as the suits it celebrates, perfectly aligned with the Costume Institute’s Spring exhibition, ‘Slaves to Fashion’ – inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity – it aims to present a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy. The dress code is ‘Tailored for You’ and it’s all about menswear and suiting – expect guests to flex their sartorial muscles with tailored suits, bold twists on classic menswear, and gowns might just take a backseat as the sharpest minds and fits lead the charge.
The 2025 Met Gala is co-chaired by some of the most stylish dark men on the planet – Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, and A$AP Rocky. Oh, and LeBron James will be there as an honorary co-chair, with Vogue’s Anna Wintour running the show once again.
Get ready to witness debutant – King of romance, Shah Rukh Khan – who will be donning the couture of Sabyasachi – famed for mixing timeless Indian craftsmanship with world-class fashion, we’re all eyes on how Sabyasachi will serve up some sartorial magic for SRK at the Met Gala.
Kiara Advani is also set to make her debut after Cannes – the actress gave us a sneak peek into her Met Gala prep with a photo of a dreamy setup straight out of a fashion fairy tale: a table adorned with pink roses, chocolates, and a cake shaped like a mini mannequin rocking a black gown and pearls. As for what she’ll be wearing, whispers suggest a show-stopping ensemble by Gaurav Gupta. If that’s the vibe, we’re already swooning!
Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has landed in New York for his 2025 Met Gala debut. He teased his arrival with a cheeky pic of himself in a bathrobe embroidered with Met Gala 2025 – while the details of his look are still a mystery – his presence is about to make a major statement on the global pop culture and fashion scene, proving Indian artists are here to stay and slay!
Priyanka Chopra Jonas – the global icon – is back for the fifth time and she’s ready to slay in custom Balmain creation paired with Bulgari jewels. Known for turning heads and pushing the fashion envelope, we’re on the edge of our seats wondering what jaw-dropping look she’ll serve up this time! Joining her on the Met Gala 2025 red carpet will be a dazzling lineup of Indian powerhouses – Deepika Padukone, a global fashion force and red carpet regular; Isha Ambani, known for blending couture with quiet luxury; Natasha Poonawalla, a Met Gala favorite who never shies away from avant-garde glamour; and Mona Patel, the entrepreneur and philanthropist making waves with her debut.
Together, they’re set to bring a stunning dose of desi elegance and global flair to fashion’s biggest night!
