Met Gala 2025 live updates: Fashion’s biggest night of the year is finally here. Indian representation at the gala is stronger than ever.
The Met Gala 2025 is officially open! It raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. The 2025 Met Gala is themed Tailored for You, aligning with the Costume Institute’s exhibition, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, set to open to the public on May 10. This year’s Met Gala is hosted by a group of Black male celebrities, including Colman Domingo, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Pharrell Williams—musician and Louis Vuitton menswear director—and A$AP Rocky. LeBron James was named honorary chair but withdrew last minute due to a knee injury. As always, Anna Wintour, the force behind the event, joins the hosts at fashion’s biggest night.
