The 2025 Met Gala served nothing but Black brilliance and tailored perfection. With a theme like “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” the night was a masterclass in precision, power, and pure fashion magic. From sharp silhouettes to regal fabrics, the stars came dressed to impress—and then some.


The theme explored the history and influence of Black DANDYISM in fashion, spotlighting how Black men have historically used tailored clothing as a powerful form of self-expression and cultural resistance. For the first time in two decades, the gala centered its focus on menswear.


What is DANDYISM, you ask? A style rooted in rebellion, refinement, and radical self-expression. The red carpet became a runway of tailored elegance, where sharp lapels, dramatic capes, and bold brooches told stories of power, pride, and poise. This wasn’t just fashion; it was lineage. Every stitch whispered legacy. Every look shouted freedom.


And the GRILLS? The Grills took center stage at the 2025 Met Gala, becoming one of the night’s most talked-about accessories. They weren’t just for flash, they were a nod to a deeper legacy. The grills symbolized Black cultural expression and resistance, echoing centuries of turning adornment into statement.


The dandies of the night reminded us: style is a form of resistance, and nobody does it quite like us.
