All in world. Look at these shoes.
You see these shoes?
Every outfit is an argument.
Theme really encapsulates black history and the black male experience, not only in this
era, but in past generations. It just feels revolutionary, honestly.
Black history is American history, and I think we have a great access point in comes
to style because you can't deny it. That is black history.
I think this is the most important Met Gala that's ever been.
This is the night that everyone's going to pay attention to.
What's going to be a really beautiful room. I really think that it will echo for a long
time. After.
It's fashion's most anticipated night. The 2025 Met Gala is here, I'm.
And I'm Teyana Taylor. Tonight we'll be talking to some of the
biggest names in culture as they show up and show out to support Costume Institute.
This year's exhibition, Superfine Tailoring Black Style, inspired tonight's dress code
tailored for you, which is all about the sharp, the personal, and the bold.
Anna Wintour and tonight's co-chairs have just arrived and are about to officially open
the carpet in a way best suited for the occasion.
All the way down the carpet. There you go.
Adam Valentino. In the River of David.
No matter where you are, no matter how far, don't worry.
We'll be just call my name. I'll be there in a hurry.
We don't have to way. Cause baby, there ain't no mountain
high enough. Ain't no valley low enough.
Ain't no river wide enough to keep me from getting to you babe.
I told you you could always count on me. Darling, won't that day on I made a
vow. I'll be there when you want.
Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough.
Ain't no valley low enough.
Ain't no river wide enough.
To keep me from getting to you, babe.
So we're going.
That stop me, baby, baby.
Trouble just me.
Oh, baby, baby. My love is a way down in my
heart.
I'll be there on the double.
Cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough.
Ain't no valley low enough.
Ain't no river wide enough.
To keep me from getting to you. Baby.
Ain't no mountain high enough.
Ain't no valley low enough.
Ain't no river wide enough.
To keep me from getting to you. Baby.
Ain't no mountain high enough. Ain't no valley low enough.
Ain't no river wide enough to keep me from.
Ain't no mountain high enough. Ain't no valley low enough.
Ain't no river wide enough to keep me from you.
Ain't no mountain high enough.
Ain't no valley low enough.
Ain't no river. Party enough to keep me from getting
to you, babe.
Ain't no mountain high enough.
Ain't no valley low enough.
Ain't no river to keep me.
Now I have never seen a moment like that on this carpet.
That was a powerful way to kick off tonight's historic gala.
The silk and sound choir. They're going to be performing inside as the
guests arrive tonight. I'm LaLa Anthony, and I'll be talking to the
biggest names in the game as they make their way inside the met.
Ladies, how are you feeling down there? No, sir.
We're just out here waiting to get into these arrivals and their fits for the night.
Yeah, we definitely can't wait. So stop being modest.
I'm trying to get into your fit tonight. What's going on?
Come on. I'm going to get into yours.
I do what I can. Okay.
Do. One of tonight's co-chairs is at the top of
the steps right now. All right.
One of my faves is here. Shutting it down.
I saw you coming all the way up here. I was like, oh, no, no, this, this, this,
this is different. All right. First, you are a co-chair for tonight's
gala. Tell me, what does that feel like, especially
for a theme like this? Well, I'm honored to, you know, while having
the appointment over at Louis Vuitton.
You know, for Anna to ask me after my first show.
Right, was like, where it all started, you know, because I had, like, a very dandy
aspect to my show. And that was a part of, like, the show notes.
And so afterwards we had like a breakfast the next morning over at the Ritz, and that's
when she said, look, you know, I want you to host with me in 2025.
So we've been sitting on this for like two years.
And couldn't tell. Anyone, couldn't say anything.
Couldn't say anything. No. But we've been planning and you know, we're
finally here. And I just I'm grateful that she's given us
platform. And the theme is what it is.
It celebrates that incredible color. Black, you know, and the people and which is
an American story and and dandyism, which is, like I said, like, you know how you feel when
you wake up, where you're going and what the weather's going to be like, you know, and
having that keen and acute attention to detail, that's everything.
That's that's the sport of dandyism. So, Pharrell, when you think of like the
icons of our generation, who do you think embodies like, what a black dandy and
dandyism is like, what comes to your mind? The working class.
The working class. That's where I come from.
Because, you know, you work your off and then like, all week.
And then when it's time for Sunday's finest. You throw it on.
Yeah, you throw. You throw that.
Thing on, you put that stuff on. Yeah.
That's it. All right.
And tell me about your inspiration behind your look tonight.
Well, you know, the the.
The Bond Street, Savile Row textile inspiration of pinstripe, but just in
pearls, pinstripe. Pearls I love this.
You see it? You see the pearls?
Yeah. You see the pearls.
You see the pearls. Come on.
You need to find a game and stop playing with me.
You know, I always love. To see you, too.
I appreciate you, always appreciate you. Thank you.
All right, all right. This is.
See, now that's how you open up the Met Gala. Listen, I knew when I heard these men were on
deck to co-chair that they were going to show up suited and booted.
Listen, they understood the assignment and made it to the honor roll.
They sure did. You know, these men heard about this year's
theme and said, that's every Monday for me. So keep this, okay?
Our co-chairs will be greeting each and every guest as they head into the Great Hall.
Listen, I'm going to just go ahead and say it.
They are better than me. Because if I'm hosting a party for over 100
guests, if I'm hosting a party for over 100 guests, look, I'm shaking at most, I don't
know, six hands. That's it, cap at that.
After that, everybody else is getting a cute little nod.
Good, good, good to see. Thank you for coming out, baby.
I hear you, I hear you. Just six.
Just six, maybe seven. The Lord's number.
Well, let's get it back to Lala so she can shake some.
All right, all right, go ahead. Lala, you're back for the fourth time hosting
this year. So you know that tonight's dress code
tailored for you means custom, creative and deeply personal.
How did it inspire your look tonight? Well, I'm looking at both of you.
And you just both look absolutely stunning. But my look is off.
White archive by Virgil. And I was just so honored to wear a Virgil
design. Shout out to Shannon, his wife, for even
giving me permission to wear this archive piece.
And I feel great. I feel honored, and I want to hear about your
looks like how did it all come together? Because both of you, it's like a whole shut
down moment over there. Thank you.
So this is archive Christopher John Rogers. He put some pieces together for me, made this
custom piece. You see the button, I see you, I see you,
peplum. You see the signature polka dots, the nails,
the nails have the buttons on them. That's patina.
Patina did her thing on my nails. And then Miles Jeffreys did my hair.
It's giving art on the on the scalp. Art on the scalp.
I feel like I'm closer to dad. Like this.
Oh, okay. But, Teyana, come on, you got to speak to us
about this. Look, this is.
Come on. Oh, thank you very much.
So, yeah, I designed this with the legendary icon Ruth E. Carter.
That is a. Come on, come on, come on.
Cape. Yes, the shoes is Marc Jacobs, but the suit
is designed by me and Ruth E. Carter. All right.
You really. You really, really did your thing.
All right, let's go to Lala with someone who knows this carpet better than anyone else.
All right. Well, this iconic woman has been the co-chair
of the Met Gala since 1995. And here to tell us more is Dame Anna
Wintour, who also helped me with my look. And I'm so grateful.
I'm just look amazing. Thank you.
And what I actually what I'm wearing is also in tribute to Virgil because he designed a
collection for Vuitton when he when he was there, that was a cloud coat.
So I asked Pharrell to to reinterpret it in his own way.
So we're both wearing Virgil. I love that, I love that now.
What are you most inspired by when it comes to this year's historic exhibition
celebrating black men's fashion? Well, I've been very, very inspired by seeing
how much it means to the black community, and I think it's full of creativity.
It's putting a spotlight on amazing black talent.
I think it's about self-respect and joy and confidence.
Confidence and liberation. And at this moment in our political history,
I think it's incredibly important, very, very stand next to the black community, and I'm
sure that it will be very well attended. And I'm so looking forward to hearing what
our visitors have to say. Yes, we're so excited to be here.
And this year's exhibition is the first in 22 years to focus exclusively on menswear.
So how do you think men's fashion has changed most in the last two decades?
Well, I think it's completely changed. I think it's become so much more
imaginative and creative and risk taking and fearless and fun, and which is what
the exhibition is all about. So I think Andrew and Monica's brilliance in
seeing that and understanding that, but looking at it through the lens of black
menswear and black style and incredible black creative dandies like our friend Andre, I
mean, the whole thing has just come together in a way that is is magical.
Definitely magical. And we all know what you do every first
Monday in May. But what does the first Tuesday it may look
like for you? Just a blank.
Thank you for asking me. Foot massages.
I remember. That foot massages.
Yes, we got foot massages I love that. Well, we're honored to be here and thank you
for bringing this to life. Thank you so much.
All right. Have a wonderful time tonight.
All right. All right.
Since Vogue revealed the theme of this year's Met Gala, the internet's been asking, what is
a black dandy? Well, we asked a few familiar faces, and
here's what they had to say. What is black dandyism.
Gosh, it's a little hard to describe. Dandy.
I'm feeling quite dandy. I think Dandyism is about individuality.
Excellence. Freedom.
Wit, elegance. It is tailoring.
It's a frequency. Dandyism to me is really about expression.
Black expression. Dandyism means confidence to me.
Somebody that celebrates living in a one of a kind body and tailors everything to that
body. Dandyism can.
I say. The kind of dictionary definition of Dandyism
is somebody who studies, above all else to dress elegantly and fashionably.
When the dandy is black, we get to see the dandy as a figure that really encapsulates a
kind of matrix of identity race, gender, class, sexuality, and sometimes nation.
Okay, we are standing with one of the best dressed men on the planet and co-chair of
this year's Met Gala. Colman Domingo looking good.
Oh my dear sis. I mean, you ate this up.
Oh, no, you ate it up too. Thank you, I appreciate it.
Thank you. Well, listen, I know I had to represent
tonight, and I drew inspiration from many things from, you know, I wanted to take this
across the seas in many ways and really got inspiration from sort of the moors, like
Othello, the Moor and people who, you know, kings and things that then also color blue.
The blue was also a color that when we were doing our research with Monica, when she was
telling me that a freed slave wanted to wear his finest blue Superfine wool suit, and I
thought, the color blue is perfect for tonight.
And also I feel like it gives you choir. It gives you King, it gives you all those
moments. And it's a little nod to Andre Leon Talley as
well. There's a great photo of him, actually at the
Met Gala with the beautiful blue cape, as he always did.
You always know what to say. I'm picking up everything you are putting
down. I'm clocking all of it.
You look fantastic. You really do.
Yes. And so you're actually one of the covers of
the Vogue Met Gala issue this year. What are you most proud of when you look at
that picture? I'm proud of eight year old Coleman,
who was awkward and skinny and a nerd.
And but he had dreams. He believed he could be something else.
And it looks like a manifestation of not only my dreams, but many dreams of my family and
ancestors. I know I'm standing in a moment that's for
not only myself, but many men and many women as well.
Who? Who toiled, who, who made sure I had, you
know, what I had as working class people. I represent West Philly.
I represent queer culture. I represent, you know, many people.
So I'm very, very proud to stand in this space.
You are representing well. We cannot wait to see you in there.
You look fantastic. You are doing us all proud.
You look good with a T on that. A couple tees, a couple of tees.
Yes, we will see you in there. Be proud.
Yes. Thank you.
Coleman.
I'm really.
Camera. Yes.
Stay right there. What are you doing?

Second round. We got you guys together.
Right up top. Family.
Can we get the two of you together? All right.
Hanging out with the incomparable Sydney Sweeney.
She's here with me right now. Your look is absolutely amazing.
So tell me when you hear a theme like this, what goes into bringing a look like this to
life? Well, this is my third time going with
muumuu, and I always feel that they just bring such beautiful stories to every dress.
So this is actually paying homage to Kim Novak.
And I'm doing a movie with Colman Domingo. I did.
Hear about that. So we wanted to really just bring that to
life. And I think it's just such a beautiful story.
I saw. Coleman at the.
bottom of the excited to talk to him. He looks absolutely.
He does. I'm so excited for him.
I told you I wasn't gonna keep you long so you can go in and start partying.

What is more stressful getting ready for an Olympic event, a game or the Met Gala?
Tell me. Give us the.
T the Met Gala. Only because I trained for the Olympics for
my whole entire life. And this is just like a one day event.
But I got in yesterday. We did all the fittings and so it's just
stressful. Yeah, yeah.
And what would you say Dorothy. Definitely the met.

So it's. Like cool as a cucumber all day.

moments when I get to be here with my friend Evan.
Of course. But, Miss Ross, miss Diana Ross is here.
Did. Did you know you were just going to come and,
like, shut the whole carpet down? Like, was that the plan?
Because that's what just happened. No, there was not a plan.
Everything was really, really last moment. My son persuaded me because I'm actually on
tour. She said, mom, you've got to go.
You haven't been since 2003. Like, that is crazy.
It's been a long time. So tell me the inspiration behind your look.
Because it was iconic. My favorite look of the night.
Affair forever family gown. If if you ever had pictures of the inside of
the train, it has the names of all my children and my eight grandchildren.
So everybody's name is embroidered. Embroidered in that.
And and the hat, you know, like I had to be careful with the hat because my head was
pretty big. It was awesome.
You were so incredible. Tell me what it means to be here with your
mom.
Very excited. And she's. The.
Best thing of all time. She's the best thing.
She is the Met Ball. She.
You are the Met Ball. You are the moment.
Thank you for coming to say hi to me. I love you so, so much.

My daughter Tracy. Yes, yes.

very special moment. It is.
And we love you so much. Special.
Thank you. And we love you.
Have the best time inside. Thank you.
Thank you. Lala.
Bye. See you.
I'm glad you see that. Thank you.
Right in the center.
Of.
You.
Yeah.
All right. Here with Jennie from Blackpink.
You know, I was looking at you. I was like, no, this look is definitely one
of my faves so far. Like.
Yeah. No, no, I was looking at you coming up the
steps. I was like, okay, you're crushing it right
now. Tell me the inspiration behind this look.
Well, I'm wearing a costume. Chanel tailored black jumpsuit inside, and
then a very beautiful sculptural overskirt.
And everything was inspired by the 20s and 30s of the Coco Chanel runways.
And I just feel so good with the hat and everything shut down.
When you hear a theme like this, how do you interpret it and bring it to life?
Well, I do my best and do my research and actually it was wonderful working with the
Chanel team because coming from Coco Chanel's legacy and history.
Everything it it had everything to do with what we wanted to represent.
So and everyone's so excited that Blackpink is going on tour soon.
So everyone wants to know what can we expect?
Ooh. It's gonna be good.
Oh, it's it's Blackpink in your area. Back, back again.
And I can't be the one spoiling everything, but it's going to be good.
And I hope we all can't wait to meet our fans.
So it's. Going to be incredible.
We'll have the best night. You look absolutely gorgeous.
You look amazing. Thank you, thank you.
All right. Hey, stay in the center.
Make sure. Thank you.
Let's go, let's go. Get close to us.
Start. With Miss.
Anna. Right here.
Throw that up! Downstairs.
Downstairs.
All right, I'm here hanging out with the birthday girl.
Yay! I'm so happy.
Happy? When I saw you coming up, I was like, there's
my girl. All right, so.
3030. What?
What are we trying to do in our 30s? 30?
I think just, like, take on that lesson of day by day.
And, like, fix today. You don't have to fix tomorrow.
And also, just, like, say what you think when you think it, don't hold on to things.
I like that, okay? Say what you think when you think it I like
that. That's good.
That's a good 3030 advice for sure. Talk to me about your look tonight and the
theme and the inspiration. Yeah.
So tonight I'm wearing Mumu and I worked with my friend who's also an amazing stylist and
editor, Gabriella Karefa-johnson, and we. Oh, I.
Love her. Yeah, she's the best.
And we thought of she thought of so many ways that we could interpret this look.
And we really went with this one because it's a celebration of Zelda Wynn Valdes, who was a
fashion designer in the late 40s. And she had she was trained by her uncle and
his men's tailoring shop, then went on to open her own dressmaking store in Washington
Heights and. Washington Heights and out to Washington
Heights. Yeah, but she took her training from her, you
know, her tailoring background, and she brought that to the female form, which at the
time was, you know, different and new and kind of risky and went on to design some
really iconic pieces. And I think to celebrate her tonight is so
exciting in this space that maybe a lot of people would only leave for men or suiting.
And I think that she really took on the essence of black dandyism, which is to
mix these strong fashion, you know?
Like pillars and mix them together and in a way that you feel like you're really
expressing yourself individually. And yeah.
So I hope that this is a dress maybe she would have designed for me.
It has tailoring and Glamour and gorgeous. It's so thank you so much.
They did a beautiful job. Shout out to Mumu.
Well thank you so much. I hope you have the best time inside a a
little after birthday celebration. Of course.
See you inside. Cheers.
All right. Cheers.

De shoulder. You're looking down.
Over the shoulder. To the right shoulder.
To the front. Okay, we are here with Lewis Hamilton, who is
just at the Grand Prix in Miami recently. But now you're here and you look fly as ever.
Yeah, yeah. Thank you so much.
Thank you. So, look, this is the 10th anniversary of
your first Met Gala. Now you're the co.
Like what emotions was flying through your body when you actually do such, like, be a
part of such a huge moment. Started this way guys.
I think. It's really an extension of the 2021 where I
bought a table here. And bought.
Black designers community created. an amazing.
Evening. And and then after that, speaking with Anna
and starting. To. What the met could go to and what it could
one day be. And we're in London.
And she told me the theme. And I was I was so, so excited.
And then she asked me to be the co-chair. And in that moment, for sure, I couldn't.
Believe I. Was like, right, I'm.
Are you gonna say no? Of course it's a yes.
I'm incredibly honored. And she's been amazing to work with.
I worked really, really closely with her on this.
And even though, like I'm in season and I've been away working on.
But to be out to be involved, she's included me on absolutely everything.
And I'm just honored to be amongst the other. Amazing.
Yeah. Yeah, you pulled up on us, but you're also
into fashion on the formula one track, right? That's the thing, you know, for right.
You always want to be fashion. How did fashion become such a big part of
your life? Well, when I was younger, I really felt like
I had to conform, particularly in the world that I compete in.
My father and I are the only people of color. So there was this real pressure to conform.
And as I got older, I realized that there was I found my kind of my sense of, of self got
confident from wearing fashion and how you can express yourself from what you're
wearing. And after that, I went on this journey.
And that's fashion has really helped me become the person I am today.
You're doing great. I'm really I'm just in awe of this look,
right now. I'm taking it all in.
Yeah. This is Grace Wales Bonner.
Oh, okay. Grace.
We've gone into great detail. We've got.
Obviously, Ivory is represents like.
Sorry. The shells represent currency.
Ivory represents purity. Grace is very, very much into spirituality.
And we really wanted to pay homage to the culture by, you know, particularly from our
culture of Africa, by the power of adornment.
The suit is so fly, I. Love it.
It is like, you better go ahead and say that. Yeah.
Because it is is the flower that blossoms the blooms.
Sorry, but it's really inspired by Harlem Renaissance and particularly Cab Calloway.
Harlem. Yeah.
You know, and the white on white. The white on white portraits by Barkley,
Hendricks. And yeah, this is like, it's just it's I'm so
excited to see how everyone dresses tonight. I've already seen some people in the carpet

Can you tell us what inspired this look tonight and how long it was in the works?
Look good, look good. It's been in the works for a.
Couple of months, and. I work closely with.
Pharrell. With Louis Vuitton.
And we were heavily inspired by Monica miller's book and her exhibit.
We studied a little bit on this character. Julia Soubise, which really stood out to me,
and I felt very inspired by him tonight. Well, you look good.
Can we get a 360? Because I want to see the shape of this
jacket. Yeah.

Little nervous, but it feels really good. This is one of the biggest nights in fashion.
And for it to be so black. I'm present.
I'm here, I'm here. Yeah.
You're the third woman in the history of the Grammys to win best rap album.
Yeah, we just have to take a moment for that. That is incredible.
That's so incredible. How is fashion contributed to the way you
sort of upend expectations about what a rapper should look like?
I think it's contributed a lot, especially this year.
Me having the project that I have out heavily inspired by like 90s rap, and I felt inspired
by the theme of student of hip hop. And I feel like that's very dandy, very
inspired by tonight's theme. Yeah, absolutely.
So. Oh, I love Dooney.
I. Love you girl.
Oh my God. Yes.
And your mama made that happen. Jeannie.
Yeah. Good girl.

Diaspora tonight. What was your inspiration for tonight's look?
It started. I just. Was.
Thinking about my connections to what Dandyism.
Means to me and. Some of.
The Dandiest men in my life are in my family.
And this is. inspired by my dad.
My grandfather. And then.
You know. Just like tailoring.
And the look was made by Max Davis at Ferragamo, who's like.
What we're talking about being black, being in the diaspora.
And like, what could our angle be? So yeah, we have we have this we have this
little, little tribute. He did didn't leave us anything.
I'm hungry. Not no, you two are not hungry.
Y'all eating? We're all greedy tonight.
We are all greedy. Nobody's being greedy.
Greedy? So.
Well, okay. What's more nerve racking being here at the
Met Gala, having to do the carpet or being at SNL?
Being here at the Met Gala. Having to do.
Okay. Fox, I say, I want to go, no, listen.
No. And I'm going to agree.
Yeah. It's like.
Different because I think, like with the. Show, it's like.
You can you understand the the groove a little bit.
You have at least when you're a host you have a week to kind of at least acclimate.
And here you're like time to acclimate. And then you blink and then you're like, I'm
up the stairs. Oh.
It's 4 a.m. okay. It's over.
Yeah. That's cool.
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah. But still, still exciting.
Well, you make it look easy. You really.
You really do. You do.
You make like girl? Not from the two of you.
This is crazy. I need some details.
I need some details real quick. Real quick.
Oh. You got some, baby.
Marc Jacobs on. Beautiful.
Mark on. The feet.
On the feet. You can't.
Shoe. Can you?
Can't beg him for a shoe.
Full body. It's going to be a wide because you want you
making this get closer and closer. The margaritas.
You know what I want a margarita. No, you know what?

See y'all. Inside because you just acting up, and we
still got a whole nother hour left. Okay, girl, go kill it.
We love you. We love you.
Thank you. The way we're conscious of.
The glam. Yeah.
Hold on one second.
What more can I?
One more step. Stop there.
Let's burn that.
Left.
At the end. Right there.
Just a minute. Just a minute.
My girl Miley stopped by. Miley Cyrus is here.
I had to see you. Of course, of course.
All right, let's just get right to it. Let's talk about this.
Look. Elia.
Enhanced by Cartier. I love that, I love that.
So when you hear a theme like this, how do you go into interpreting and your inspiration
for it? Well, I just look forward to who I'm going to
see and who I'm going to sit with and see everyone's interpretation.
And that's what's really exciting for me, is that this year it's really celebrating
identity and uniqueness and kind of challenging what's expected of you and going
beyond and really just being, you know, kind of proud of yourself and how you show up.
And I think watching everybody, I think of these gowns as like armor.
It's a representation of power and strength. And that's how I feel about fashion.
So I love seeing everyone's way that they're showing up and presenting that power.
I love that. So once you get inside, Miley, what is it
that you look forward to the most? Because this is this part, but then the
inside part. Well, I love looking at, you know, all the
fashion and all the art, but most importantly, just catching up with friends
that I only get to see once a year. And it's not near enough.
But, you know, we catch up because so much happens in a year's time.
Absolutely. All right. Well, I'm not going to hold you much longer.
You're the best interview I've ever done. Thank you.
Have the best time. All right.
Okay. See you.
All. Right.
Today.
Thank you.
I can't wait.

Hold on straight ahead. Stay right there.
And I.
Can we get a quick solo?
Guitar solo?
Hey.
Hand in hand. Hand, hand.
Wait wait wait wait wait. Hello?
Solo.
Jodie. Straight ahead.
Mr. Jeremy Allen White. Yes?
How are you feeling tonight? What inspired this look?
Tell us everything. I don't know, we went through a bunch of
reference photos. Over at Louis Vuitton and.
And. Yeah, we we landed on pinstripes pretty
early. We found these beautiful kind of
pearl buttons, and and. Yeah, this is just kind of.
like snugger and snugger look sharp. Taylor.
Taylor. Yes.
Tailored for you. That's right.
Yeah. That's right.
So outside of met. When do you.
Feel most fashionable? Most fashionable, I think like like when I'm
back home here in New York. Just like, like walking to the deli or like,
you know, like going to see friends on my bike out here and.
And at home. I don't know.
Yeah, yeah. You catch me, shouted you out on SNL, and.
I was there. You were there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was there. But it was funny.
They gave me, like, a y'all invited me, and then they gave me a heads up, like, we're not
inviting you to make fun of you. It's all good.
But yes. Yeah.
We have to get you to host at some point. I want to come.
Okay? I want that to happen.
That would be pretty dope. Yeah.
Okay. And we'll do something together.
Please. Please.
Thank you. Thank you.
Absolutely. Have a good.
Time tonight, you guys. Thank you.
Likewise. Good.
Hey, job. Good job.
Good job.
Together.
Forever. John.
John.
John. John.
John.
John.
John.
All right. We are at the halfway point of the evening.
And inside the museum, things are fully kicking off.
Guests have said their hellos, gotten a first look at the exhibition, and they're now
headed to cocktail hour. Since, you know, I want a margarita.
But anyway, I got to ask you first. How did you make it up the steps in those
heels? You know, it's crazy how I can.
You see my little whiskey stick? Okay, you know, that wasn't just fashion.
That was. That was functional.
I mean, that was functional. Okay.
All right. It was.
It was functional. Yeah.
I'm not mad at that. You almost got into my loafers.
But you were nice and tall and everything. Just keep these heels on.
Even on my, you know, big toes knocking at the front door.
It's knocking. We're not going to answer.
Yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna keep the toes in the shoes right now.
We're gonna switch to flats later. But you know how we get our cocktail?
The carpet. It's a marathon.
All this is a marathon. It's not a race.
So take your time, big toe. Settle down.
Enjoy the time. With vintage fashion.
The story goes. He a free man.
Legacy. Stitched and draped in vintage golden
threads. Beyond the Sunday sunrise.
Excellence running through our veins with intention.
Black hands and black minds. Gold teeth.
Black pride is my stride. This is a legacy.
Like the ones who came before. Paved the way.
Open doors, give them their flowers, nothing less.
Always more.
It's fashion's biggest night and we are live at the 2025 Met Gala, the annual fundraiser
for the Costume Institute. This year's exhibition, Superfine Tailoring
Black Style, opens to the public Saturday, May 10th.

How you do it.
Over the shoulder. The right.
All right. I'm here with the style icon and someone I
call a friend. Tracee Ellis Ross is here.
You look beautiful. Thank you so much.
You know, working my pink again. All right, let's talk about the look. Okay?
Let's talk about it. Marc Jacobs.
I feel like it's animated. Joy and artistry.
The details kill me. Like, I don't know if you can see these
pants. And Stephen Jones.
I'm 52, so Stephen Jones is a hat designer that I have been obsessed with.
He made this for me and placed it on my head for me, and I had chills all over my body.
That is, you know, a couple bangles and just like, you know, it's just a little look,
Lala, it's just a little. Look, a.
little nothing. Little about this.
Yeah, there's nothing little about it. So, Tracy, tell me when you hear a theme like
this, what does that mean. To you? Well, it got me back out of the house and
back to the met. I'm coming outside.
Coming out. I, I just I feel like I'm naturally a
dandy. I don't live by anyone else's definition of
me. And that's what I love.
About you. Yeah.
And I just feel like this is a sense of sort of claiming and owning your own identity,
fashioning it by your own terms, and that's that's this.
And your mom is my brother. I had so much fun talking to them earlier.
Your mom, I mean, I know you saw her on the carpet.
I did not. I was in the lobby of my hotel trying to get
out. Well, I told her.
I said, was she planning to just shut the whole car?
Was that the plan? Because she just shut the whole carpet down.
I was like, was. That what I explained to people is my mother
stops time. Obviously it has stopped when you look at her
and when she shows up somewhere like this because she never comes out.
It's a it's a showstopper. And your name's in her in her gown.
It's so it's. So beautiful.
It's amazing. It's so beautiful.
I hope you have the best night. You know, I always love seeing you.
Always. Good to see you.
You look gorgeous. Thank you.
As usual. Thank you.
All right.

Ladies first. Well, when I heard the theme, I just knew I
wanted it to be Ahluwalia. Who is Priya Ahluwalia, who I love so much.
And she's this amazing designer in London. And she kind of just led the way and
created this wonderful. I have to say, she did very well.
She did very well. You guys got to see.
Look at the socks. Look how cool this.
You don't have a shoe cam, but you see what's going on here.
It's pretty phenomenal. I made little pretty flowers.
I said I want matching ones after they're. Are they going to get.
Them for you? I hope so, yeah, I hope so.
Yeah. Olivier designed this from top to bottom,
which was amazing. From Beaumont.
It was great to go with him and just watch him do his magic.
I really didn't have much say. He just.
Did it. And I trusted him.
Yeah, and I mean, he's been a powerhouse designer for quite some time.
And yeah, I just put all the trust in him and he did a great job.
Yeah. Amazing.
He's crazy year for you. How do you feel the White Lotus

of dress up to watch each episode. My day off. No.
For real, Sunday is my. Day off.
I was. Like, okay, it's White Lotus night.
Yeah. I decided to order Thai food for the finale,
but so did everybody in Brooklyn, so it took two hours to come.
That's what I heard, I heard that, wow. But this is what I love about it.
Because of the weekly format, it feels like everyone comes together at the same time, and
it just makes you feel like part of this huge collective, which I love because I'm an
Aquarius. Yay!
Is it a big night? It is.
A huge. We all have to come together.

So blessed. This.
Look, I partnered with eBay this year. Me and my girlfriend Laura.
We put this piece together. We wanted.
To talk about structure. And shape because I think, you know, when you
talk about tailoring and dandyism, there is no fashion without the frame.
So this is our. Without the.
Dominican box. I say, give me no waste.
Like t you see what. I'm saying?
Like everyone wants the t waste. Oh, my.
Hey! Hold on.
Wait. So that's how we put it together.
It's all the. All the accessories.
Everything is off of eBay. And I just feel so special.
I feel so lifted and special. Like what?
Who has been an inspiration to you? You know what I.
I'm inspired by so many things. I've been living in Harlem.
Oh, you know, the streets, the the art. I think, you know, for me, it was about
paying homage to ancestors, people that have paved the way, the history and the lineage.
So I feel like even in the studying of figuring out what I wanted to wear tonight, I
learned so much about my past. And it's just I feel so honored.
I feel like I am representation of the pain and the suffering, but also the triumphs of
what our people have gone through. We've been stripped of so much so to be able
to put it on. Yeah, to put it on and feel good, you know
what I mean? So I just, I feel like I'm in my armor.
I'm in my truth. And that's really special.
And eBay really took care of us and made sure.
Check out the crown in the back. You feel me?
eBay. eBay.
Can y'all see Crown? Listen.
A ring. A song like our Crowns have been paid for
already. You feel me and adjust that crown? Yeah.

the shoulders and all of the exaggerated shapes.
I feel like he's the master of. And I am so.
So, so, so happy for that. But yeah, it's it's been a really lovely time
working with everybody. It's super easy.
How do you usually. get inspired?
I mean, you always make a headline with you. When you step.
out with the fits. So like, what?
Gets you inspired? Yeah, I think just.
everything culture, music and whatever I'm watching and.
I feel. Like I've just been inspired mostly by the
80s a lot lately. And so this was kind of what I wanted to
incorporate. That's like, madam is calling the shots.
It really is remarkable. How did you what was what was happening in
your head when you put the pen to the pad? Okay.
It's always tough. That's tough.
It's like trying. To design.
A wedding. Dress. You know, it's the most important night of
your life. And I.
Think our. Goal is always to please who will dress.
And. Luckily, Jose was very, very clear.
We got really great information and mood boards, album, etc. and so we were like,
okay, so let's take the theme, the input that we got from her creatively and let's like mix
it through our filter and like send it back, see what she thinks.
She chose this and we went to town. Yeah it clicked. Yeah.
I'm not shocked by the outcome at all. Not not even a little bit.
And now you mentioned the new album. What can we expect?
Was I wrong to say. That album?
The album. We can.
Talk about it. Okay.
Sorry. Can you give us a little something that
people want to know? And we are the people.
I've already. Teased like four songs because.
I can't wait. I can't.
Wait, but. I've already had like two.
So with the campaign. That we're doing together, we put one of the
singles on, like behind the visual for it and it's called Jealous Type.

Here with. Nick and Priyanka.
Gorgeous couple shutting it down tonight. Talk to me about this theme.
And how do you interpret this theme and bring these iconic looks together.
You know, I was so excited to to get to work. Alongside Bianca.
Saunders. designer of this beautiful look.
Wow. She is just such a vision and has such a
clear. idea of what she's what she's doing, the
story. She's telling.
And you know, I've been a fan for a long time and obviously Priyanka tonight looking
amazing in Balmain. The.
Theme for us I think is just about collaborating with excellent people who have
a real sense of, you know, a 360 view of this, this theme and what it means.
And we're happy to be here. And this is obviously not either of you first
met, but. what do you. Still.
look forward to? Coming to the met every year.
I really look. forward to people's interpretation.
Of the themes. I think it's so interesting.
And this year's. Theme, I was so excited.
About just. Because of the excellence of it, the.
tailoring of it, the fact that, you know, to me it's an expression of what fashion has
been and there's such a power to it. So I was really excited to see and also to
meet old friends and colleagues who you don't end up meeting because everyone's lives are
busy. Crazy.
That I think is the best part. Like it's so good.
To see. Absolutely.
It's always great to see you. I hope you guys have the best night tonight.
You both look stunning. Thank you.
Of course, of course. Over the shoulders of Sophia, right in front

Straight ahead of you. Right above them.
One more time. Straight ahead.
All right, so I am here with Miss Monica L. Miller, who is the guest curator of this
year's exhibition. You and I talked on zoom.
We did educated me so much about this year's theme.
So thank you for all of your help. Thank you.
With that, of course. So now this theme, this exhibition is
inspired by your book, started as your thesis.
It did. That's right.
Okay. So now, I mean, what does this feel like?
Like it was your PhD thesis and now it's the theme of the exhibition.
Like how does that feel? It feels extraordinary.
Surreal. And, you know, really fantastic.
I have to say, I never anticipated this when I wrote the book, never anticipated it when
the book was published, really didn't even imagine it when when I got the call.
But I'm I'm just delighted. It's hard.
It's hard to describe. I mean, delighted and curious and inspired.
So I'm so thankful. I'm so thankful.
Thank you. And the Superfine exhibition looks at how
black style could hold both pain and joy. And you talked about that to us.
So how did you approach curating a show that honors both pain and joy?
Right. One of the advisory board members for for the
exhibition said, we really, really need to make sure that we include the rhythm and the
blues. Right.
And I think the rhythm and the blues is actually how people, how black people
experience culture and history. Right? So it felt like it was really, really
necessary for us to be true to that. So, so in the exhibition, you know, we really
do have, you know, blues moments. But those blues moments are also in some ways
necessary to get to the to get to the rhythm. Right.
And it's also a little bit of a Saturday night and Sunday morning situation. Right.
So that we're, you know, we're celebrating Saturday night and then we're really in a
reverent place on Sunday. I'm so grateful to. You.
For just bringing all of this to us and to life and educating me and so many other
people on Superfine. I've never had such a big classroom.
I know. I was one of your your main students.
I know. Thank you so much.
You have an incredible time being celebrated tonight.
Thank you so much. All right.
Absolutely. Thank you.
Right in front of you.
Eyes right here, please. And the straight ahead of you.
Hold on.
Demonstrate the center here. Hold on in.
Here. We are here with Shahrukh Khan, who is the
first male Bollywood actor to attend the Met Gala.
Please tell us how it feels to make history tonight.
I don't know about history, but I'm extremely nervous and excited.
And Sabyasachi, who convinced me to come here.
I've not done too many red carpets and very shy.
For me it's the first time. But looking at you both, it's wonderful to be
here. Oh.
Thank you. And this is the designer tonight?
Yes, Sacha, you did a great a great job. Sabyasachi.
Yes. The carpet tonight is actually blue.
So does that make you any less nervous? No, I'm absolutely alright.
It's okay. All day.
Everything changes when you find out it's a blue carpet, right?
Got a blue carpet? Good. Yeah, I think so, I think so.
What are you most excited about tonight. Oh, for me, most exciting is I have little
kids who are very excited about med. I don't know if I would have come here on my
own, but when Serbia suggested that I should come, they went. Wow.
So I still don't know. Is it?
Wow, they call you wow. You do good on it.
Inspiration behind this look like tonight's look.
It's a nice look because I thought so bad that I only wear black and white.
But what he's designed for me is what I'm most comfortable with.
That's how I think it should be. So I'm really excited.
Yeah. I'm just.
Yeah. That's all.
And just to give you a little bit of context, Shah Rukh Khan is probably one of the most
famous men in the world, and his fan following is legendary.
And we nearly had a stampede outside the hotel when he came out.
And you know, when you get a man like this on the red carpet, especially when it's black
boundary, I think representation is the most important thing.
And we wanted to represent Shah Rukh Khan as Shah Rukh Khan and nobody else.
Okay, well, I think you did your thing, cherry.
You look fantastic. I hope your kids are proud.
You got to be proud of dad. Dad, dad did his thing.
Did his thing? Yeah, yeah.

my theme is like the Harlem, the true Harlem Danny era, which I take to the Harlem
Renaissance. Hey.
So I'm wearing a zoot suit that personifies the Harlem Renaissance.
And when the sincopa okay, you know the symbols which symbolize we need to go back,
which is what I did to get to where I am today.
So everything that I'm trying to say today is about how do we bring the culture up and how
do we go back and get what we need and bring it back in.

I'm so glad you stopped. To chat.
So there. Are. the Vogue live streams.
Of course. You always come and talk to us.
Absolutely. There are so many different ways to interpret
this year's theme. So how did you bring it all to life?
Because I love your look. I just wanted something very.
tailor made for me. I spoke.
To Anna. And she.
Said, tailor made, remember? That is the theme tailor made for you.
And then this kind of was inspired in support of all of those gorgeous, gorgeous dandies,
the women that then honored them and supported them or protected them.
So I'm happy to be here as one of them. Of course.
And you've been to a few Mets, obviously. So you still.
Look forward to when you come to. The met.
I mean. It's just such it's lovely to just celebrate
fashion in this AD and couture and tailoring, and particularly tonight, the tailoring,
because there's all the people behind the scenes who do all that beautiful, all.
That beautiful work. And as with I mean, when you really look at
this theme, it dandy is all about where you take a black suit and put a beautiful
different button or something to where you where it's completely individual and made for
you. Absolutely.
Which I love. I love it too. Well.

This amazing. Cartier piece.
My brooches are Tiffany, and then, you know. I have to throw on a beautiful AP.
Diva is killing it. I was just about to say eBay.
eBay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I think it's eBay is such a place to find treasures, right?
It could be something that you saw in the past that you.
You know, for me, it was like things I. Couldn't.
Afford, you know? And.
When I got that little money up, I went to eBay so I could find it.
But no, I just I am such a I am such an obsessive eBay shopper.
So you talked about that before we sit down with eBay.
Yeah. It's like, yeah, we had a whole little Kiki
about eBay. Yeah, yeah, we got some girl.
You got to. Are you most excited about tonight, though?
I'm excited to see a lot of black. People.
And I know I've. Seen you.
And, you know, I just feel like tonight's going to be like a family reunion.
And it's a lot of kinship. And, you know, seeing my friends and meeting
new people and, you know, and just, I don't know, just feel celebrated and celebrating
our culture and and the significance and what we've been able to bring to not only fashion
but pop culture in general. So I'm super excited.
I mean, how does it feel to be here? Because let's also be clear, you know, he
killed the whole Vogue spread like y'all. Let's be like f ING for real right now.
Like law has done a lot of work. So how does it feel to just be here?
Do you feel like you've exhaled yet? No, no.
No, I feel like I'm still living in a dream, you know, to have that opportunity to style
you. And I think it was 30 other, you know,
talents across all disciplines. And, you know, I was telling somebody about
the story the other day when when it was you, all the girls were getting their hair done.
It was just like being in a barbershop, a beauty shop on Saturday morning.
On Saturday morning. Listen, you know what I mean?
And it was just like. It was just.
It felt like a family reunion. And that's what I'm hoping to see tonight as
well. Yeah.

three of us would have been. You already know we're gonna get in there,
cut out when you go on those blue stairs, and then you go into the met, you're going to see

As soon as I saw you, I just got happy. I'm like, okay, everything, everything.
Everything's better now. The look is incredible.
So tell me about it. Vera Wang, inspired by Dorothy Dandridge.
A little. Masculine with a feminine tribute.
Taking the gowns. You got the pants underneath?
Yes. You know, pretty.
Much just wanted. To inhabit the tailoring, but also the
history of black culture, fashion as a tool to enter spaces that often were not allowed.
So that's why I wanted to take the inspiration, Dorothy Dandridge, all the doors
that she'd opened for us with fashion and beauty.
So yeah, it looks incredible. You look absolutely incredible.
So after being to a couple Mets, what do you still look forward to on a night like
tonight? Everybody's interpretation of the theme, it's
always different. Everybody's going here, there and everywhere
in between. So I love seeing how people bring their
artistry. To it.
Right? Right.
So what's next for you? Because I feel like you're always working.
I'm like, I can never complain about working too much.
I just see you and I'm like, I just can't say anything about working, girl.
You know, Kiki, don't keep a job. Kiki.
Kiki, girl, keep a job. Keep a job, Palmer.

I was just with them in the. Studio in.
Korea, so it's nice to just just have family here.
I'm really excited. That's so much fun to have people you can
hang out with and chill with. And I think it's.
Really important. It is important.

So I'm wearing Anthony Vaccarello. I love Anthony.
Yeah. He's amazing.
And of course we're wearing a tailor made tuxedo.
One of the most iconic pieces in the wardrobe.
And so I was really excited because he specifically made this tuxedo fit for this
look. And he assigned me with red heels I want.
I love. The whole world to see that I love it.
Yeah. So I've been trying to ask you guys to give
us a little bit of info about the upcoming tour.

I appreciate that so much. Tonight's theme is so important.
Superfine celebrating black men's fashion. Black culture.
Black fashion. What does this theme mean to you?
To me, it means it is a wonderful thing that is being celebrated
tonight. I appreciate that, but the reality is I
believe that God has celebrated what we have done since the beginning of time.
Because this is why, since we were created, we've created style.
Whether it be in music, whether it be in. Dance.
Whether it. Be it.
The most important thing, love.
And I just. Say we have to commit ourselves.
Yes. Black men all over the world.
Black people all over the world, Africa, everywhere.
Pull yourselves and bring us together so that we can bring the world together with what is
needed. Most of all in life today.
Love, not confusion, not hate, love.
