The 2025 Costume Institute Benefit honored Black dandyism with its “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme, inspired by Barnard College chair and professor Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.”

Suits unsurprisingly dominated the step-and-repeat, with Met co-chairs Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, A$AP Rocky and Pharrell Williams wearing some of the night’s top takes. Meanwhile, Zendaya, Rihanna, Coco Jones and Janelle Monáe gave the boys a run for their money in sharply cut suiting of their own.
