The 2025 Met Gala, set for May 5, 2025 at the Met’s Costume Institute in NYC, will spotlight "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," an exhibition honoring the cultural impact of Black fashion. Event chairs Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour -- joined by honorary chair LeBron James -- will lead the celebration. This is the first time all co-chairs, aside from Wintour, are male. Here’s a look back at images of the chairs through the years.
