The 78th Cannes Film Festival (May 13 - 24th, 2025) began under clear skies, but with a bit of a rocky start as new rules on the fashion were put in place just 1 day ahead of the festival.

The 2025 Met Gala, held on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, celebrated the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," focusing on Black dandyism—a distinctive fashion and cultural movement.

From the red carpet to the after-parties, the night was a masterclass in high-concept dressing — and it raised record-breaking funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the process.

As the fashion world eagerly anticipates the 2025 Met Gala, set to take place on Monday, May 5, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, excitement is mounting for what promises to be another unforgettable evening. This year's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," aims to celebrate the artistry and influence of Black designers and the rich history of Black dandyism in fashion.
