The Met Gala, often dubbed “fashion’s biggest night out,” is an annual fundraising affair for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. Started in 1948 by American fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert, the event has grown in prestige and scale over the years and is currently known for attracting an array of stars from film, music, fashion and more— all converging to celebrate the Costume Institute’s latest exhibition.

This year, the Institute’s spring exhibit, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” is the official theme of the night, spotlighting the sartorial tradition of Black Dandyism.
