The theme of the Met Gala changes each year and is tied to the Costume Institute's latest exhibition. Here are the most recent themes:
- 2024: "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" with the dress code "The Garden of Time," focusing on rare and beautiful pieces in the Costume Institute's collection
- 2025: "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," inspired by Monica L. Miller's book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. This theme highlights Black menswear and dandyism from the 18th century to the present, marking the first Met Gala in over 20 years to focus on menswear. The dress code was "Tailored for You," celebrating elegance, tailoring, and cultural expression through Black style
If you are asking about the theme for a specific year other than these, please specify which year.
