Explore the extraordinary stories of stylish Black individuals across art, literature, music, and society. Coming May 2025, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” will examine the historical and cultural emergence of the Black dandy. Inspired by curator Monica Miller’s 2009 book, "Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity," the exhibition will present a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy, from the figure’s emergence in Enlightenment Europe during the 18th century to today’s incarnations in cities around the world. Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour will co-chair the next #CostumeInstitute Benefit on the First Monday in May. LeBron James will serve as honorary chair. The Benefit, also known as The Met Gala, celebrates the opening of the 2025 exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” and provides The Costume Institute with its primary source of annual funding for exhibitions, publications, acquisitions, operations, and capital improvements. “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” opens to the public on May 10 and will be celebrated at the 2025 Met Gala on May 5. #SuperfineStyle #MetGala2025

Happy New Year from The Met! 🪩 Start 2025 with a closer look at Awol Erizku's dazzling "Nefertiti–Miles Davis," a mirrored tile bust of the Egyptian queen inspired by Miles Davis’s 1968 album Nefertiti. Suspended from the ceiling and rotating like a disco ball, this work explores the intersection of music and visual art, highlighting diasporic connections to ancient Egypt. Erizku frequently features Nefertiti in his work, blending references from culture coded as "urban" and the art-historical canon to examine themes of race, identity, and history. 🎨 Awol Erizku (Ethiopian American, 1988). Nefertiti–Miles Davis, 2017. Hand-coated foam and mirrored tile.
