The theme of the 2025 Met Gala, held on May 5, was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” celebrating the rich legacy of Black dandyism and the styling of Black diasporic identity, first explored in a 2009 publication.

This year’s dress code, “Tailored for You,” paid tribute to the art of suiting and menswear featured in the exhibition.

Diljit made history as the first person to wear a turban to the Met Gala. In one of the videos shared on his Instagram handle, he is also seen with world-famous singer Shakira.
