Met Gala 2025: How to look at, topics, hosts as soon as possible rock and more

Follow our live report on the 2025 Met Gala Red Carpet.

In the meantime, you probably know that the first Monday in May is not just an old Monday: It is the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute, also known as the Oscars of the east coast or the party of the year. We consider it to be the fashion X games or the all-star game of the entrances.

This year, however, things are a bit more complicated, partly because the first Monday in May is also the middle of the NBA playoffs and the beginning of the jury selection in the Sean Combs exam.

Wait, why are the NBA playoffs important?

Because Lebron James is the honorary chairman of the gala and his Los Angeles Lakers would have made it into the conference semi -final, he could not have participated. A defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday in front of the gala seemed to clarify the way for his number of visitors, but the point is now controversial: On Monday, Mr. James said that he could no longer make it into the event because of a knee injury he had suffered at the court.

“I hate to miss a historical event!” he wrote. “My beautiful mighty queen will be there and hold down the castle as she always did!”

Who is still a host?

Queen of everyone who interviews her is Anna Wintour, the Chief Content Officer from Condé Nast and editor -in -chief of his marquee magazine Vogue. Ms. Wintour has been the chief master of the gala since 1999 after he first signed in 1995, and has transformed the event from an ordinary charity gala into a mega show case for Vogue's view of the world transformed the ultimate celebrity-power cocktail of famous names of fashion, tech, politics, sport and social media. Each brand scratches the back of another brand.
