This year the Fundraising Gala is organized in the Metropolitan Museum of Art From a group of black male celebrities, Including Williams, the music artist and Louis Vuitton Menswear Director as well as Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo and A $ ap rocky, with NBA superstar LeBron James as an honorary chair. Anna Wintour from Vogue, the mastermind behind the gala, is considered the largest and the largest party of the year.

The gala increases most of the curation budget for the museum's costume institute.

This year's MET GALA dress code is …

It is more of a fixed suggestion. From Wintour. This year it is about how the history and meaning of black dandyism over the Atlantic diaspora represents a seamstress and adaptation. The The topic is inspired by the annual spring exhibition, This year is largely based on “slaves to fashion: black dandyism and the styling of black diasporic identity”, a book by Monica L. Miller. She is a guest curator of the exhibition.

“The historical manifestations of dandyism range from absolute precision in dress and adaptation to flamboyance and fabulous in dress and style,” writes Miller in the exhibition catalog. “Whether a dandy is subtle or spectacular, we recognize the intention of the dress, the self -confident representation, the range for tailor -made perfection and the sometimes subversive self -expression.”

How the dress code is related to taste and style is everyone's assumption. Wintour has a hand in practically all gala, so the assumption is that things cannot go too far from the rails. She recently put down the rumor that she approved all looks and told “Good Morning America” ​​that she is in question when asked.

The exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring the Black Style” is based on other sources beyond Miller's book. It is organized in 12 sections. Every symbolizes a characteristic of the dandy style As defined by Zora Neal Hurston in 1934 “characteristics of the negro expression”.

Among them: property, presence, distinction, disguise, freedom, respectability and heir. Presumably, for gala guests who do profound research (or stylists), some of these factors in the museum steps, which serve as the red carpet of the event.

Who will still appear?

The guest list corresponds to about 450 top -class people from technology, sports, art, entertainment and more. The mix, said Williams, is a must.

“It is so important to me that I have successful black and brown people in every strip in the room: not only athletes and actresses, entertainers, but also authors, architects, people from the Fintech world,” he told Vogue. “We have to invest together. We have to combine each other because it will all get it to merge the power of the black and brown genius to a strong, reliable force.”
