The 2025 Met Gala, held on May 5, embraced the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” honoring the rich legacy of Black dandyism and its impact on fashion as both art and resistance.

Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion, the exhibition celebrated how Black men have historically used tailoring and personal style to assert identity and defy societal constraints.

With a dress code titled “Tailored For You,” the red carpet featured a bold reinterpretation of classic menswear, led by co-chairs Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, and Lewis Hamilton. Their looks, along with others, fused tradition with avant-garde flair—offering a striking visual narrative of individuality, cultural pride, and the transformative power of style.

Nevertheless, REY Magazine curated its own list of standout men’s looks from the 2025 Met Gala—and here are our top picks:

Alton Mason in custom BOSS.

Patrick Schwarzegger in Balmain

Lewis Hamilton in Wales Bonner.

Bad Bunny in Prada.

Andrew Scott in Giuliva Heritage.

Keith Powers in Boss.

Haider Ackermann with the queen of pop Madonna, both in Tom Ford.

Shaboozey in Robert Wun.

“Menswear is a detail-driven business,” says Mr Tom Ford, who brings his eye for precision to a highly acclaimed offering of immaculately tailored suits, plush cashmere and refined accessories. The American luxury brand’s latest collection, inspired by the mod subculture of the 1960s, is now exclusively available at MR PORTER.

‘‘The inspiration for this collection draws from the mod and punk era that once took London by storm in the 1960s. You can expect a focus on sharp tailoring and outerwear in a monochromatic color palette, using classic English fabrics like flannel, puppytooth, and herringbone.’’ F.Y
