This age group will be learn for coevals .

The 2025Met Galais next Monday, and no one is more excited than me — someone who could not be further from the action if I tried. But that won’t stop me from being glued to the stream, because what better dopamine rush than judging celebrities on how well they can stick to a theme.

But even if you don’t particularly care about the Met, this year is exciting for a number of reasons. 2025 marks the first time that the group of co-chairs for the Met has been made up entirely of a cohort of Black men. This goes along with the theme of the event and the MOMA Costume Institute’s Spring exhibit:Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, as the dress code will be focused on Black menswear and the history of Dandyism.

And if that wasn’t cool enough, along with the incredible group of co-chairs, the all-Black host committee is made up of some incredible writers, actors, artists, and more. So to get us all excited, here’s an in-depth look at all the co-chairs and members of the host committee, highlighting some of their best red carpet moments that show us exactly why they were picked for this prestigious event.

As always, the esteemed Anna Wintour will be serving as a co-chair of the Met this year. But accompanying her is the following cohort…

Colman Domingo

Sir Lewis Hamilton

A$AP Rocky

Pharrell Williams

And honorary co-chair, LeBron James.
