Met Gala 2025 is all about the history and meaning of Black dandyism and the same was reflected beautifully at the venue - the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The theme for the Met Gala 2025 is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, an ode to the fashion icon that is the Black dandy.

The venue was all blue with daffodils strewn on the blue carpet, the barricades comprised of the flowers and much more of it hanging from the high ceiling. Parts of the venue had installations covered in flowers with water in them, reflecting the decor above. Needless to say, the Metropolitan Museum of Art was a sight to behold ahead of fashion's biggest night. The 63000 square feet MET Gala carpet has been made in Kerala, India, for the third time.

Talking about the significance of the daffodils, a social media user noted, "The carpet of Met Gala is covered in DAFFODILS — flowers deeply rooted in Dandyism and Queer culture. The daffodil is linked to the myth of Narcissus, a youth who fell in love with his own reflection and transformed into the flower."
