LeBron James will be serving as an honorary chair, marking the basketball legend’s first Met Gala appearance.The 2025 Met Gala will be reprising an old tradition of having a host committee as well, comprised of Simone Biles, Jonathan Owens, Spike Lee, Regina King, Doechii, Usher, Tyla, Janelle Monáe, André 3000, Audra McDonald, Ayo Edebiri, Jeremy O. Harris, and others.  A post shared by Vogue Runway (@voguerunway)With the dress code asking celebrities to suit up, social media users urged the stars to make sure they have clothes on when stepping onto the red carpet and posing on the museum’s famous steps.The sentiment could be the result of the recent 2025 Grammys red carpet looks, with Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori shocking onlookers by putting her entire body on display.Share iconImage credits: Taylor Hill/WireImageShare iconImage credits: Victor Boyko/Getty Images“Maybe the ladies will actually wear clothes,” one said about the dress code while another urged, “Please wear clothes.”“It’d be fantastic idea if the dress code was just a simple 2 word sentence: Wear CLOTHES!” read a third comment.“Just put your clothes on and get accolades on your talent,” another bluntly said.Share iconImage credits: Kevin Mazur/Getty ImagesShare iconImage credits: Lionel Hahn/Getty Images“I hope the dress code requires the ladies to wear clothes…I don’t care to see someone’s boobies or axxes,” another said.“Thank you, tired of seeing these women’s fake assets,” another harshly said.Several social media users moaned about the dress code being “boring” this year, thinking it will be a snooze fest to see men simply showing up in black suits.Share iconImage credits: sxlxnaquinnShare iconImage credits: buffys“The amount of men that will wear tailored black suits to the Met Gala,” one said while another wrote, “Met Gala theme boring again ohhhh sis we’re sleepy.”“I’ll be the first to say it,” read another comment, “that Met Gala theme is weird, I don’t want to see a bunch of white people impersonating black time period pieces.”“ … As if anything is going to stop them from grabbing the same black suit in their closets and calling it a day,” another wrote. “Only certain names you can count on.”Share iconImage credits: Duke University PressShare iconImage credits: The National Arts ClubThe 2025 Met Gala theme is also the same theme for the Costume Institute’s Spring exhibition.The theme was inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.Image credits: The MetCharacterized by impeccable tailoring, dandyism is a movement that is centered around sophistication and self-expression.The “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme is making Black dandy the subject of the glamorous event to showcase how it played a significant role in shaping the Black culture and identities.The last time the Costume Institute’s exhibition exclusively focused on menswear was in 2003 with the “Men in Skirts” theme.Share iconImage credits: KeithOneAl_Share iconImage credits: JoeMaristelaShare iconImage credits: hellavevoShare iconImage credits: arianaunextShare iconImage credits: BoujeeNBanjeeThe annual charity event normally hosts around 450 attendees, and raises eight-figure sums every year.Last year’s theme was Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, and the gala’s dress code was The Garden of Time.The event was co-chaired by Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, and Wintour.Share iconImage credits: Kevin Mazur/MG24/Getty ImagesZendaya was dressed in a bold Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano creation design last year while Lopez wore a sparkly Schiaparelli gown with silver heels.Chris Hemsworth posed on the red carpet in a cream-colored Tom Ford suit with his wife, Elsa Pataky.Stars were also slammed last year for missing the mark, making their way to the list of “fashion fails from the Met Gala 2024.”Image credits: The National Arts ClubDoja Cat had showed up in what appeared to be a wet white gown and had black teardrops falling from her smokey eyes. “Doja came to MET Gala in the middle of [a] shower,” a netizen joked at the time.Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian left people shocked over her astonishingly tiny waist on the Met Gala red carpet.Share iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconAnyone can write on Bored Panda.

Oh yes, let the 2025 hunger games gala begin!People trying to start a race thing before it’s even happened. Also, yes, a stipulation should be no nipples, and definitely no f***y on display. I mean Kanyenot and his naked slave will probably attempt the red carpet anyway and I hope security is on high alert and spray her with a supersoaker.Spray HER with the super soaker? What, and give every man a hard on as she writhes glistening wet? No. Instead someone should spray kanye down – he’s the one pulling the puppet strings. Don’t punish the puppet. Punish the puppeteer for his vile actions.Spray him with mace. Or cat pee. Or really any pee. Or a skunk. Maybe a combo of all these? 🤔 Yeah. That’s a good idea. 🤩Thank you, KAM, for saying this. How can people not see that she is his sex slave? She is so brainwashed and manipulated by him that she allows herself to be constantly humiliated in public. It is so painful every time it happens.It seems to me that if Kanye and his blow-up doll aren’t invited then we needn’t worry about naked people, but if they are, in fact, invited, then we’ll know it’s about publicity and not style.Watch Kanye and his wife show up… He’ll be in some god awful “Suit” she’ll be in her “Birthday Suit”… Again… but this time literally nothing. *SIGH*Oh yes, let the 2025 hunger games gala begin!People trying to start a race thing before it’s even happened.
