2025 Met Gala livestream hosts announced two weeks before the big event

The hosts for this year’s Met Gala red carpet livestream have officially been announced.

The Met Gala — held each year in New York City on the first Monday in May — is a star-studded fundraiser that supports the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.

On Tuesday, Vogue named Teyana Taylor, TV star La La Anthony, and Saturday Night Live’s Ego Nwodim as their 2025 livestream hosts.

Emma Chamberlain will also be returning as Vogue’s special correspondent to catch all the stars before they enter the Met.

The Vogue livestream will start at 6 p.m. EST on Monday, May 5, on their website, YouTube, and TikTok.

While both Anthony, 41, and Chamberlain, 23, have hosted the event the last few years, this will be Nwodim and Taylor’s first time.

In OctoberVogue announced the Costume Institute’s upcoming spring 2025 exhibit, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

According to Vogue, the exhibition draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. The museum’s exhibit will feature “garments, paintings, photographs, and more – all exploring the indelible style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th-century through present day.”

Louis Vuitton’s Menswear Creative Director Pharrell Williams will be displayed in the contemporary section, as well as designs by Off-White founder Virgil Abloh, who tragically passed away in 2021.

Williams also serves as co-chair alongside Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, actor Colman Domingo, and rapper A$AP Rocky. Legendary basketball player LeBron James was named honorary co-chair. Of course, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour will once again preside over the Met Gala as co-chair.

The event will mark the first time since 2003’s “Men in Skirts” that the Costume Institute has debuted an exhibit exclusively focused on menswear. Miller, whose book serves as inspiration for “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” will serve as guest curator alongside Bolton.

In February, the Costume Institute announced that guests will be expected to dress in accordance with a concept labeled “Tailored for You” to complement the new Spring 2025 exhibit, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

This year’s guidelines will likely witness renditions of classic suiting from the double-breasted, kaleidoscopic design of a zoot suit to the more contemporary, baggy silhouette typically seen on Willy Chavarria’s runway.

The committee this year will include Simone Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens, Dapper Dan, Doechii, Edward Enniful, Ayo Ediebiri, Jeremy O Harris, André 3000, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Grace Wales Bonner, Jordan Casteel, Regina King, Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis Lee, Rashid Johnson, Audra McDonald, Jeremy Pope, Angel Reese, Janelle Monáe, Sha’Carri Richardson, USHER, Olivier Rousteing, Tyla, and Kara Walker.

All attendees will be served a gourmet dinner prepared by Chef Kwame Onwuachi. The gala decor will be designed by Cy Gavin, Raúl Àvila, and Derek McLane.
