The Met Gala theme and dress code are inspired by the 2009 book "Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity."

Officially, the dress code is "tailored for you." And while guests are invited to take that to " creative interpretation ," the exhibition they will be arriving at will be "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." It's a look at how clothing and style is connected to Black identities.
