It\u2019s the first concept since 2003 to focus on menswear as it explores the Black dandy in its sartorial form throughout history.

Custom suits, knee breeches, overcoats, ties, and hats were all avenues of sartorial rebellion for Black men who didn\u2019t see themselves reflected in the European-dominated fashion space. More modern interpretations of Black dandyism came in the form of \u201870s zoot suits and \u201890s monogrammed suits \u00e0 la Harlem designer Dapper Dan. Today, a plethora of Black designers \u2014 think Pharrell Williams for Louis Vuitton menswear \u2014 have expanded the boundaries of dandy fashion to encompass womenswear, gowns, streetwear and more, though the term\u2019s core, subversive spirit remains the same.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Ahead of the first Monday in May, where we expect Black-owned fashion brands to take center stage, find five Black designers that we predict will dominate the 2025 Met Gala red carpet to fully embody the Black dandy.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-270136\" class=\"content_block paragraph image triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Christopher_John_Rogers\"><\/span>\n        Christopher John Rogers<br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_760,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/GettyImages-1340173207_r5nqp9\/met-gala-2025-what-is-black-dandy-theme-designers.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/GettyImages-1340173207_r5nqp9\/met-gala-2025-what-is-black-dandy-theme-designers.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/GettyImages-1340173207_r5nqp9\/met-gala-2025-what-is-black-dandy-theme-designers.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/GettyImages-1340173207_r5nqp9\/met-gala-2025-what-is-black-dandy-theme-designers.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/GettyImages-1340173207_r5nqp9\/met-gala-2025-what-is-black-dandy-theme-designers.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/GettyImages-1340173207_r5nqp9\/met-gala-2025-what-is-black-dandy-theme-designers.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/GettyImages-1340173207_r5nqp9\/met-gala-2025-what-is-black-dandy-theme-designers.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/GettyImages-1340173207_r5nqp9\/met-gala-2025-what-is-black-dandy-theme-designers.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/GettyImages-1340173207_r5nqp9\/met-gala-2025-what-is-black-dandy-theme-designers.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/GettyImages-1340173207_r5nqp9\/met-gala-2025-what-is-black-dandy-theme-designers.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/GettyImages-1340173207_r5nqp9\/met-gala-2025-what-is-black-dandy-theme-designers.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"60vw\" alt=\"What is Black dandy style?

In 2019, the Louisiana-born designer took home the top prize at the 16th CFDA\/Vogue fashion fund and since then Rogers\u2019s kaleidoscopic armor of suiting and formalwear has constantly pushed the limits of Black fashion through a rainbow-hued assortment of voluminous gowns and two-toned sets. He\u2019s dressed everyone from former First Lady Michelle Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris to Zendaya and Beyonc\u00e9. Rogers is confirmed to attend the 2025 Met Gala, and his colorful twist on Black dandyism will likely come in the form of an elaborate gown that\u2019s guaranteed to stand out in a sea full of (what will most likely be) all-black everything. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-270144\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dapper_Dan\"><\/span>\n        Dapper Dan<br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DF0Sx6TRh9r\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

He famously dressed Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama for the 2021 Presidential Inauguration and made headlines at the 2023 Met Gala for outfitting Keke Palmer and La La Anthony, proving his knack for working with Black trailblazers at the height of the cultural zeitgeist. It\u2019s likely he\u2019ll be doing the same at this year\u2019s event, having already confirmed his attendance.

Four years later, Thompson, leading his own brand Theophilio, is (almost) certainly returning to dress the biggest stars of the night. His most notable work includes paying homage to American fashion with Sha\u2019Carri Richardson\u2019s fiery ensemble and Alton Mason\u2019s white crystal-embellished suit at the 2021 Met Gala. <\/p>\n<p>The Brooklyn-based designer demonstrates how far the Black dandy spectrum extends with contemporary casual and Jamaican-inspired pieces at the heart of the brand. With his latest <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DIgmKQUxyUz\/\">fall 2025 collection<\/a> inspired by his father\u2019s wardrobe, Thompson proves that the Black dandy is very much true to the Theophilio agenda, too.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-270142\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wales_Bonner\"><\/span>\n        Wales Bonner<br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DHqrislN8-T\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Bonner founded her label in 2014 and over her career the award-winning designer has deconstructed and reimagined classic menswear silhouettes with a nuanced lens, often exploring a fused perspective of European heritage and Black identity through relaxed silhouettes. We can expect Bonner to continue her storytelling of Black identity through elegant menswear pieces on herself and other stars.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">India Roby<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
