Almost entirely focused on menswear, with a focus on Black dandyism, the museum's impending exhibit served as the inspiration for the 2025 Met Gala's theme.

Vogue claimed that the “Tailored for You” event was purposefully designed to provide guidance and incite creative interpretation, which meant that attendees should be dressed in suits that express their personal preferences and sense of style.

The Met Gala has been shrouded in mystery beyond the star-studded red carpet. Celebrities are not allowed to take their phones inside, and minimal photos are allowed inside the Met during the gala.

While the details of what happens inside the event are hazy, here’s what to know about who gets invited to the Met Gala and how much it costs to attend.

How much does it cost to attend?

According to CBS News’ MoneyWatch, an individual ticket to the Met Gala costs $75,000 in 2025.

The report also stated that this was the same price in 2024, and the Met confirmed that a 10-person table that year started at $350,000.
