5 reasons the 2025 Met Gala will be the most iconic and revolutionary yet

The Met Gala has always been a spectacle, part fashion circus, part cultural reckoning, but this year, it’s not just about who wears what. It’s about who rewrites the rules. On 5 May 2025, the Metropolitan Museum of Art will transform into a cathedral of Black style, where every stitch will tell a story of defiance, elegance, and unapologetic flair. Forget "fashion as art" because this is fashion as armour, as rebellion, as a centuries-long mic drop.


1. Unpacking the theme: The legacy of Black Dandyism

For those unfamiliar, Black dandyism is more than just a fashion statement. It’s a form of resistance, identity exploration, and cultural transformation. Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s ground-breaking work, Slaves to Fashion, this year’s theme takes us through centuries of Black fashion history.

Ranbir's 'Ramayana' will go global using AI, says producer Namit Malhotra

Producer Namit Malhotra is betting big on Ramayana, not just as a film for Indian audiences, but as a story that can speak to viewers across the world. At the WAVES Summit in Mumbai, Malhotra shared how the upcoming mythological drama, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, is being developed with a global ambition, bringing together high-end tech with cultural roots.

He explained that the team isn’t just dubbing the film into other languages. Instead, they’re using real-time AI to match lip movements to multiple languages, so when audiences watch it in English, Spanish, or Japanese, it looks like the actors are actually speaking those tongues. The idea is to avoid the usual detachment of subtitles or awkward dubbing, and instead make the film feel native to each region.
