Colman Domingo ’s 2025 Met Gala Look Got Anna Wintour’s Seal of Approval

Colman Domingo is officially ready to steal the show at the 2025 Met Gala — and he already has Anna Wintour’s blessing to prove it.

In a recent episode of Vogue’s The Run-Through podcast, Domingo shared the behind-the-scenes story of sending his highly anticipated Met Gala look to Wintour herself. After nervously texting her his outfit reveal, he admitted he spiraled while waiting for a response. Hours later, at exactly 9:47 p.m., the fashion icon finally replied with just three words: “Work of art.”

“I died with the response,” Domingo said. “I’m good, you guys! I’m gonna be alright”

2025 Met Gala Theme: “Tailored for You”

This year’s Met Gala celebrates the Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibit Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, inspired by Monica L. Miller’s groundbreaking book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.

With tailoring, Black style, and personal expression at the forefront, the dress code — “Tailored for You” — invites bold, deeply personal takes on menswear fashion. Expect sharp suits, statement silhouettes, and museum-worthy custom pieces gracing the iconic Met steps.

Colman Domingo: From Debut to Co-Chair

After a stunning Met Gala debut in 2024 in a Willy Chavarria suit that paid homage to Chadwick Boseman and André Leon Talley, Domingo is stepping into an even bigger spotlight this year. He’s co-chairing the 2025 Met Gala alongside Anna Wintour, Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton, and honorary chair LeBron James — a true gathering of style legends.

What to Expect from Domingo’s 2025 Look

While Domingo is keeping the specifics of his outfit under wraps, fans can expect nothing less than a show-stopping ensemble. His past red carpet choices hint at a blend of structure and soul, with nods to Black fashion history delivered with his signature confidence.

With just days left before the big night on May 5, one thing’s for certain: Colman Domingo’s look is already iconic — even before he hits the Met steps.
