The first Monday in May is almost upon us, which means we’ll soon be tuned into the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps for the 2025 Met Gala. This year’s co-hosts- Colman Domingo, A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton, and Pharrell Williams- cover Vogue’s May issue. Four men, all fashion juggernauts, brought their unique dapper style to the iconic glossy.
Vogue’s May Issue is just a taste of what we can expect on May 5. The theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” with a focus on Black Dandyism.

All eyes will be on one of the most fashionable men in the world, Colman Domingo, on the Met Gala grand stage. As they should. According to Vogue, the respected actor “met with Monica L. Miller, guest curator of the Costume Institute’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” exhibition, to start scouting references.”
“I am a Black man who loves style, loves tailoring, and it struck me that I had never seen images like that—of myself, saying, I belong in these clothes,” he says. “I always had to look for a vision outside of myself,” he said.
Harlem native A$AP Rocky took it back to his hometown for his cover shoot. Before today’s release, images of the fashionable hip-hop father walking dalmations in the street giving A$AP Deville. But for the rapstar and father of Rihanna’s children, “That’s regular for us, bro,” he said in his interview. “I’m from Harlem, we showed y’all how to do this.”
A$AP is looking forward to seeing “everybody celebrate Black excellence,” Rocky says. “When people celebrate a different culture or race,” he adds, “sometimes it’s done with intent, sometimes with ulterior motives.” The exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” strikes Rocky as “genuine…and very, very, very.…”
Lewis Hamilton was “blown away” when he heard the theme for this year’s Met Gala. The A1 racer broke down what Black Dandyism means to him in an as told to cover story. “What hit home hardest is how far back it goes, and that there are so many different ways to present as a man; you don’t have to be traditionally masculine,” he explained. “And Black men have always had to be more excellent than our white counterparts. I’ve seen that with my father and with me—we needed to be overachievers. That’s why this theme is just so important to me.”
Ultimately, he hopes this year’s dress code sparks conversation and reconfirms the connection between fashion and self-expression, and how deep it runs in Black culture.”
Pharrell’s unique illustrated cover is as artistic as he it. The Louis Vuitton’s creative director of menswear revealed his take on Dandyism. “I see dandyism as a set of rules and standards,” he says, “that reflect a certain sophistication and well-traveled taste. For Black people to hit that mark or exceed it, and be consistent with it, is a matter of pride. And consistency garners respect.”
