Fashion's biggest night of the year is here once again, with the 2025 Met Gala underway in New York. 

This year, the event's theme is 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style', celebrating black dandyism with a focus on suits, tailoring, and menswear. 

While honorary chair LeBron James will not attend the event - owing to a knee injury - the Gala will still feature some of the biggest names in world sports.
