Between bites, the video shifts to lighthearted banter \u2014 and a rule reminder. “We’re not supposed to have our phones,” Stallion\u00a0says<\/a>\u00a0on camera. Tracee Ellis Ross, overhearing,\u00a0chimes in<\/a>\u00a0with a laugh, “Not at all. Put your phone away.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Stallion then\u00a0admits<\/a>, “I snuck the phone inside,” before sharing more candid clips from the event. “I’m not supposed to have this,” she\u00a0says<\/a>, offering a look at the venue’s setup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Met Gala, hosted by Vogue and held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, enforces a strict no-phone, no-social-media policy once guests enter the venue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As\u00a0outlined<\/a>, “Guests must abide by a no-phone (and, therefore, no social media) policy once they’ve entered the museum.” This is intended to preserve the exclusive nature of the event and protect the privacy of its high-profile attendees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the gala and exhibition are made possible by Louis Vuitton, with major support from Instagram, the Hobson\/Lucas Family Foundation, Africa Fashion International, and The Perry Foundation, among others.

\n

The exhibition, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, provides a detailed cultural and historical examination of Black sartorial expression through the lens of dandyism \u2014 a fashion philosophy blending self-expression, rebellion, and elegance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The display explores how Black communities have used tailoring, textiles, and silhouette to challenge stereotypes, assert identity, and reshape mainstream fashion narratives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Artist Torkwase Dyson\u00a0created a series of<\/a>\u00a0monumental structures or “architectural zones,”\u00a0using her signature<\/a>\u00a0“hypershapes” to frame themes such as theatricality, reflection, scale, liberation, and transcendence. These structures allow visitors to interact with the deeper meanings of Black style across time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sculptor Tanda Francis contributed two large bronze-inspired mannequin heads, one of which features multiple silhouetted profiles emerging from a central form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This piece draws inspiration from Andr\u00e9 Grenard Matswa, a Congolese revolutionary seen as a precursor to the Sapeur movement \u2014 a subculture that uses flamboyant fashion to assert individuality and resistance. Francis\u00a0described the piece<\/a>\u00a0as a tribute to “protective styles” within the African diaspora.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Curator and artist Ik\u00e9 Ud\u00e9 added a dedicated section to the exhibition exploring his own body of work, alongside the life and influence of Julius Soubise, an 18th-century Black dandy known for his unique fashion and defiance of societal expectations in London.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
