It’s time to unpack the 2025 Met Gala, a historic event which promised to honor the legacy of Black dandyism, but occasionally veered into Ringling Brothers territory. On this very special episode, we break down the hits, the misses, and the bizarre props that celebrities lugged onto the red carpet. From the triumph of actual tailoring (hi, Zendaya) to Marc Jacobs’ unforgettable perm, we discuss it all!
