It’s that time of year again.
The annual Met Gala takes place in New York City tonight, and as usual, the fashion world’s best and brightest will be in attendance.
This year, the organizers are paying tribute to one of their own with a theme that honors the late fashion icon Andre Leon Talley.
Met Gala honors Talley with ‘Superfine’ theme
The theme of this year’s gala is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton recently told CBS that the theme was inspired by Talley, who passed away in 2022 at the age of 73.
One of the world’s most influential fashion journalists, Talley served first as an editor and then as creative director at Vogue.
His frequent media appearances, inimitable sense of personal style, and work as a judge on America’s Next Top Model made Talley one of the most recognizable faces in the world of fashion.
Now, as the industry prepares to pay tribute, several stars are reflecting on Talley’s influence in their own lives.
