Met Gala guests, suit up! That was the order from on high as the Metropolitan Museum of Art revealed the dress code for its annual lavish celebration of fashion in May: “Tailored for You,” a nod to the accompanying exhibit's focus on suiting and menswear. It’s a suitable concept — meant to be liberally interpreted, of course — for the first Met Gala exhibit in more than 20 years to focus exclusively on menswear, specifically Black style in menswear over the centuries.
