The 2025 Met Gala theme has been unveiled. Today, the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that the theme of next year’s Costume Institute Benefit – AKA The Met Gala – will be “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” Influenced by Monica L Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, the Met’s accompanying exhibition will explore the Black dandy as a cultural and historical figure. Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and more will co-chair The Met Gala, taking place on 5 May 2025, and the full dress code will be revealed in the coming months.
Angel Olsen, MJ Lenderman, Sharon Van Etten and more have teamed up on a benefit compilation for Hurricane Helene victims.

Rianne Van Rompaey stars in new short film Faces. Written and directed by David Findlay, the eight-minute short explores identity, mother-daughter relationships and the ennui of adulthood.

You can watch the film below.

Björk has a new book coming out. The picture book documents her five-year-long Cornucopia Tour. The mammoth 480-page book will contain over 300 images from the immersive Vtour shot by photographer Santiago Felipe, as well as an additional 16-page booklet. Naturally, the Icelandic multi-disciplinary artist has also woven a narrative into the photos, because she’s Björk: “Throughout this tale, there is a subplot woven in: a second story of an avatar—a modern marionette who alchemically mutates, from puppet to puppet, from the injury of a heart wound to a fully healed state.” Cornucopia: The Book will be released on 15 November via One Little Independent Records.
