Ready for the glitz and glamour…and some meme-worthy moments? Then you’ll need to know how to stream the Met Gala.
The first Monday in May marks the momentous occasion when the fashion industry and all of Hollywood descends upon NYC. Vogue hosts the fundraising gala to benefit the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a.k.a. one of NYC’s best museums. Everything about the affair is over-the-top and elegant, and all of NYC — and the world — is dying for a sneak peek.
As you might’ve already figured, the gathering is invite-only courtesy of Miss Anna Wintour’s carefully crafted RSVP list. If you’re not standing on the Fifth Ave steps on May 5th, that’s quite alright. We’ll tell you how to stream the red carpet event right from your living room couch.

What is the Met gala theme for 2025?
The theme coincides with the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s spring exhibit, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
According to a press release from the event, it “explores the importance of sartorial style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora. The show is inspired by Guest Curator Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, and chronicles the ways in which Black people have used dress and fashion to transform their identities and imagine new ways of embodying political and social possibilities.”
