On the first Monday of May, the fashion world comes together to celebrate at its annual soirée. The Met Gala is the celebration of culture and fashion, and the entire world gathers to gawk at, admire, and critique celebrities’ ostentatious outfits. This year’s theme was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. The theme encouraged designers and fashion icons to draw inspiration from 300 years of Black style, from 18th century dandyism to the modern day.
You may be asking yourself: “As an outdoorsperson or a granola girl, what does the Met Gala have to do with me?” Well, just as football championships are often eclipsed by their TV commercials, the true highlight of the Met Gala has quickly become the next day’s memes. Plus, as hyper-focused outdoorspeople, we see adventure inspiration everywhere…including this year’s blue carpet. This is not a best dressed list by any means—this is our best memes list of 2025.
