Internet Sleuths May Have Already Figured Out the Secret Met Gala 2025 Carpet Color
This is not a drill! Online sleuths may have figured out what the secret Met Gala carpet color is!
@monetbyjamesjay on X, the app formerly known as Twitter, shared an update that has the internet losing it. Apparently, fans know the carpet color. They posted photos to X with the caption reading, “????ATTENTION???? This year’s #MetGala carpet is rumored to be BLUE after fans tried to take a sneak peak behind the curtain! Stay tuned for the official pictures in a few hours.”
That’s right: the carpet may be blue!
Why is this significant? Well, per Curbed, the Met Gala carpet is a significant aspect of showcasing the theme. For 2025, the theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which is all about cultural identity and Black dandyism. (The dress code is “Tailored for You.”)
Is blue a big color in Black dandyism? While it isn’t a defining color, it did exude elegance and aristocratic vibes. Basically, blue can be a statement color, often used in 19th-century staples like navy suits and frock coats.
So, it’s clear they’re incorporating that elegant vibe in the carpet!
Now, was the carpet ever blue before? Yes! Back in 2022, it was a part of the carpet for the theme: “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” Back then, it was clear to be patriotic, inspired by classic American aesthetics.
So, will blue be the main color or an additive like in 2021? We can’t wait to see which!
