Should you need a reminder, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” is the theme of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibit, and the hype for the 2025 Met Gala is surmounting. As per usual, Vogue‘s May issue is centered around fashion’s biggest night of the year. Anna Wintour (unsurprisingly) endorses the 2025 Met Gala co-chairs Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and A$AP Rocky as Vogue cover stars this month – and commissioned a selection of Black creatives for each of the four cover shoots. American artist Henry Taylor painted Williams for the occasion. Malick Bodian captured Hamilton in black and white for his regal-looking portrait cover shot. Colman Domingo posed for Iké Udé while A$AP Rocky covers the issue via the lens of Tyler Mitchell.
Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo & A$AP Rocky for Vogue May 2025
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Vogue used to have a Met Gala supplement for May… I wish this was that,” immediately noted aracic.
“Domingo’s photo is just hideous. Hamilton’s face looks like it was Photoshopped onto someone’s head. No comment on the Pharrell cover,” Avonlea commented.
“NO to everything in a big way. A waste of paper! Not even worthy of a comment,” a disapproving BalkaniStaCouture slammed.
“2025 continues to suck,” sighed Jacque Marcel.
Yet not everyone was so unsatisfied. “I love the Lewis Hamilton cover and will be looking for it,” declared forum member MModa.
“I’m really into the Lewis Hamilton cover. It’s super unique, especially since Vogue hardly ever goes with a black and white photo for the cover,” Kenny pointed out.
“It’s rather formal, traditional, and regal in some way. It’s good. Nothing groundbreaking,” voiced Lola701.
