Pharrell Williams will co-chair the highly anticipated 2025 Met Gala in New York, which will explore race relations through fashion.

Joining him are rapper ASAP Rocky, actor Colman Domingo, and Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, with basketball legend LeBron James as the honorary chair. Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, will oversee the event.

The exhibition, titled Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, will celebrate Black men’s fashion and the significance of Black dandyism, inspired by Monica Miller’s book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. This theme highlights how Black dandyism, originally imposed on Black men in 18th-century Europe, evolved into a powerful expression of creativity and identity within the African diaspora.

At a press conference on October 9, Pharrell, also the creative director of menswear at Louis Vuitton, emphasized the importance of recognizing the culture that emerged from the African diaspora. “This exhibit centered on Black dandyism feels like a full-circle moment for me. It’s truly a dream come true,” he said.

The Met Gala, traditionally held on the first Monday in May, has transformed into a global fashion spectacle under Wintour’s leadership since the 1990s. Known for its extravagant red carpet, the gala raises funds for the Costume Institute; last year’s event brought in an impressive $22 million, with tickets priced at $75,000 each. As the gala approaches, excitement builds for a celebration of Black culture, style, and meaningful dialogue.

Rihanna has her sights set on Billie Eilish for a dream collaboration, calling the young superstar “so good” and placing her at the top of her wishlist.

The “Work” singer, who has been on a music hiatus since releasing “Lift Me Up” for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2022, expressed her admiration during an interview with Access Hollywood.

When asked about her ideal collaborator, Rihanna enthusiastically stated, “If I could only do a song with Billie Eilish. Mm-mm, she’s so good.”

Billie, 22, was thrilled to receive such high praise from the 36-year-old icon. Sharing the clip on her Instagram Story, she responded, “What in the absolute f*** oh my god what the f***,” reflecting the excitement many fans felt upon hearing the news.

The admiration between the two runs deep. Billie has long praised Rihanna, calling her “the hottest person to ever exist” in a 2022 Vogue interview. In 2019, she confessed that Rihanna was the one celebrity she would love to meet—only if the singer wanted to, as she never wanted to bother her idols. The thought of collaborating with Rihanna left Billie envisioning a moment that would leave her “dying a million times.”

Meanwhile, Rihanna hinted she is “starting over” on her highly anticipated new album, which will be her first project since 2016’s Anti. With both artists at the top of their game, fans are eagerly hoping for this dream collaboration to come to life, promising an unforgettable musical experience.
