Emma Chamberlain , Zendaya , Teyana Taylor and many other women wore pinstripes and other traditional men’s detailing.

The suggested dress code, “ Tailored for You ,” is inspired by Black dandyism.

Pharrell Williams , another co-host, was demure in a double-breasted, beaded evening jacket.

The gala had already raised a record $31 million , Met’s Costume Institute CEO Max Hollein said Monday .

The theme is about tailoring and suiting as interpreted through the history and meaning of Black dandyism across the Atlantic diaspora.

Vogue will livestream the gala starting at 6 p.m. Eastern on Vogue.com , its YouTube channel and across its other digital platforms.
