Burberry is taking Law Roach to the Met

Ahead of Monday evening’s Met Gala, celeb stylist and image architect Law Roach has just been announced as Burberry’s creative partner for this year’s event. “Burberry is honoured to announce its collaboration with Law Roach for the Met Gala 2025,” read a statement from the British brand released this morning (April 29). “The highly regarded image architect is working closely with Burberry as a partner and consultant on the creative expression of this year’s theme while curating the Burberry Met Gala table.”

Though the release was scant on specific details, it looks like Roach will be working closely with creative director Daniel Lee to ensure that Burberry’s guest list (which is still under lock and key) is sticking to this year’s theme to the letter. The dress code, Tailored To You, is a celebration of The Costume Institute’s spring exhibit Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, which itself is inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.

Elsewhere in the statement, Roach was rather happy about teaming up with Burbs. “It is an honour to collaborate with Burberry. The Met Gala encourages creativity at the highest level, which is at the core of the British house,” said the stylist. “I have always admired Daniel’s progressive design which champions an idea of modern Britishness.” In the same statement, Lee also added that “Law pushes the boundaries of style through his unique point of view on fashion and culture” and that he was “very excited to collaborate with Law for this year’s Met Gala.”

Taking place on Monday, May 5, this year’s event will be chaired by Anna Wintour alongside Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky and Pharrell, who were all immortalised this month with their own individual US Vogue covers. It’s the first time Wintour has chosen an all-male board since she started co-chairing the event in 1995, which makes a lot of sense considering the heavy menswear focus of this year’s theme. Usually, the men of the Met Gala leave a lot to be desired, rocking up in boring run-of-the-mill tuxedos, but with this group of co-chairs – and Law Roach on Burberry’s team – it looks like things are set to shift.
