South African A-Listers hit the Met Gala Blue Carpet

The Met Gala, formally known as the Costume Institute Benefit, is a Haute Couture fundraising festival held annually for the benefit of Metropolitan Museum of Art.`s Costume Institute in Manhattan New York.

Taking place on the first Monday of May,, each year the Met Gala has a theme and this year`s theme was centered on Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. The exhibition explored Black Dandyism and the role of fashion in black identities over the past 300 years. source tywmag.

The focus was on Men`s Wear and for me, it was like watching a men`s wear fashion show from different designers in one runway.

Africa Fashion International CEO and Founder Dr Precious Moloi Motsepe was one of the few South Africans who walked the Met Gala blue Carpet and she was also.one of the exhibition sponsors . Dr Moloi Motsepe followed the theme with a custom made Dandy Elegance meets luxury outfit by David Tlale.
