### Met Gala 2025: A Celebration of Black Excellence, Minus Meghan Markle

It's that exciting time of year again when the Met Gala is poised to dominate conversations in the fashion industry.

However, in a twist that's hardly shocking, Meghan Markle won't be receiving an invitation.

So, what's the buzz about this year's theme?

It's all about “Superfine.

Tailoring.

Black.

Style.”

This gala seems almost custom-made to ensure she remains on the sidelines.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has officially unveiled the Costume Institute's Spring Exhibition for 2025, which will honor the bold and unapologetic aesthetics of black dandies.

Drawing inspiration from Monica L. Miller's influential 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, this exhibition promises to celebrate the rich tapestry of black style, identity, and fashion throughout history.

On the night of the gala, the focus will be on showcasing the vibrancy of black culture and history, featuring garments, art, and photography from renowned artists like Talkways Dyson, Tanda Francis, and Tyler Mitchell.

The overarching theme embodies black excellence, leading to a rather clear conclusion: Meghan Markle simply doesn't fit into this narrative.

Co-chairing the event will be notable figures including Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour, who has made her feelings about Meghan quite apparent over the years.

In fact, one could argue that this entire gala might be an effort to keep Meghan from even catching a whiff of an invitation.

While Meghan has faced scrutiny regarding her racial identity—especially after marrying Prince Harry—insights from the Archetype podcast featuring Mariah Carey suggest that she doesn't quite align with the celebration of black culture that this gala represents.

Tailoring?

Let's be real—Meghan's grasp of that concept seems tenuous at best.

Rumors have swirled that Meghan was, in fact, invited but chose to stay home due to her inability to secure a babysitter for her children.

Yes, you heard that right—she's a mother of young kids!

You can practically hear her deliberating, “Oh, I just can't leave my little ones behind.” It's almost as if her maternal instincts are shining through.

In a gesture of goodwill, she's reportedly dedicating her time to assisting victims of the wildfires in Los Angeles, reinforcing her image as a compassionate figure.

Who needs the glamour of the Met Gala when you can be at home, nurturing your kids and discussing life in a mansion with 16 bathrooms?

Let's take a moment to appreciate the courage it takes to pass up such a glittering event.

After all, who wouldn't want to spend an evening mingling with A-listers when they could be at home enjoying family time?

And we all know Meghan wouldn't want to draw attention to herself.

She's far too humble for that.

The idea that Meghan Markle is still relevant in the fashion world is perplexing.

Her fashion choices often lean more towards the realm of “what-not-to-wear” than the epitome of style.

If you're searching for genuine fashion sense, Meghan is not the go-to person.

So, as we gear up for the Met Gala, it's clear that Meghan Markle won't be making an appearance on that iconic red carpet.

It's not merely about the theme being exclusive to black individuals; it's about her not belonging in a celebration that honors authentic fashion.

Even if the theme were something as specific as “Women Named Rachel or Meghan,” she would still find herself left out in the cold.

And let's not even get started on the security measures in place to keep gatecrashers like Meghan at bay.

Rest assured, she won't be slipping past those velvet ropes—now or ever.
