Marketing Magic: Met Gala Celebrates Black Culture in Fashion

In this episode of Coffee with Yvonne, host Yvonne Pearson dives into the 2025 Met Gala and its powerful theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” From the Met's all-Black male co-chair lineup to intentional storytelling honoring André Leon Talley, Yvonne unpacks how the event became a masterclass in inclusive marketing and cultural influence.

She also shares a personal milestone: her own TikTok content was featured in Vogue’s official campaign coverage, proving that sometimes, the post you almost delete is the one that changes everything. The episode explores campaign rollouts, audience engagement, and how Black creatives shape the fashion narrative on and off the carpet.

Plus, Yvonne reflects on her grandfather’s stylish legacy and the deeper meaning behind personal expression.
