“For every dandy, there’s a gown,” she captioned the post.
In a “getting ready” video on her Instagram story, Williams said she was getting a coffee, because “I am partying tonight.”

This year’s Met Gala theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
The theme “take[s] the Black dandy as its subject, examining the importance of clothing and style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora,” according to Vogue.
The dress code, which was inspired by the theme, was “Tailored for You,” a “nod to the exhibition’s focus on suiting and menswear, from specific silhouettes to various fabrics and accessories — that is purposefully designed to both provide guidance and invite creative interpretation,” according to a press release.

This year’s theme and accompanying Costume Institute exhibition take inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity,” according to Vogue.
