The People’s Commentary: Archiving Black Style & Reception

This section is dedicated to preserving the digital storytelling happening right now, especially the creative carousels circulating across TikTok in response to the 2025 Met Gala. These posts, often curated by everyday users and cultural commentators, break down outfits, reference history, call out gaps, and honor icons. Here, we treat them not just as content, but as cultural artifacts and snapshots of how Black communities are engaging with and shaping fashion discourse online.
