Tonight is the first time Savanna James is running Met Gala Red CarpetHer husband, Labron James, was named Honorary Co -president Tonight’s gala. Why the honorary word? Because it was unknown as long as he would be able to participate in exchange for the lax playoff schedule. Although Lebron was eventually unable to participate, James was thrilled to represent for his family.
Well, to be honest, she was also a little nervous – mostly due to stairs. “I am really eager to see the exhibition and some of my friends will be in the building so I am excited to join them and this is the experience.”
For this year for him 2025 Mate Gala Theme“Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” she is taking dress codeFor you, in Strid. “I like to suit,” she says. “I feel the most comfortable in a suit.” By that end, she went with a design by Hanifa of Anifa Mavemba – a brand James has been a fan for a long time – in a serandipitus moment. She says, “I was really on Instagram a day, and it was shortly after I found the word that I was invited to attend the mate and I really didn’t know what I was going to use or in which direction I was going to go,” she says. And as fate would be, he saw a post from Mvuemba if someone would want to work together. “It’s crazy that it is actually a full cycle coming right now. It was important for me to wear a young black designer just because I am just about raising and raising my people. I am a supporter of anyone who looks like me, just trying to be great on what they love.”
James and Mavumba began a design journey on the zoom, as they are based on opposite sides of the country. Despite the distance, James is impressed by how the Hanifa team created the entire process. The pair had a dream on the Harlem Zoot Suit. “I think we really came with a very amazing body of work; I think the dress looks amazing,” she said. “The team did it very well. It is fitting me how I need to fit.”
Glam, she says, was kept clean and simple. “I think the look speaks the volume, so I want to take care there,” James explained. Instead of relying on intensive remedies for the biggest night preparation of fashion, she focused on the required things, preparing the skin with a secret formula. She says “has been a head in her routine for the last two years” and establishing a platform for makeup centered around a statement lip. His hair was shown “40-inch Busdown Middle Part” to give “movement and length”. I just have to remember that when I sit, I just need to move my hair, “she laughs.
“I am very excited that this is the real first (Met Gala) I can go,” she says. “I think the experience will be through the roof. I am a museum girl, I am a gallery girl.” Only one thing missing from memorable night? His bee, of course. “Maybe next year he will be able to leave.”
