At the 2025 Met Gala, Ava DuVernay honored her great-grandmother, Annie Fisher, by wearing a black-and-white striped gown inspired by a century-old family photograph. The dress featured a voluminous skirt and a structured bodice, complemented by a wide-brimmed black hat adorned with a veil. This ensemble paid tribute to her family's legacy and aligned with the evening's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," which celebrated Black dandyism and sartorial expression.
