FXBG. 2025 Met Gala & Awards 

The Fredericksburg Fashion Week International Met Gala is an exclusive, high-fashion event that celebrates style, creativity, and excellence in the fashion and beauty industry. Inspired by the glamour of the NYC Met Gala, this red carpet evening features designer showcases, awards honoring standout talent, media coverage, and powerful networking. It’s the official closing night of Fredericksburg Fashion Week — where fashion meets elegance, and community meets celebration.

Step into elegance with this year’s Fredericksburg Fashion Week Met Gala, themed "Whispers Behind the Gate." Inspired by the enchanting mystery of our Main Runway Show, The Secret Garden, this theme invites you to experience fashion wrapped in storytelling, sophistication, and style.

This event is more than a celebration — it's a cause. Proceeds will benefit our nonprofit initiative, S.E.L.F. (Social Emotional Learning and Fashion). Through this program, we empower youth by helping them navigate social pressures, build confidence, and gain hands-on experience in fashion and beauty.

Your ticket helps change lives — one look, one lesson, one child at a time.
