Queer AF 2025: Ethereal Beings

The Queer Met Gala of Massachusetts returns on Friday, Sept. 5, 2025, at Mechanics Hall in Downtown Worcester. Queer AF, the art and fashion show fundraiser for the nonprofit Love Your Labels, invites you to explore a world beyond boundaries and binaries with this year’s theme: Ethereal Beings.

Trans and Queer people are often treated as intangible — myths, projections, misunderstandings — but our lives are real and revolutionary acts. Through light, reflection, color, and form, Queer AF 2025 will immerse you in a world free of the fixed perceptions many try to impose.

Dozens of local models will shine on our runway. Through the language of fashion, we create fleeting, radiant moments that transcend physical space.

How do you embody light? Bring your most mystical, otherworldly, dazzling self to Queer AF 2025: Ethereal Beings, on Friday, Sept. 5, at Mechanics Hall in Worcester.
