Athletes Attend 2025 Met Gala Celebrating Black Style

The 2025 Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, celebrated the influence of Black style and tailoring with the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' and the dress code 'Tailored for You.' Notable athletes made a strong showing on the red carpet, including Lewis Hamilton in a cream suit, Simone Biles in a blue dress accompanied by her husband Jonathan Owens, Venus Williams in a green ensemble, and NFL star Saquon Barkley in a sleek black tuxedo by Thom Browne. WNBA champions Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu also drew attention with their tailored outfits, and Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union appeared in coordinated black-and-white looks. LeBron James, an honorary co-chair, was unable to attend due to a knee injury, though his wife Savannah was present. The event continues to serve as a major platform for athletes and celebrities to showcase their interpretation of high fashion while supporting the museum's Costume Institute.
