The 2025 Met Gala, New York's biggest night of fashion, is here bringing together some of the world’s brightest stars on Monday night.
This year's theme is "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," to highlight the cultural and historical significance of Black dandyism. It's the first Met Gala theme in over two decades to be focused on menswear.
The 2025 co-chairs include Vogue editor Anna Wintour, actor Colman Domingo, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, rapper A$AP Rocky and singer Pharrell Williams. LeBron James is the honorary chair, but he will notably be absent at Monday night's event as he nurses a Grade 2 MCL sprain. It would've been his Met Gala debut.
There are plenty of other star athletes expected to be in attendance at the Met Gala this year. WNBA superstar Angel Reese, Olympian Simone Biles and her husband NFL star Jonathan Owens and Olympian Sha'Carri Richardson are all on the Met Gala committee this year.
Take a look at the athletes who attended the 2025 Met Gala.
Lewis Hamilton
The 105-time Formula One winner didn't disappoint when walking on the Met Gala carpet as a co-chair. Hamilton's ivory colored look was designed by Wales Bonner and includes a custom Stephen Jones hat.
