The 2025 Met Gala has officially kicked off in New York City, and some of the biggest sports stars are in attendance.
To the theme of "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," Lewis Hamilton, Saquon Barkley and Breanna Stewart have already put their most fashionable feet forward.
Athletes have made headlines at the annual fundraising event in previous years, and this year's gala features a strong presence behind the scenes. LeBron James (who will not be in attendance) is an honorary chair, Hamilton is a co-chair and Angel Reese, Sha'Carri Richardson, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are on the host committee.
Here are the best looks and moments from this year's Met Gala.
