The first Monday of May usually marks two important occasions: the official end of Justin Timberlake joke “it will be May” and more importantly the Met Gala.
Fashion icon Anna Wintour is known for having a dense guest list for the exclusive invite-only event held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, but the sports world has been greatly represented in recent years. Venus Williams And Russell Westbrook is one of the athletes most often strutting their fashion lines for the “East Coast Oscars”. Naomi Osaka even co-hosting the event in 2021.
This year, Federer is co-chair with Wintour, Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel, Penélope Cruz and Andrew Bolton.
Monday night’s theme was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” in memory of the late fashion designer.
Among celebrities, athletes are known to have crushed it on the red carpet. Here are some pictures from this year and previous years:
