Sports and fashion have never been so intertwined—and the dovetailing was on full view at the 2025 Met Gala, where athletes stepped out en masse.
For one, two served as co-hosts: seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton, and basketball megastar LeBron James (though, to note, James was absent at this year’s event and served as honorary chair instead). Hamilton wore a knockout cream-colored Wales Bonner suit, replete with a beret.
There was also a showing of Paris Olympians, including gymnast GOAT Simone Biles (in bright blue Harbison, along with her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens) and the track and field medalists Sha’Carri Richardson, Gabrielle Thomas, and Noah Lyles.
LSU guard Flau’jae Johnson made her first Met Gala appearance, as did the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. On the flip side of that, Met regulars Venus and Serena Williams were back, the latter in sky blue Moncler.
Below, see a rundown of the athletes that attended the 2025 Met Gala.
