All The Athletes And Their Looks

Sports and fashion are often seen as worlds apart, but this year’s Met Gala begs to differ. The Met’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” exhibition centers the fashion of the Black Dandy through a masculine lens. According to Page Six, this year’s guest list prioritized athletes—both newcomers and hall-of-famers—like Co-chair LeBron James, who unfortunately had to miss the event due to injury.

With athletes from basketball, F1, soccer, and more in attendance, we’ll see just how well the narrative that athletes can’t dress holds up. Below, we’re tracking the best-dressed athletes as they step on to the Met Gala red-carpet and sourcing their looks.

Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton looks very royal in custom Grace Wales Bonner. And..he’s wearing a beret.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens

Biles wore an electric-blue emblazoned minidress with a grandeur train, while Owens opted for an all-white suit with blue accents.

Breanna Stewart

Breanna Stewart wears a 3-piece cream Sergio Hudson suit and top-hat. Finally, someone is bringing pimp style into the conversation of Black Dandyism.

Sabrina Ionescu

Sabrina Ionescu goes casual wearing a cropped Sergio Hudson jacket, white bralette and floor length skirt.

Joe Burrow

Joe Burrow strolls in nonchalantly wearing a muted blue-ish grey suit and… Gucci sneakers?

Venus Williams

Venus Williams can’t leave tennis behind, it’s in her blood. And that’s apparent not only in this full emerald green look with the center piece being the tennis skirt but due to her dresser: Lacoste. The flashy overcoat and polo ties this whole look together. She’s serving major wicked vibes.

Angel Reese

Angel Reese understood the assignment. Wearing custom Thom Browne, she’s not only on theme by wearing a fine tailored suit, something Browne is well versed in but she still found a way to feminize it by adding a mid-corset.

Dwayne Wade

Dwanye Wade looks way back to an 18th-century silhouette and style of suit. And that’s what easily makes him the best dressed athlete of the night. Wade is wearing Prada for the third time to the gala with Tiffany jewels, and is looking oh-so flamboyantly dandy, if I do say so myself.
