On Monday in New York, the stars were out on the floral carpet for the 2025 Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Several athletes joined the parade of celebrities in bespoke fashions.

The theme of the event is "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," in line with the new exhibit at the Met's Costume Institute. In line with the theme, the gala's dress code is "Tailored for You."

As one of the event's co-chairs, British racer Lewis Hamilton showed up earlier than many and showed out, wearing a well-tailored cream suit with a matching hat.
