A host of elite athletes from around the sports world descended upon New York City on Monday to celebrate the world of fashion and don some incredible looks in honor of the 2023 Met Gala.

Serena Williams, Patrick Mahomes, Dwyane Wade, Roger Federer and Brittney Griner were among the names adorning the star-studded guest list for this year’s edition of the fashion extravaganza. First established in 1948, the Met Gala is an annual fundraiser for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

For the 50th consecutive year, the much-anticipated event included a suggested theme attendees are encouraged, but not mandated, to abide by. This year, the theme, along with an exhibition inside the Met, was designed in memory of legendary German designer Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019 at the age of 85. 

Titled, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” Monday’s grand stage served as a platform for the creative and the eclectic to strut their stuff. Needless to say, the event’s co-chairs, a group of five that included Federer and permanent co-chair Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, made it a night to remember for all in attendance.

Williams, who stole the show after announcing she’s pregnant with baby No. 2, graced the red carpet with husband Alexis Ohanian while Mahomes, the reigning NFL MVP, dazzled alongside wife Brittany. Wade, a 2023 Hall of Fame inductee, made a statement with his wife, actress Gabrielle Union and Griner, ahead of her triumphant WNBA return, dressed to impress alongside her wife Cherelle. Additionally, NBA stars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Russell Westbrook, NFL star Stefon Diggs and freestyle skier Eileen Gu were on hand wearing head-turning outfits of their own.

With the ’23 Met Gala in the books, here’s a recap of what the superstar athletes wore in NYC Monday night:
