WNBA star Angel Reese and golf icon Nelly Korda were among the athletes to hit the red carpet at Monday night’s Met Gala.
Celebrities from across music, TV, film and sports descended on New York for the annual fundraising gala in Manhattan.
The theme of this year’s Met Gala is ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’ and the event fell on Reese’s 22nd birthday.
‘I’m just excited to see everyone’s outfits – everyone looks amazing,’ she said. ‘I’ve always dreamed of this moment so being here on my 22nd birthday is amazing.
The Chicago Sky star was dressed in 16Arlington by Marco Capaldo. ‘The “Chi-Town” Barbie is at the Met Gala,’ the WNBA’s official X account posted. ‘Happy birthday Angel!’

Nelly Korda, a 13-time winner on the LPGA Tour, was a guest of Casey Wasserman at the event
Korda is eyeing a sixth-straight LPGA Tour victory this week at the Cognizant Founders Cup in Clifton, New Jersey.
The Florida native is currently the No 1 ranked female golfer in the world. She will be looking to win a second Olympic gold at this summer’s Games in Paris.
Reese was recently selected seventh overall by the Sky at the 2024 WNBA draft, following a brilliant college career which began at Maryland and ended at LSU.
Former NBA star turned television host Dwyane Wade also attended Met Gala, as did Brooklyn Nets player Ben Simmons, who sported an interesting outfit which drew scorn from many fans.
Simmons donned a jacket and coat that had plaid stylings on the top, accented with rings, a watch, and a briefcase that had a massive clock on it.

Sports fans lit Simmons up for his style choice – especially after the Nets star only played 15 games this NBA season.
He missed the first 38 games of the season, then played up until early March before being ruled out for the rest of the campaign with a nerve impingement in his lower back.
Social media caught on to the clock briefcase in particular, with many mocking Simmons for missing too much time over the past few seasons.
‘Wearing a clock when you ain’t clock no in game minutes this season is insane,’ wrote one Twitter user.
