Angel, Big 4 and Liberty: Women’s sports takes over the Met Gala

Women’s sports took over the Met Gala.

From Angel Reese—who was an honorary member of the host committee alongside track superstar Sha’Carri Richardson and the GOAT of gymnastics, Simone Biles—to the reigning New York Liberty champs Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones and Sabrina Ionescu, women’s athletes took over the event.

This year’s theme was a celebration of Black fashion and identity, titled, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

Reese, who also pulled up to her first preseason game against the Brazilian National Team in Thom Browne, wore the designer on the grand stage, rocking a custom-made, stunning corseted ensemble. And she did it all on the day before her birthday.
