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.”
