The best photos from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s outfit for The Met Gala.

Monday marked The Met Gala, the annual fundraising event that helps the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. It is regarded as one of the world’s most prestigious fishing gatherings as celebrities across the globe attend the event with their most fashionable outfit.

So what does that have to do with the Oklahoma City Thunder? Well, All-Star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was in attendance. Through his five-year career in the league, Gilgeous-Alexander has made it known how serious he is about his fashion.

With Russell Westbrook gone, Gilgeous-Alexander has picked up the torch of extremely fashionable franchise Thunder guards. Let’s look at what the 24-year-old wore at the event on Monday.

Why Jared Leto and Doja Cat both dressed as cats at the 2023 Met Gala

Jared Leto and Doja Cat honored the fashion world’s most iconic cat with their Met Gala looks.

The Met Gala is often the place for wild fashion choices, but Jared Leto and Doja Cat went above and beyond to pay homage to the most chic cat of all: Choupette.

The theme for the 2023 Met Gala is based off of the late Karl Lagerfeld, the famous — yet problematic — fashion figure. One of Langerfeld’s biggest muses was his cat, Choupette, who lived the most luxurious life a feline could ask for. Choupette, an 11-year-old tortie Birman, is one of the most famous cats in the world and has been pampered like royalty befitting a cat of her stature. She is even a successful model and was featured in many of Lagerfeld’s collections.

Hilariously, Choupette declined an invitation to this year’s Met Gala to be “cozy at home” — a mood, if I’m being honest — but it seems Leto and Doja Cat kept her spirit alive at Monday’s Met Gala.

Yes, both Doja Cat and Leto dressed up as Choupette for the Met Gala. Doja Cat went the prosthetics route, with makeup and cat ears on her dress to complete the look. Leto, meanwhile, dressed up in a full fursuit modeled after Choupette.

Goodness knows how much both of those looks cost, but it certainly seems like a pretty penny. Fans on Twitter immediately could not stop comparing Doja Cat and Leto’s homages to Choupette at the 2023 Met Gala.

Serena Williams reveals she’s pregnant with her second child at 2023 Met Gala

“Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala.”

Fashion stars, entertainers and athletes were among those who attended the 2023 Met Gala on Monday evening at Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Serena Williams not only showed up looking fantastic, as usual, but the recently retired tennis superstar also revealed she’s pregnant, expecting her and husband Alexis Ohanian’s second child. In addition to showing off her baby bump as she made her entrance, Williams — who gave birth to their first child, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., in September 2017 — also announced the exciting news on Instagram.

In her post, she posed for several photos in her Met Gala look, and wrote in the caption: “Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala.”

Here’s a look at Williams and Ohanian’s arrival at the 2023 Met Gala:

The Met Gala red carpet isn’t just for movie and music stars.

The Met Gala red carpet isn’t just for glamorous actors, fashion icons and music stars. Top-level athletes have frequented the event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for years, and 2023 was no different.

Former NBA superstar Dwyane Wade strode the carpet with his wife, actress Gabrielle Union, and tennis icon Roger Federer served as one of the event’s co-chairs this year. Brittney Griner and her wife Cherelle looked fantastic, and freestyle skier Eileen Gu recreated one of Karl Lagerfeld’s iconic looks to nail the theme.

The supermodel hit the glamorous red carpet solo.

Once married to supermodel Gisele Bündchen, NFL legend Tom Brady was no stranger to the Met Gala red carpet. The duo frequented the glamorous event over the course of their 13-year marriage.

Brady and Bündchen called it quits in October of 2022, with the quarterback saying they made that decision “amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together” according to an interview in March of this year.

Celebrities flocked to the red carpet on May 1 to celebrate the 2023 Met Gala. With elaborate themes, expensive tickets and a beautiful backdrop with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Met Gala is always something to behold.

This year was no different as everyone from co-host Dua Lipa to director Taika Waititi attempted to fit the theme of “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.”  Dua Lipa nailed it, paying homage to the dress Claudia Schiffer wore on the runway at Lagerfeld’s 1994 Chanel show.

What time is the Met Gala 2023 red carpet? How to watch, stream online

Here’s everything you need to know to about tonight’s Met Gala red carpet.

The 2023 Met Gala gets underway on May 1, bringing a parade of celebrities to New York City as the Metropolitan Museum of Art puts on its elaborate fundraiser. This year’s theme — “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” — honors the controversial designer that spent decades in the field.

Stars will begin arriving on the red carpet at 6:30 p.m. ET, and the entire affair will be streamed online at Vogue.com. You can also check out the stream on Teen Vogue.

This year’s hosts include Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour along with co-chairs actresses Penélope Cruz and Michaela Coel, tennis star Roger Federer and pop icon Dua Lipa.

What is the 2023 Met Gala theme?

Here is what each guest will be trying to achieve with tonight’s star-studded affair.

The stars will hit the red carpet on May 1 for the 2023 edition of the Met Gala. This year, the theme for the event — which takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City — honors one of the legendary but controversial fashion icons in Karl Lagerfeld.

“Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” is the official theme title, and will accompany an exhibition at the museum. From the official description:

“Focusing on the designer’s stylistic vocabulary as expressed in aesthetic themes that appear time and again in his fashions from the 1950s to his final collection in 2019, the show will spotlight the German-born designer’s unique working methodology.”

Lagerfeld, who spent decades in fashion but is probably most well-known for his time at Chanel, is considered a problematic figure by some. He repeatedly made fat-phobic and misogynistic comments, and even statements against immigration in his home country of Germany.

While the official guest list is private, stars like Serena Williams, Billie Eilish, Zendaya and Lady Gaga have previously stunned at the event. Unfortunately, it seems one of the annual best-dressed honorees — Blake Lively — won’t be making it this year.

You can watch the red carpet stream at Vogue’s website starting at 6:30 p.m ET.

So many athletes have walked the red carpet.

[NOTE: We’ve updated this 2022 post for this year.]

The 2023 Met Gala is here Monday night, with stars from all over the planet dressing in their finest attire and making headlines for either blowing everyone’s minds … or wearing something very outlandish.

Athletes have been a part of the event a bunch — Tom Brady has appeared a lot, Cam Newton has walked the red carpet, and although Russell Wilson wasn’t there in 2021, Ciara worke a dress that was a shoutout to the then-Seahawks QB.

So before the 2023 edition, let’s look back over the years at athletes at the New York City event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art:
