While we were all busy obsessing over which celebrity showed up with their S.O. or who did (and didn’t) follow the dress code or who high-key dropped a red carpet pregnancy announcement (Rihanna!!!!!), a WNBA powerhouse quietly stole the show. Who was the Best Dressed Athlete at the 2025 Met Gala? None other than Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.
The basketball phenom—who, BTW, is on this year’s celeb-packed host committee—arrived in a striking Thom Browne two-piece black ensemble and Graff jewelry that would make even the most seasoned Met Gala attendees do a double-take. The lace-up details! The edges! The corsetry! Listen, Reese didn’t just attend the Met Gala—she absolutely owned it.
A moment for the manicure (and jewels!!).
Reese showed exactly why athletes deserve more recognition in the fashion world. Her interpretation of this year’s “Tailored for You” dress code was right on theme, featuring fine tailoring, menswear-inspired details, and sharp elegance. I mean, obsessed doesn’t even cut it.
