From Venus Williams to OBJ, athletes understood the assignment on 2022 Met Gala red carpet

On Monday night, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Regina King hosted the 2022 Met Gala. They were joined by honorary co-chairs Anna Wintour, Tom Ford and Instagram’s Adam Mosseri. The gala, otherwise known as “The Oscars of the East Coast” or “Fashion’s Biggest Night,” was a star-studded affair, to put it mildly. There was at least one Super Bowl champion, a seven-time major tennis champion, a Miami Heat legend, an Olympic gold medalist and a member of the Los Angeles Lakers in the building.
