This year’s Met Gala proved one thing: the athletes have officially entered the chat. On Monday night, the grand staircase of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York became a runway for some of the sports world’s biggest stars, including Saquon Barkley, Serena Williams, Lewis Hamilton and more.

The Windy City was well-represented at Monday night's star-packed event, the first to focus exclusively on Black designers, and the first in more than 20 years to have a menswear theme.

Met Gala is underway in New York City and some of the biggest names in sports are in attendance, including 11-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and WNBA star Angel Reese -- who is part of the host committee.
