Athletes at 2025 Met Gala look like they have secret lives. These are our guesses

The Met Gala is one of the most inexplicably addictive celebrity events on the calendar. Why do people care about the Met Gala? I don’t know. What happens inside the Met Gala? Not sure. It could equally be about raising money for charity or betting on the demise of poor people like Squid Game and I’d believe them both.

Each year more and more athletes are showing off their fits on the red carpet of one of the biggest fashion events of the year, and 2025 was no different. Here is every athlete who appeared on Monday night, as well as their secret life we knew nothing about.
