Met Gala Photos: Angel Reese, Simone Biles are dazzling at arrivals

Every May, celebrities in the most fabulous couture ascend the steps of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, and this year, some of Chicago’s brightest stars dazzled on The Big Apple’s iconic blue carpet.

Based on the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring costume exhibit, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” this year’s gala will be the first to focus exclusively on Black designers, and the first in more than 20 years to have a menswear theme. The gala serves as a fundraiser for the museum’s Art Costume Institute.

Chicago WNBA basketball superstar Angel Reese returned to the Met Gala on Monday night, wearing a sleek, two-piece black gown by Thom Browne. Reese is among the event’s host committee for this year’s event.
