Red carpet looks: Lindsey Vonn, Eileen Gu, Alysa Liu, other athletes attend 2026 Met Gala

The Met Gala: A night for stars you adore, and dozens of others you’ve never heard of, to strut the red carpet in themed luxury wear. This year’s event again featured a long list of fashion-minded athletes trading in their cleats and sneakers for something a little less comfortable.It all kicks off the spring exhibit at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. A ticket to last year’s Met Gala would have run you a paltry $75,000. This year? Bump that price tag up to a cool $100,000, fit costs not included.Advertisement
