Athletes at 2025 Met Gala look like they have secret lives. These are our guesses
Is the Met Gala even real life?
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.
