The Met Gala took place Monday night in New York City at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Chicago celebrities were among those in eye-catching outfits.
The big picture: This year's theme — "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" — centered around Black dandyism, which is about well-tailored, creative men's wear and the attitude of the wearer.
Zoom in: Chance the Rapper wore a custom tan Versace suit and walked in with Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace. His accessories included a gold and silver bracelet and brooches.
For her second year, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese returned to the Met Gala in a black two-piece ensemble by designer Thom Browne.
Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and Chicago Bears husband Jonathan Owens were members of this year's hosting committee.
- Biles dressed in a blue embellished Harbison Studio dress, while Owens wore an all-white suit with a fur cape, a Margot McKinney pendant and a black cane. This was Owens' first time at the Met.
Actress and host Keke Palmer wore a white Vera Wang gown with subtle black pants underneath it.
