Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, and his wife Brittany Mahomes attended the Met Gala, a prestigious annual event in the fashion world, which took place on Monday night. The theme of this year’s Met Gala was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” in tribute to the legendary creative director of Chanel, who passed away in 2019. Many attendees, including the Mahomeses, wore black and white outfits, the famous Chanel color palette. Patrick Mahomes wore a black tuxedo by Hugo Boss, his signature sunglasses, and designer loafers without socks. Brittany Mahomes wore a white, form-fitting gown with an off-the-shoulder design and silver sequin embellishments, with a thigh-high front slit. The Mahomeses are known for their appreciation of Chanel; they gifted their two-year-old daughter a mini quilted Chanel purse with pink lining for her birthday earlier this year.
The Met Gala is an exclusive event attended by Hollywood stars, models, musicians, athletes, and other celebrities. Janelle Monáe, an actress, singer, and native of Kansas City, Kansas, made a memorable appearance by revealing a see-through, cage-like skirt underneath a giant black-and-white coat, lifting it to show off a black Chanel bikini underneath. The annual Met Gala is a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and is considered a coveted invitation by many celebrities. Other athletes who were invited to the event included Brittney Griner, Serena Williams, and Dwayne Wade. Roger Federer, a tennis legend, was a co-chair of the event.
The Mahomeses also attended the Barnstable Brown Derby Eve Gala in Louisville on Friday, the day before the Kentucky Derby. The event is a “bucket-list Derby Eve party” and has been named one of the “Ten Best Parties in the World” by Condé Nast. The couple was joined by several other famous personalities, including actor Chris Pine, new Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, legendary singer Smokey Robinson, former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, and country music star Travis Tritt. The gala raises funds for the Barnstable Brown Diabetes Center at the University of Kentucky and has donated over $17 million in the previous 14 years.
