Paris Olympics star Sha’Carri Richardson makes return to 2025 Met Gala

Sha’Carri Richardson finally got a long-awaited gold medal at the 2024 Paris Oympics, and the American sprinter enjoyed another victory lap of sorts during fashion’s biggest night.

Richardson was in New York Monday night for the 2025 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, returning to the star-studded red carpet event. This year, Richardson was one of the celebrities included in the Met Gala’s host committee that helps plan the event along with athletes like LeBron James, Simone Biles and Angel Reese.

She first appeared at The Met Gala in 2021 after a one-month suspension due to a positive drug test for marijuana prevented her from competing at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Her comeback for the 2024 Paris Games was a notable storyline during the track and field competition, when Richardson took home a gold medal in the women’s 4×100-meter relay and a silver medal in the women’s 100-meter dash.

Richardson ‒ known for her flashy fingernails, colorful hair and fashion sense around the track ‒ played along by wearing Valentino’s Alessandro Michele.
