Players pay tribute to postponed Met Gala

Published May 05, 2020

The 2020 Met Gala would have taken place on Monday, but due to COVID-19, the event was postponed. This year's theme for the 150th anniversary celebration was going to be About Time: Fashion and Duration.

A few lucky players who have attended the extravagant gala posted throwbacks to better years when they walked the red carpet and enjoyed brushing elbows with celebrities.

Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian were in New York last year instead of in Europe for Roland Garros warm-up events.
