LeBron James Drops Out Of 2025 Met Gala Debut Last-Minute: ‘Hate To Miss’ It

LeBron James dropped out of the 2025 Met Gala only a few hours before the red carpet was set to open, despite being named honorary chair of the event. In a post to X on May 5, the 40-year-old basketball star attributed his absence to a knee injury, but said that his wife Savannah James will still make an appearance. This year’s theme for fashion’s biggest night is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” with the dress code “Tailored For You,” and emphasizes a menswear aesthetic.
