Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was among several celebrities with Philadelphia ties who appeared at the 2025 Met Gala celebrating the opening of the exhibit 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.'
When the calendar flips to the annual Met Gala, the world's biggest stars don their best looks in New York City.
This year, the Met Gala celebrated the opening of the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with the Met itself stating, in regards to the fashion, "Black dandyism sprung from the intersection of African and European style traditions."
Colman Domingo, the Overbrook High School and Temple University graduate who was a best actor nominee for an Academy Award for his role in the film"Sing Sing," served as a celebrity co-chair for the event Monday.
Domingo, 55, has made a name for himself with his red carpet style in recent years as his film work has becoming increasingly higher profile. That was certainly on display, spotted below with "American Vogue" editor Anna Wintour and Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton:

It's hard to discuss Philadelphia without talking about the Eagles, so it's only fitting that reigning Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts and his wife Bry Burrows receive their props, too:
