Lewis Hamilton shared a heartfelt post as he expressed his gratitude after participating as one of the co-chairs for this year’s Met Gala.
The Ferrari Formula 1 driver took to the floor in a sharp white suit and matching beret, taking to social media to explain what it meant to him as he wrote: ‘Now we’re seen’.
The theme of this year’s Met Gala was ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,’ inspired by Monica Miller’s work, which includes her book Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
The seven-time World Champion wrote on Instagram: ‘It’s hard to put into words what it means to co-chair this year’s Met.

‘This year’s theme speaks to royalty, spirituality, and the sacred power of adornment. Materials like ivory and cowrie aren’t just beautiful - they carry ancestral memory. They are markers of identity, protection and reverence.’
He carried on stating, “I’m deeply grateful to the Costume Institute at The Met, to Grace Wales Bonner, to the incredible co-chairs, and to everyone who continues to honour the legacy of the Black Dandy.
“We’ve always been here. We’ve always been fly. And now, we’re seen."
