Russell Wilson and Ciara dazzle at Met Gala to kickoff New York era

Russell Wilson and Ciara are enjoying New York. 

The new Giants quarterback and the “Ecstasy” singer ruled the red carpet at the 2025 Met Gala in New York on Monday night.

Wilson, 36, wore a black tuxedo with a long black coat overtop along with a cane, while Ciara, 39, looked stunning in a black-and-silver bodycon floor length dress with diamond-like string accents.

Ciara was wearing LaQuan Smith, who also designed actress Halle Berry’s Met Gala look.

This marked Wilson’s first time attending the Met Gala, while Ciara has experienced first-hand fashion’s biggest night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Insтιтute in Manhattan previously.

In 2021, Ciara wore a lime-green sequined dress by Dundas, which was inspired by Wilson’s No. 3 Seattle Seahawks jersey.

The Grammy winner wore Wilson’s Super Bowl ring he won in Super Bowl XLVIII — when Seattle beat the Denver Broncos 43-8 in 2014 — and carried a football-shaped clutch.

The couple has been busy making appearances around New York and beyond after the Super Bowl champion quarterback signed a short-term deal with the Giants in March. 

Wilson, Ciara and her eldest son, Future Jr., 10, whom she shares with her ex, rapper Future, sat courtside for Game 1 of the Knicks-Pistons first-round series of the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Madison Square Garden on April 19. The Knicks beat the Pistons 123-112.

Last week, they co-hosted the Sports Illustrated Miami Race weekend kickoff party in Miami, during which the singer surprised fans by revealing her new album “CiCi” will be released on July 11.

Racing driver Lewis Hamilton, who is a co-chair for the 2025 Met Gala, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese, Olympian Simone Biles and her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens and Olympic sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson are all confirmed to attend.

This year’s theme for the spring 2025 exhibition is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which recognizes Black designers and the liberation of dressing with confidence.

The theme drew inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Idenтιтy,” and the exhibition is organized into 12 sections, each representing a characteristic that defines dandy style: Ownership, Presence, Distinction, Disguise, Freedom, Champion, Respectability, Jook, Heritage, Beauty, Cool, and Cosmopolitanism.
