Lewis Hamilton bought an entire table at the MetGala to host Black designers who wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to attend the event.
. The 36-year-old Formula One racer not only attended the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual event on Monday, but also opted to buy an entire table at the soirée.
Hamilton's gesture was envisioned as a celebration of Black creatives, which would fuse the intersectionality between fashion, sport and music, showing how, together, they all push the culture. His research project, The Hamilton Commission, identified the barriers young Black people face in entering U.K. motorsport and recommendations to overcome them. Hamilton's foundation, Mission 44, works to drive some of the recommendations forward and to ultimately support, champion, and empower young people from underrepresented communities to succeed.
