Supercross champion rider Jett Lawrence makes surprise Met Gala appearance

When motorsport fans pondered whether Lewis Hamilton would invite any of his fellow drivers to the Met Gala, many wondered whether his teammate Charles Leclerc or former attendee Daniel Ricciardo might make an appearance. However, it seems nobody had 21-year-old Supercross rider Jett Lawrence on their bingo card.

The young Australian made a surprise appearance at fashion's biggest night in New York City, becoming the first motocross rider to attend the prestigious event. "It’s honestly an honor," Lawrence said in a statement. "It shows that Moto is expanding into new spaces, and I get to help lead that. I’m proud to rep the sport and show the world we’ve got style too."
