“Unfortunately, due to my knee injury at the end of the season, I will not be able to attend the Met Gala in NY tonight, as so many people have been asking and congratulating me! I hate to miss a historic event! My beautiful, powerful queen will be there holding down the fort as she always has!” LeBron wrote on his X account this morning.

But… his wife, Savannah, was there and stole the spotlight in her 2025 Met Gala debut. The businesswoman made her presence felt on the red carpet in a spectacular Hanifa gown, making it clear that her influence in fashion is no accident, but the result of authentic style and her own vision, which was no surprise given her style.

The outfit was crazy with an unexpected combination: an intense burgundy that screamed power, a pinstriped jacket with architectural details, and a mermaid skirt that looked sculpted. She wasn’t just wearing fashion, she was elegantly embodying it.

LeBron James reacts; he’s speechless

King James was not in attendance, leaving Savannah alone, but it did not seem to matter as she enjoyed the moment 100%.

Of course, LeBron did not miss a thing and quickly reacted in the Stories section of his Instagram account.

He was speechless and attached heart eyes and brown hearts emojis that left him stunned, no doubt about it.

LeBron and Savannah have three children, Bronny, 20, Bryce, 17, and Zhuri, 10. They got married in 2013 and are still very much in love after 12 years together.

He is clearly returning the support his wife gave him during the Lakers‘ disappointing season, and boy did he need it. Even though things didn’t turn out the way he wanted, Bronny James was the target of criticism and LeBron had to stand up for his son like the great father who loves his child.
