British Formula 1 race driver Lewis Hamilton purchased a table at the Met Gala on Monday for rising Black fashion designers. Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, invited four Black emerging designers to his table, which, according to CNET, cost over $275,000 and can be excluding to rising artists. Major designers typically purchase tables and invite celebrities who they've dressed for the night. Additionally, individual tickets can cost over $30,000 for the star-studded night. Hamilton said he was inspired to invite his guests as he fights to "champion and empower young people from underrepresented groups" in the United Kingdom. "We're living in a time where diversity and inclusion is so important, and that's something I'm fighting for in my industry," he said. lewis hamilton bought a table and invited young black designers to the met gala so they could have a platform and create their own impact on the fashion world, this is what using your own platform for good means #MetGala...
