While walking the red carpet, Ciara and Russell Wilson stopped and spoke to Entertainment Tonight. The singer revealed that Wilson attended the Met Gala because he signed with the Giants.

Ciara said Wilson's schedule typically has him at offseason workouts or training, which is usually on the West Coast. This year, he's preparing for his upcoming season with the Giants, hence his availability on the East Coast. She also gushed about how special it was to finally walk the red carpet together.

"Oh, it's amazing cuz, he can never do this," Ciara said. "He's normally on the west coast or like over that way. I know. And so I said he went from the MetLife to the Met Gala tonight. So truly it's pretty cool."

While Russell Wilson made his debut at the event, Ciara attended the event in 2022.
