Simmons’ Browne outfit was part of this year’s Met Gala theme that comes from the 2024 Costume Institute exhibition at the Met called “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”
“When an item of clothing enters our collection, its status is changed irrevocably. What was once a vital part of a person’s lived experience is now a motionless ‘artwork’ that can no longer be worn or heard, touched, or smelled. The exhibition endeavors to animate these artworks by re-awakening their sensory capacities through a range of technologies, affording visitors sensorial ‘access’ to rare historical garments and rarefied contemporary fashions,” Andrew Bolton, curator in charge of The Costume Institute, said in a statement in April .
While it’s not clear if Simmons has previously worn any of Browne’s looks, the designer has promoted his work that Clippers star Russell Westbrook wore for System Magazine in April.
Simmons, the talented guard acquired in February 2022 in the James Harden trade with the 76ers, has not played as much as the Nets have hoped, suiting up in only 57 of 192 possible regular-season games since coming to Brooklyn.
In 2023-24, he played in 15 games before being shut down in March with a nerve impingement in his lower back that required surgery .
The issue also brought both knee and leg issues that largely kept him off the court this past season.
However, The Post’s Brian Lewis reported the Nets are not planning to move on from Simmons, but instead have plans for him for the 2024-25 season.
In what is the final year of his contract, he is set to make $40 million.
