Brittney Griner became the first WNBA player to attend the Met Gala in 2023 .

She wowed in a custom-made Calvin Klein suit.

Stylist Courtney Mays has dressed some of sports' biggest stars for more than a decade .

Mays and the team pulled the look together in three weeks , flying to Phoenix once a week for fittings.

Mays' work has long been a mainstay of professional basketball’s unofficial runway known as tunnel fits.

She's dressed the New York Liberty's Breanna Stewart , the Connecticut Sun's Tina Charles and retired star Sue Bird .

Mays is participating in the Met Gala again this year and says to expect “a visual attempt to show that diversity in style when you see women in sports”.
