The look paid tribute to her idol, the late Florence Griffith Joyner, commonly known as Flo-Jo.
Before the glamorous event, she received a heart-melting note from her partner, Christian Coleman, who shared on X:
"I'm only interested in seeing one person outfit at the met gala tonight."
Despite the sparkle and spotlight, Richardson continues to train diligently at Star Athletics Club under coach Dennis Mitchell.

Team Spirit and Mental Growth
)
Richardson credits her teammates for helping her grow, not only as an athlete but as a person. Speaking to Olympics.com, she opened up about the supportive environment fostered by fellow sprinters Melissa Jefferson and Twanisha Terry.
"We have those building conversations where we compliment each other's talents as well as compliment each other's strengths," Sha’Carri Richardson said.
"But also... we have those uncomfortable conversations to hold each other accountable. And we're able to embrace each other's weaknesses and actually help each other build up on those moments. So we have all types of conversation."
Reflecting on her journey leading up to the 2024 Paris Olympics—where she claimed silver in the 100m and gold in the 4x100m relay—Richardson emphasized the importance of her mental and emotional development.
"I know that the hard work I put in not even just physically on the track, as well as mentally and emotionally, to grow into the mature young lady that I am today and I'm going to continue to grow into...is a full fledged, surreal moment for me to actually embrace and be able to show to the world."
