For decades, celebrities have walked down the red (or pink) carpet at the Met Gala, arguably the most important fashion event of the year. In the past, a nice tux was a passable wardrobe choice, but these days, it's an opportunity for men to live out their wildest fashion fantasies. Gender norms need not apply.
The 2023 edition's theme honored the late, great Karl Lagerfeld, and the stars did not disappoint. Jared Leto came dressed as Lagerfeld's beloved cat, Choupette, while Lil Nas X looked like a dazzling alien in head-to-toe diamonds and glitter. Bad Bunny and Pedro Pascal served up daring twists on classic suits, with Pascal wearing a stunning red coat over black shorts, and Bad Bunny wearing an open-backed blazer with a floral shawl.
As men's fashion evolves and the restrictions of tradition fall by the wayside, the looks get better with each passing year. The theme for 2024 is 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion' while the dress code is 'The Garden of Time.' The boys are sure to deliver on May 6!
