These Are The 7 Times Men Ditched The Black Tux And Actually Went All Out For The Met Gala
The Met Gala is the one night a year where celebrities are encouraged to bring their all in fashion, and we've seen dozens of iconic looks. For the men, "their all" often seems to be the same black suit.
However, here are just a few times that men really understood the assignment when it comes to the Met Gala:
1.Chadwick Boseman, 2018
Starting off this list with a nod to the late, great Chadwick Boseman, who turned up in this stunning Catholic-inspired look for the 2018 Met Gala.
2.Billy Porter, 2019
Truly, half of this list could be composed of Billy Porter looks. He's been showing everyone how menswear is done at the Gala for years. To showcase some variety, I'll stick to his gorgeous gold look in 2019 — bonus points for being carried in by a group of men.
3.Conan Gray, 2023
The fan, the hair, the tail on the suit...it's all *chef's kiss.*
4.A$AP Rocky, 2021
Perhaps it's only his adjacency to Rihanna that made me like this outfit so much, but I very much appreciate this puffy quilted...cloak? Blanket? Whatever it is, it's fun to look at and seems very comfy.
5.Bad Bunny, 2023
Bad Bunny is another one who routinely pulls iconic looks, but my favorite has got to be this simple white suit with the long trail of bouquet flowers. Can't imagine it was fun to walk behind him, though.
6.Frank Ocean, 2021
There's something so delightfully zany about Frank Ocean's creepy green baby and his matching green buzz cut. Now, if only we could get him in the studio for another album...
7.And Lil Nas X, 2021
Lil Nas X has been starting his Met Gala iconic looks empire in the past few years, and my favorite look of his has got to be this golden suit for the 2021 Gala.
