The Most Stylish Men at the Met Gala Over the Years
From Hollywood’s leading men to chart-topping rappers and musicians, let’s celebrate the It Boys who consistently showcase their fashion prowess at the Met Gala every first Monday in May.
While some choose the classic elegance of a traditional suit, the standout gentlemen at this iconic event dare to push the boundaries of fashion. By interpreting the dress code with an array of bold patterns, unique textures, and unconventional silhouettes, the common thread among the most unforgettable appearances is masterful tailoring.
During 2019’s theme “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” Harry Styles fully embraced the evening’s extravagant spirit in a custom Gucci by Alessandro Michele outfit, featuring a sheer black lace top adorned with a large frilly bow, complemented by a single pearl earring and a pair of chunky men’s heels.
Fast forward to 2023’s “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” where ASAP Rocky honored the iconic designer in a striking red Gucci kilt, reminiscent of a look Lagerfeld sported in 2004. His pearl-encrusted jeans paid tribute to the renowned fashion house, while a leather tie and glove perfectly captured Karl’s essence.
In 2024, with the theme “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” the menswear on the red carpet was anything but forgettable. Bad Bunny captivated the audience in a custom Maison Margiela Artisanal Collection piece by John Galliano—a black satin corset paired with a navy smoking jacket. He topped off the look by carrying a bouquet of roses made from the same fabric as his stylish wool suit.
