For the 2023 Met Gala, the men stepped things up with boundary-pushing silhouettes, from unconventional layers and statement-making robes to even a giant cat costume, proudly worn by Jared Leto. However, Bad Bunny stood out from all the rest. The “Tití Me Preguntó” singer looked suave as ever in an all-white custom tweed suit by Jacquemus, finished with a 26-foot-long rosette cape. As if the look wasn’t already a sartorial vision, he gave viewers a show when he turned around, revealing a cutout back.
The 29-year-old sported matching platform leather derby shoes and pearl stud earrings, switching things up by shying away from his usual cornrow braids and instead opting for slicked-back hair. With this year’s theme of “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” many celebrities showed up in black-and-white suiting, in accordance with the late designer’s signature apparel, but Bad Bunny’s monochrome outfit took masculinity to new heights, leaving fans in awe.
The groundbreaking moment also marked designer Simon Porte Jacquemus’s first Met Gala look, as he shared in an Instagram post, writing, “THIS MET MEANS SO MUCH TO ME, KARL WAS MY FAVORITE DESIGNER AND THE FIRST WHO SUPPORTED ME. I DESIGNED THESE LOOKS AS A TRIBUTE TO KARL, TO HONOUR HIS MEMORY & INCREDIBLE LEGACY. KARL FOREVER.”
Meanwhile, Bad Bunny’s appearance is a major departure from his Met Gala debut last year, where he wore a custom Burberry boilersuit and a Gibson Girl updo with gold pins. The Grammy Award-winning rapper has produced other style moments worth remembering, including the patchwork puffer and matching denim outfit he rocked at Coachella last month and the sleek leather bomber he wore for an NYC date night with rumored girlfriend Kendall Jenner. The duo also linked up at the Met Gala, even coordinating their dark-toned afterparty looks with flashes of shimmer.
Ahead, take a moment to further bask in Bad Bunny’s whimsy from a few more angles.
