In the 2010s, after a surge of experimentation at men’s fashion shows, male stars at the Met began to adopt a more free wheeling spirit. As Jacobs said, “boring” was no longer acceptable. Out went the suits, in came the outré looks. Some of the best moments in the past decade have been entirely out of box. Jaden Smith offered up the wildest example of this when he carried his own dreadlocks on the carpet in 2017. Other winning ensembles have come as the result of absolute commitment to a theme. Take Kanye West’s robotic Balmain look from the technology theme in 2016 Chadwick Boseman’s angelic Versace cape for the “Heavenly Bodies” theme in 2018 Jared Leto, who went full on camp in 2019, with a prosthetic of his own head designed by Gucci’s Alessandro Michele tucked under his arm.
At the 2021 American fashion themed Met Gala, men in Hollywood took theatrical red carpet style to staggering new heights. Rapper Lil Nas X wore three bold Versace creations on the carpet—including an ornate cape, gold armor, and glitzy bodysuit. A$AP Rocky also wore a quilted ERL cape, which perfectly complemented Rihanna’s voluminous Balenciaga design. At the 2022 Met Gala, stars like Jared Leto, Gunna, and Alton Mason brought forward their best Gilded Age suiting. On the 2023 red carpet, which honored Karl Lagerfeld, Jeremy Popes dramatic Balmain cape extended to reveal a long train bearing the late designers portrait. Alton Mason, also dressed in Balmain, showed up as one of Lagerfelds iconic Chanel brides Bad Bunnys white Jacquemus look also nodded to bridal style.
