2023 Met Gala Menswear

2023 Met Gala

Here is the final roundup which features remaining menswear looks from the 2023 Met Gala.

Much like Amber Valletta, Jordan Roth brought Karl’s signature fan to life wearing a Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress.

In lieu of our favourites, we can always rely on Jordan to make a dramatic entrance.

Ben Platt served up a classic boucle Chanel-inspired sailor suit designed by Wiederhoeft.

I didn’t expect Bradley Cooper to fully commit to the theme in Tom Ford, but he could’ve at least opted for some Karl-inspired shades.

The aviators missed the mark.

Dressed in dunhill, James McAvoy’s styling sold theme.  

This might just be the first time I am completely underwhelmed by a Maluma red carpet look.

He has always committed to a theme – Versace @ 2021 Met Gala – so this offering from BOSS was very underwhelming in comparison.

But that is not to say that he didn’t look good.  I just expected way more from him.

Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing brought his pagoda shoulders to the red carpet, while honouring Karl Lagerfeld by carrying the iconic Karl Who? tote bag.  

There were many gorgeous couples at the 2023 Met Gala (Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas, Hannah Bagshawe and Eddie Redmayne, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, Viola Davis and Julius Tennon, Tom Sturridge and Alexa Chung, Taika Waititi and Rita Ora, and Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade), but I think Sabrina Elba and Idris Elba were in the top two best dressed couples along with the Redmaynes.

It’s the silhouette and the sharpness of the tailoring of their Gucci looks for me.  Along with the colour coordination.

I couldn’t take my eyes off them.  

Sean Combs has always had a flair for fashion, so it is not surprising to see the music mogul rock his own Sean John Couture line on the red carpet.

I have to commend Diddy for totally nailing the theme.

Now I want a camellia flower ​accented ​puffed (no pun intended) cape.

When Versace met Karl Lagerfeld.

Simu Liu embraced the iconic image of Karl Lagerfeld himself, with a custom Atelier Versace tuxedo.

The actor was easily the most on theme of the entire night.

Proving that you didn’t need to go full Karl Lagerfeld to nail the theme, Taika Waititi joined his wife Rita Ora in wearing a look from Atelier Prabal Gurung.
