This year’s Met Gala, held on Monday in New York City, saw male celebs bring their A-game.
This year’s gala’s theme and dress code paid tribute to the late designer Karl Lagerfeld.
Here are the best-dressed men at the Met Gala, from a Chanel bride-inspired look to a dazzling crystal body paint look.
Alton Mason dressed up as the Chanel bride for the 2023 Met Gala.

According to W Magazine, Mason, a Jamaican-Ghanaian model, was the first black model to walk the Chanel catwalk for the house’s 2018 Métier d’art show.
The Chanel bride is the last sight of every Chanel Haute Couture show, where Lagerfeld sends the season’s “it girl” down the catwalk in a handmade white gown.
According to Vogue, other Chanel brides include Shalom Harlow and Cara Delevinge.
Mason wore an all-white ensemble to the Met Gala with lace appliques and a tulle veil.
Cai Xukun, also known as Kun, a Chinese singer-songwriter, arrived in a sequined Prada coat.

Cai is one of China’s top stars, with over 38.2 million Weibo followers.
According to i-D magazine, he made his debut as a member of the boyband SWIN in October 2016 after competing in the Chinese reality program “Super Idol.” In 2018, he confirmed his status by winning “Idol Producer,” another reality program modeled on South Korea’s Produce 101 franchise.
Cai wore a long sequined Prada coat with a fractured glass effect to the Met Gala.
He’s also been a Prada ambassador for a few years, having initially appeared in the brand’s Fall 2019 menswear campaign, according to Women’s Wear Daily.
Lil Nas X collaborated with Pat McGrath, a makeup artist, to create a sparkling silver cat look with crystals and pearls.

McGrath told Vogue that the outfit took them nine hours to put together.
According to McGrath, Lagerfeld’s beloved pet cat Choupette served as inspiration for the cat-themed outfit, which required thousands of crystals “from Austria” and “couture lace from 25 years ago.”
Pedro Pascal arrived dressed in a red Valentino coat, black shorts, and high socks.

The Chilean-born actor, who stars in HBO’s “The Last of Us,” is enjoying a major Hollywood moment, and his Met Gala attire is making waves on Twitter.
Pascal’s admirers have been tweeting about his “slutty” bare knees, a reference to another post about the actor’s knee-baring pose that went viral earlier this year.
Jeremy Pope paid tribute to Lagerfeld by wearing a Balmain-inspired cloak with a drawing of the late German designer.

The Met Gala’s steps have seen some incredible garment trains over the years, and this year’s winner is actor Jeremy Pope, who arrived in a 30-foot cloak embroidered with Lagerfeld’s face, according to Fashionista.
The Balmain ensemble was created with the assistance of 70 seamstresses and “nearly 5,000 meters of silk chiffon,” according to the company.
Conan Gray, a singer-songwriter, was also dressed up in a bejeweled Balmain suit with a matching fan.

Balmain was the designer of Gray’s suit, according to W Magazine. It has a floor-length jacket with sequin sleeves and pearl embellishment.
The singer is no stranger to breathtaking Met Gala looks; last year, he wore a transparent Valentino shirt with a billowy, translucent cloak.
With a playful floral train and a backless blazer, Bad Bunny turned heads in Jacquemus.

Proper in front, yet wild in the rear.
At this year’s Met Gala, Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny wore a dramatic 26-foot flower train, but it was his backless blazer that stole the show.
NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wore a Thom Browne tweed ensemble.

He was awarded GQ’s most fashionable guy in 2022, and he stood up to his fashionista image at this year’s ceremony.
The 24-year-old chose to drape two contrasting tweed jackets over one another for his red carpet outfit, which he accessorized with black sunglasses.
Sean “Diddy” Combs arrived in a self-designed ensemble that included a floor-length cloak decorated with camellia blooms.

In addition to music, Combs created the fashion line, Sean John, in 1998, according to Vogue.
According to Fashionista, citing a press statement from the business, his self-designed Sean John ensemble incorporates 600 Swarovski crystals and black pearls as an homage to Lagerfeld’s work at Chanel.
