Met Gala 2026 brings its A-game to men’s fashion
It is often seen that when it comes to fashion, men are left with the same simple and boring options. From the Oscars, Emmys or Golden Globes, most famous men choose to wear a black suit or the standard tux. However, the Met Gala often gives them a chance to think outside the box and bring their most creative fashion desires to life. From Billy Porter wearing gold feathers and a headpiece to Jared Leto wearing a prosthetic replica of his head or Marc Jacobs wearing a see-through lace dress, there have been some male celebs in the past who have been willing to take fashion risks. So let’s take a look at what this year’s Met Gala brought to the red carpet.

Luke Evans, on the other hand, went a complete 180 degrees from Troy and Coleman and opted for a full leather look paying homage to Tom of Finland. The brown leather fit the actor perfectly, although how he moved in it is a mystery only he can reveal. However, Patrick Schwarzenegger remained far behind them. The star opted for an all-black look, with the white color reflecting off his shirt.
