Lil’ Nas X was a bejeweled cat at the Met Gala in this Dior look, styled by Pat McGrath. Vogue reports that this look took 9 hours and that the pearls and crystals were sourced from all over the world by a team of people. His body was the main attraction and he looks like a fitness model. I tried to see if he’s talked about his fitness and nutrition and he sort-of has, just saying that he works out a few times a week and that rehearsals keep him fit. He’s also said he has a fast metabolism.
Lil’ Nas just meowed when he was asked about his look! I did lol

Miranda Kerr was also in Dior. She looked absolutely beautiful and I love the way the embroidered beads spread out down the skirt. This is a very staid gown but it works.
Alexandra Daddario was kind of washed out in this nude Dior with scalloped tiers. The coloring is all wrong. Her darker hair is kind of throwing off the look too. She’s so pretty though.
I’m including model Alton Mason, whom I wasn’t familiar with before last night. He’s walked the runway for Chanel. He described this as a Chanel bridal look and I definitely noticed him on the carpet. I loved this. It’s very Lil Nas!

Lil Nas is exquisite.
Absolutely. He can wear anything he wants and look incredible! And yeah, he has a fast metabolism… he’s what, 24? Wear that stuff while you can! Hahaha. But seriously. Wear the bodycon and five pounds of slap while you can!
Yep. Exquisite. He looks over the top, which is just the right fit for the met gala and for him. Did not realize it was Pat McGrath but I’m always in awe of her skills. Possibly I’m biased bc I love him. The fact that he just meowed when asked questions😂
Meow meow!!!
this is giving me the vibes of the capital, before the hunger games begin…
Lil nas X showed up looking like syphilis is a Twitter comment lol
Lol @Southern Fried. I’m laughing because when it comes to cats it’s chlamydia that would be the normal problem. Not syphilis! I know these things.lol When I took our cat to the vet and they said they wanted to test her for such diseases, I defiantly said, “Go ahead. She will pass your tests.”. Yes, I defended our cat’s possible sexual behavior.lol She’s allowed to roam around the neighborhood at all times. But, her furbaby parents believe she’s innnocent. In our defense, our next door neighbor told us a story about another neighborhood male cat wanting to take her(our cat) on.
He said, “Her fur was up and she appeared to be double her size with claws out. In fact, she looked like Agreatreckoning waiting for the challenge.”. Ultimately, he confirmed that our cat wasn’t sleeping around. She’s a fighter, not a lover.lol
Love Lil nas X. he was Choupette.
LOVED the mask! The whole look was great.
i dont know why but Lil Nas is just one of those people i love regardless of what antics they get up too. and this is no exception. i applaud how unapologetic he is i love his creative energy. Go Nas
Yeah I am biased I guess, but I love every single thing Lil Nas does.
Absolutely same. I follow him on TikTok and he’s just so funny and gives a real genuine vibe. He’s got an infectious personality. I would have loved to see him in something like Alton’s outfit too.
Me too, I love his energy and hope for good things for him. He brings out the mom in me. 😂
Lil Nas, 10/10 for effort and execution, plus extra points for committing fully to the theme.
Miranda Kerr looks lovely. I also like the Chanel bridal look on Alton. Alexandra looks kind of boring and the eye makeup makes it look like she’s ill, which must have taken some effort because she’s a natural beauty.
The boys brought it. The girls clearly left it at home.
Agreed.
Lil Nas X is bringing me straight up joy here. I don’t know Alton Mason, but yes, yes, yes.
Sorry ladies, maybe another time. Probably not, actually.
One hundred percent! The guys were looking great!
It’s a costume gala. I want to see interesting things, not boring pretty dresses.
Regarding Lil Nas, both! It was a stunt, but an amazing one. That’s his thing. My only issue was the pics and videos really up close triggered my trypophobia!
Yes! And what’s the Met without a stunt??
the Daddario’s just have some good genes. Her brother is just as gorgeous.
Lil Nas X ate that one. The costume team put in the work and he pulled it off magnificently.
Alexandria’s dress was okay but it did terrible things to her breasts. I’m not sure what to say about Lil Nas other than he wears the heck out of all his looks. 😂
I was trying to figure out if an actual color would have been better.
Lil Naz serving Tobias Fünke realness. A million f*ing diamonds!
(Tell me I’m not the only Arrested Development fan in the house!)
Love everything about it! And the meow! I love him.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
You’re not alone. I LOVE Arrested Dev.
I was wondering if someone was going to come as Choupette, and Lil Nas was perfect.
I appreciate that Lil Nas X is about the presentation and the drama, but his look creeped me out and it was just nightmarish.
Alexandra Daddario looked like she was going to a garden party.
Oh, thank goodness, somebody else felt this way! I love the guy, I do, but something about the makeup on his face just creeped me out. He looks less like a cat & more like a 3D Lucian Freud painting. Or one of those sculptures where you see the heavy-handed application of clay. I’m not sure how to describe that, nor can I think of the particular sculptures I’ve seen of the technique, but…ick. Plus I don’t think I personally could wear that on my face all evening. But by golly, if that’s the look he was going for it’s a good one! 😉
Lil Nas X definitely pulled off that look. I love his commitment and that he is just so confident in his choices. That said, I didn’t really like that he basically looked naked. Naked painted with silver, like a Greek statue come to life in the 21st Century. It was fine until the camera kind focused in on his butt, then I was like “too much!” LOL. But that’s probably just me. I’m not into big body reveals.
I thought Lea’s dress was great and so flattering on her. Agree J Lo’s hat was all wrong. She looked great but it didn’t quite hit the mark. A lot of very pretty but not so interesting gowns. Emily Blunt’s look was kind of cool. I liked Kylie’s dress a lot. I love a red dress.
You know whose look I loved? Elle Fannings! She wore a 1950s Chanel wedding gown with a sort of loose wrap and a big bouquet of mostly daisies. Her hair was down. It was a great mash-up of mid-century Chanel glamour and romantic 19th century Goth. And it was very much HER style which I liked.
I think more guys need to show up to black tie events in a thong, a mask, and body paint. It would certainly liven up the Oscars and White House state dinners.
Even though I disagree with you, I just have to say, the way you expressed that is really nice. A lot of times you’ll see people either changing their reactions to a rebellion against traditional values based on sex and gender, or just resorting to dehumanizing slurs, gaslighting, character assassination and victim-blaming across the board. This reaction had none of that, just an “I’m not into that.” More of this please! The only thing that would have made his look cooler to me is some kind of long sheer train.
What?
So many of these look like costumes or almost sci-fi too me.
The met gala raises money for the costume institute. So costumes should be on theme.
I know people were questioning Gisele’s presence in the fashion world in another post but for me it’s always been Miranda Kerr, she looks so bland and forgettable, how did she become a supermodel?
I didn’t know Alton Mason either but I like his look, is not something you would expect from a man.
Lil Nas always looks great/original, which I love because men’s looks tend to be boring.
Lil Nas looks great (oh, to be 24 again!) Although I’m getting “nubile nymph glittering in diamonds” more than I am “cat.” Love Alton Mason’s look too. The rest are a bit boring for the Met Gala, IMO.
I didn’t realize Lil Nas X was a cat, I thought he looked like a sparkly barnacle from the seas. LOL. I do appreciate the artistry and commitment on every look he wears!
Eeek !
It’s a great look for the Met Gala but I feel like his poses are off? IDK I think maybe something more cat-like would work better to show off his ensemble yet I’m not sure what that would look like. Good thing I’m not in charge of these things I guess.
Stunt-queening
alton’s look was a miss. all i see is a giant high waisted lace diaper.
I LOVE THIS Nas X look. LLLLOOVVVEEEEE pearls on his face and chest, just beautiful artistry. I LOVE IT!!!!!! Go big or go home!!! I will forget everyone else’s outfit in a few days, but this one!!!!!
Lil Nas X’s look was my favorite of the night. He’s fire, but he’s also ice. He brings the WOW factor and the Hollywood glamour for me, in a whole new way. Just YES.
Alton Mason 🔥 so good
Alton was the first black male model to walk for Chanel!
Nope nope
