This year’s Met Gala has been a particularly fun one for us to cover, because for once, we spent almost as much time giving the male attendees spotlight posts than the female ones. We’d have liked to have given nearly all of the following looks a spotlight post, but eventually, we’ve gotta start rounding the unjudged ones up and do a mass judging. If you’re worried we missed one of your guy faves, check out all of our Met Gala 2025 coverage. Gentlemen? Start your engines…
Andrew Scott in Giuliva Heritage
Every year, while we live tweet our way through the Met Gala red carpet, one menswear look always goes viral and becomes the one everyone wants to dunk on that night. This year, it was this suit, which inspired a lot of truly hilarious commentary about him being a colorblind Joker or attending the funeral of a Keebler elf. But honestly? It’s probably one of the least objectionable things he’s worn, from our perspective. The colors are harsh, but this was the night to go a little wild. HATE the shoes.
Bad Bunny in Prada
The most fabulous passenger at the bus stop. While the bag seems a little too prop-like, we absolutely love this look. The colors look gorgeous on him and we love that upscale pava hat. The gloves are distracting, however, and we don’t think white boots were the way to go.
Henry Golding in Ozwald Boateng
It’s a gorgeous suit, but we tend to think the Met Gala requires a tie. Love the Superman hair on him.
Jaden Smith in Ozwald Boateng
The suit is great. The cape doesn’t really coordinate with it. It just looks like something thrown over it.
Jeff Goldblum in Wales Bonner
He’s probably the only white man in attendance who can make that coat work for him. We’re not loving the lining, however.
Jeremy Allen White in Louis Vuitton
Someone on social media said he came dressed as a slave owner and now that’s all we can see. It’s a fine suit, but this was literally the easiest the Met Gala theme is ever going to be for male attendees to interpret and you went for the most standard formalwear you could snag.
Maluma in Willy Chavarria
Absolutely gorgeous. We don’t even like that textile on its own, but rendered in a suit, on him, it’s sublime.
Ncuti Gatwa in Ozwald Boateng
Absolutely lovely and impeccable. We understand there’s a certain theatrical quality to dandyism, but we’re not sure it makes sense to be carrying gloves while you’re sporting the kind of hand jewelry that makes wearing them impossible.
Patrick Schwarzenegger in Balmain
Said with no bitchery whatsoever: He tried it. And by that we mean we’re impressed by the effort. We didn’t think he was the kind of guy to wear something like this at the Met Gala and it makes us think better of him. It’s not a great look for him, although the jumpsuit is pretty fantastic. The yellow shirt looks terrible with it.
Regé-Jean Page in Brioni
Can’t argue with any of that, although the pants are way too long.
Tramell Tillman in Thom Browne
LOVE this for him. He said that he’d made it a professional goal several years back to get invited to the Met Gala and we’re thrilled he got to do it on a night devoted to Black dandies. The look is stunning, although we can’t say we love the hem length with those slippers.
Walton Goggins in Thom Browne
Sir, that’s not your dress.
