The Met Gala is the annual fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
Everyone knows the Met Gala is one of the most anticipated fashion events of the year…
And one look from Jared Leto last night is certainly turning heads.
Scroll on to see what he wore…
Just like every year, the Met Gala is all anyone can talk about!
As each year the cultural elite take to the red carpet to show off outfits that are absolutely mind-blowing while the rest of the world gawks.
The Met Gala has a long history of being the place to go for groundbreaking fashion.
Every year designers bring their most cutting-edge designs to the red carpet to make an impression.
But there’s so much more to the event than just beautiful dresses.
Each year the gala committee chooses a theme to guide designers.
The theme changes the game.
All of the post-event blogs take time to dissect how well the outfits met that brief, and whose interpretations were the most powerful.
Met Gala themes have been all over the place.
Everything from British fashion and superheroes, to punk and technology.
2018’s theme was a popular favorite.
“Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.”
The theme left room for some exciting interpretation and boy did people deliver.
The theme gives attendees a chance to go bold.
And they do not shy away from the opportunity.
The theme pays tribute to fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld nearly 4 years on from his death.
“Karl never tired of telling me that fashion did not belong in a museum,” the Costume Institute’s Wendy Yu Curator in Charge, Andrew Bolton, told Vogue.
“When we worked on the Chanel show together he was incredibly generous in what he lent, but he was completely disinterested in the exhibition itself!”
“He would say, ‘Fashion is not art — fashion belongs on the street, on women’s bodies, on men’s bodies.’”
But there was one look that really got the internet talking!
And it came from none other than Jared Leto.
Because rather than a conventional suit …
He walked the red carpet dressed as a big fluffy cat!
Fans were befuddled until Leto removed the costume’s head and revealed himself.
Complete with a stunning smoky eye.
