Bad Bunny Was Unrecognisable On The 2026 Met Gala Carpet

The singer wore prosthetics and makeup to appear older, with Mike Marino creating the look for the Met Gala’s Aging Body theme.

  • Referencing designer Charles James's 1947 gown "Bustle," the artist wore a custom Zara suit with a pussy bow detail to complement the prosthetic aesthetic.
  • This marks the singer's fifth consecutive show-stopping Met Gala look, continuing his reputation for theatrical fashion since making his debut at the annual event in 2022.
