Lil Nas X, Met Gala 2023 – Pat McGrath
Bringing bold innovation to the 2023 Met Gala, Lil Nas X wore a metallic thong, body paint that was glistening silver, and an intricate adornment of Swarovski crystals and pearls that covered his entire body. Lil Nas X, who is well-known for his genre-bending song “Old Town Road” and his unafraid attitude to self-expression, frequently draws attention to himself with his music and unusual costume choices. His penchant of theatrical and memorable appearances was demonstrated by his striking look at the event, which included a bejeweled eye mask and manicure and was a collaboration with stylist Nicola Formichetti and makeup artist Pat McGrath.

Anok Yai, Met Gala 2023 – Prabal Gurung
Anok Yai is a Sudanese American model who originally rose to recognition after a picture of her during Howard University’s homecoming went viral. She is well-known for her striking appearance and has subsequently collaborated with luxury labels like Versace, Chanel, and Prada. She even became the second black model, after Naomi Campbell, to launch a Prada show. She dazzled at the Met Gala 2023 in a piece by Atelier Prabal Gurung that was glistening with hand-embroidered sequin paillettes and oxidized gold and silver. Bugle-beaded fringe decorated the gown’s distinctive pannier form. It gave the appearance of falling beads as it flowed into a translucent silk tulle mermaid skirt.
