Bad Bunny returns to Met Gala as co-chair — and with fashionable flair in a head-turning look

Bad Bunny might be the "Most Wanted" man on the road − but on fashion's biggest night, he's a patron saint of la moda.

The reggaeton superstar, currently on his headlining Most Wanted tour, took a break from the musical action to co-chair the 2024 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City Monday night.

Bad Bunny stunned in a suave navy-blue suit, which he topped off with a plush hat and matching floral bouquet, reflecting the Met Gala's nature-inspired dress code of "The Garden of Time."

The "Monaco" emcee gave some insight into the meticulous preparation that went into his gala attire during an episode of Vogue’s “73 Questions” in April.

"You can't really improvise for the Met," Bad Bunny told the fashion outlet in Spanish, before playfully adding, "If I want to attend a different red carpet and decide to wear boxers last minute, I do it."

Bad Bunny’s sartorial splash follows his appearance at last year’s Met Gala.

The Puerto Rican rapper, known for his gender-nonconforming approach to style, pushed the envelope for men’s fashion with a white Jacquemus suit and rosette-covered cape. He paired an open-backed jacket with a floor-dusting cape covered with roses and slicked his hair back with pearl studs.
