Blond Lil Nas X sports glittering jumpsuit on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet
What will Lil Nas X dream up next?
The “Old Town Road” rapper is known for pushing boundaries when it comes to fashion, and he pulled off yet another memorable look when he hit the Met Gala 2024 red carpet on Monday.
The 25-year-old Grammy winner — born Montero Lamar Hill — made a statement on the Met steps in an off-white suit by Luar.
The ensemble featured asymmetrical panels of silver sequined fabric held together with long lines of cream-colored buttons.
The singer dyed his hair blond for the special occasion and completed the look with diamond studs, an Analog: Shift-sourced Vintage Piaget watch and crystal-covered clear nails.
Lil Nas X gave a nod to this year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with his look, which featured a large white rose on the lapel.
The singer is known for his out-of-the-box dressing; from running a half marathon in designer sneakers to his controversial blood-soaked tampon Halloween costume, he’s always the star of the show.
As for his prior Met Gala looks, the “Montero” rapper has stepped out in plenty of bold ensembles, like the crystal-covered thong he wore to 2023’s soiree, held in honor of legendary fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.
Lil Nas X paid homage to the late Lagerfeld’s famous cat, Choupette, with his look, wearing a feline mask and more than 200,000 Swarovski crystals glued to his silver spray-painted body in one of the ball’s most memorable looks.
While he skipped the 2022 gala, the musician decided to go for the gold in 2021, wearing an Atelier Versace outfit that started with a plush velvet cape before revealing a C-3PO-like gold suit of armor underneath.
The “Industry Baby” singer wasn’t quite done with two looks, eventually revealing a sparkling beaded bodysuit after he removed his robot-like ‘fit.
As for next year’s Met Gala look, we have a feeling it will be anything but “lil.”
