Let's Hear It For The Boys: Top Men's Looks From The 2023 Met Gala

Let’s be honest; generally, when we examine red carpets, we’re focused on the ladies (because Black women just always show up and show out). And rightfully so because they did their thing at this year’s Met Gala (see: Doja, Keke, Janelle Monáe). But we would be remiss if we didn’t give credit to the fellas. From ruffled capes and pearl necklaces to classic black and white tux & bowtie combo and ensembles that challenged the binary (s/o to Alton Mason), the night’s theme was observed, and men really pushed the limits of menswear while also offering timeless staples.

Style icon Russell Westbrook channeled Chanel in his custom Bode look, complete with a pearl necklace, while Usher paid homage to Karl’s signature look (black suit, white shirt, gloves, shades) with a sleek Bianca Saunders suit. The Thom Browne boys, Pusha T and Shai presented super smart sartorial looks that were distinctly Thome Browne yet alluded to Karl. All and all, let’s hear for the boys!
