Here's A Roundup Of The Best Men's Looks At The Met Gala, Because Someone Needs To Show Them How It's Done
Hot Topic
🔥 Full coverage and conversation on the Met Gala
Anyone else frothing at the mouth in anticipation of Colman Domingo 's Met Gala look in a couple of weeks? And yes, we are only weeks away from 2025's charity ball.
If you're not as tuned in to the wonders of Colman's fashion as I am, you may not know that he's one of the co-chairs for the upcoming event, along with Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and, of course, Ms. Anna Wintour herself. This year's theme is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. The dress code, 'Tailored for you', focuses on menswear, and I, for one, am beyond excited to see what the guys in attendance have in store for us.
But alas, every year there are always disappointments. We're all familiar with the dreaded black tuxedo that some men feel is appropriate to wear to the fashion event of the year. And hey — I can't fault them too much. It's classic and timeless, and it's super easy for me to sit and judge from the comfort of my hoodie that I've been wearing for multiple days. But since we're all hoping not to see a single boring menswear look this time, I've rounded up some of my all-time favorite looks from men at the Met Galas over the years. Let's get to it!
1. Sebastian Stan in Valentino, 2022

2. Zayn Malik in Versace, 2016

Behind the scenes of Trump's ‘iconic' McDonald's visit before election victory: ‘That was epic'
Fox Nation is offering a rare glimpse into Donald Trump's pivotal McDonald's visit during the final weeks of his 2024 campaign with a multi-episode installment of 'The Art of the Surge.' It all starts at a McDonald's drive-thru, where the then-GOP nominee traded a suit for an apron and got to work as a fry cook in Feasterville, Pennsylvania last October. Advertisement 'I've always wanted to work at McDonald's, and I never did,' he told workers inside the building. The first episode of the series documents Trump's 'first day' on the job from the very beginning, as he requested to work the french fry cooker and learned the process. He walked through, step-by-step, dunking fries into hot oil, shaking the basket, pouring servings into the signature red McDonald's cartons and sprinkling salt over them. It became an iconic moment on the campaign trail as the notorious New York City business magnate-turned-president performed a job many Americans have had at one point in their lives. Advertisement He even greeted customers wrapped around the building at the drive-thru window. As one family took a Happy Meal from his hands he quipped with a smile, 'It's going to be the best you've ever had. It had better be. I made it myself.' 3 President Trump waving to customers from a McDonald's drive-thru window during a campaign stop in Feasterville-Trevose, Pa. on October 20, 2024. Getty Images Customers passed on their messages of encouragement as the high-stakes faceoff with then-vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris was merely two weeks away, with both teams in a mad sprint to the finish line. Advertisement 'Make America great again!' one driver said. Another, shaking hands with Trump, said, '45-47, you've got this, sir.' 3 Trump filling and order of french fries at the Pennsylvania McDonald's. Photo by Doug Mills-Pool/Getty Images Trump paused, on occasion, to wave at the mass of fans cheering and holding 'Trump-Vance' signs nearby. He told WTXF reporter JoAnn Pileggi that the crowd was smiling and upbeat because they wanted hope. Advertisement Turning back inside the building, he faced the camera at one point and smiled as he noted how much fun he was having. 'I could do this all day. I wouldn't mind this job,' he said. 3 Trump serving a customer an order at the drive-thru window. Photo byTrump's efforts were viewed by many as a mockery of a claim his opponent had worked for the fast food chain while in college. At one point, Trump even remarked, 'I've now worked for 15 minutes. Fifteen more than Kamala.' As his team departed on his personal plane, Trump's deputy director of communications Margo Martin enthused about the day. 'That was epic,' she said.
