Met 2025: Andre 3000 wears an entire piano on his back and holds a garbage bag in hand; fans think it is 'iconic'
The Met Gala 2025 is here, and so is the iconic and bizarre series of outfits by celebrities. Most of the people opted for an attention-grabbing hat as their first choice of Met Gala accessory, but this year, Andre 3000 chose something more unique.
The OutKast rapper did wear an eye-catching chapeau (and a look by Burberry); however, this was hardly a thing that people noticed in his outfit.
The most striking thing that people noticed was his entire piano strapped to his back and a garbage bag in his hand.
Context behind Andre 3000's outfit
The outfit has a context behind it. Andre stepped out onto the carpet just a few minutes after he surprised fans with a new project, which is a 16-minute EP called 7 Piano Sketches.
The cover depicts an illustrated version of the musician with a piano strapped to his back. Moreover, the artist wrote on his Instagram, "These piano sketches are improvisations. To conjure them up, I spread my fingers out on the keys and randomly but with purpose move them around until I find something that feels good or interesting."
"'If it feels really good I will try to repeat it. I cannot name which notes, keys, or chords that I'm playing. I simply like the sound and mechanics of piano playing," it added.
Netizens react to Andre 3000's piano back strap outfit
As soon as Andre 3000's pictures surfaced on social media, netizens shared their reactions, and one said, "NOT ANDRE 3000 WEARING A WHOLE PIANO OH ICONIC😭😭😭😭😭 #MetGala"

Patrick Schwarzenegger Reveals ‘Funny' Fan Moment After White Lotus 3 Aired
Last Updated: Patrick revealed that some fans were so into his character that they had sent him money on Venmo. Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of the legendary Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his ex-wife Maria Shriver, earned much praise for his role in the third season of The White Lotus. The 31-year-old actor, who played the role of Saxon Ratliff in the series, recently discussed a hilarious incident while the third season of the HBO comedy series aired. In an interview with People alongside his White Lotus co-star Aimee Lou Wood, Patrick revealed that some fans were so into his character that they had sent him money on Venmo. He said, 'I don't know if this ever happened to you, Aimee — I sent it in our group text from White Lotus — but I have people that sent me money on Venmo during episodes of White Lotus." Calling the incident 'funny", the 31-year-old actor added, 'I sent it all back, don't worry. But I did. I got a lot of people who sent me money." Aimee, who played Chelsea in White Lotus 3, reacted to Patrick's experience, sharing that she could not relate to it. However, she admitted that it did remind her of her own quirky habit during filming. She confessed to spending all the money on coconuts while they were shooting for White Lotus 3 in Thailand. Talking about her 'addiction" to coconuts, Aimee said, 'It was chronic. I could not stop with the coconuts. I just absolutely loved them! I was so hydrated. I think I was overly hydrated, actually." The duo also spoke about their blossoming friendship, which began last summer while they were filming in Thailand. Aimee and Patrick, who worked together again on an advertisement for Venmo recently, shared that they were pretty excited about the opportunity. The Sex Education actress also mentioned that she felt 'separation anxiety" after White Lotus 3's shoot wrap-up. She said, 'Seven months all of us together, in the same place, and then I went back to England, and it was so lonely." However, the duo has had a lot of time to spend together recently. Patrick revealed that they worked together on a project in Los Angeles, followed by a shoot in New York. Then they even attended that MET Gala 2025 together, after which they jetted off to London for yet another project. He shared that he extended his stay in London to hang out with Aimee.
