At the Met Gala 2025, Bad Bunny Wears Prada a lo Criollo
While the Puerto Rican superstar was a co-host at last year's Met Gala, this year, he gets to just enjoy himself. 'It's nice because you don't have to be the first to arrive,' he says. 'Last year I greeted literally everybody but I still had fun you know, because I got to see what everybody was wearing and I got to critique all the looks.' Although he's been to the event many times before, he's open to seeing where the night takes him. 'I always enjoy myself. One year I saw Pedro Pascal, it was the first time we met, but if he's there tonight then that's going to be super cool. Last year Rosalía was at my table and it was nice…So it really depends.'
Perfume is a recurring theme in Bad Bunny songs—there's a song literally called 'PERFuMITO NUEVO' on the record, and on another track he sings that he smells good. So I have to ask, what scent will he be wearing tonight? 'I love perfumes that have unusual scents. Sometimes people have told me they don't like how I smell because they're so uncommon. But I love them. I brought five bottles of different scents on this trip to New York,' he said, adding: 'My favourite way to create memories is through songs and through scent, so I love to wear a perfume when I go on a trip, and then I put it away so that later, I can grab the bottle and go on a trip.'
But what perfume will he actually wear tonight? 'I don't know what I'm going to wear, but now that you're putting pressure on me I kind of want to go out and pick a new one up just to wear at the Met.' If anyone catches a whiff of Bad Bunny tonight, please report back.
