Beyond The Boring Ass Black Suit: Lil Nas X Served Silver Nalgas And Pedro Pascal Gave Us Leg At The Met Gala

Since the Met Gala’s theme this year was a tribute to Kunty Karl, who was the overlord of Chanel for decades, there were more pearl necklaces than a bukkake convention and enough lace to pull David’s Bridal out of bankruptcy. There was also a sea of basic black suits since many dudes just rolled out of bed and into a boring ensemble their assistant picked up for them the day before at Brooks Brothers. But not every dude showed up dressed like they were going to a funeral (which was fitting since the real star of the Met Gala was born and died last night).

Billy Porter is usually the Maestro of Over-The-Top Fashun Foolery at the Met Gala, but he sat out this year. But luckily, Lil Nas X grabbed Billy’s sparkly baton and moistened tips by doing himself up like Liberace’s answer to the Tin Man. And Pedro Pascal also gave everyone a case of the tingles by simply showing off his slutty daddy legs.

Lil Nas X’s opulent “Silver Surfer if the Silver Surfer got rich from the lottery” look was put together by Dior and makeup icon Pat McGrath. It took me a second (and Lil Nas meowing) to realize that he was dressed like an ultra-fancy pussy, which I guess was his tribute to the ultimate fancy pussy, Choupette Lagerfeld. So if Choupette Lagerfeld met and fell in love with a chandelier and got pregnant, her baby would look like Lil Nas X last night. And like Doja Cat, Lil Nas did his interview in meow talk. That’s cute, but I’m sure Choupette was highly offended since she mèows in French!

Pedro Pascal showed up in Valentino and wasn’t on theme, but he made up for it by bringing out his furry gams. While wearing what a Dick Tracy villain wears to the beach, Pedro made tricks prolapse with his shorts and bare leg game. And here’s Pedro blowing out an air kiss as breath of fresh pink air Viola Davis glides in:

Here are more dudes who didn’t wear a boring black suit last night, including Jeremy Pope, whose shoulders are probably sore today from dragging a gigantic Balmain-designed Kunty Karl kape up the Met stairs last night. And yes, that cape just called all of us fat and ugly.
