Grammy Award-winning singer Bad Bunny went through the time machine for the Met Gala 2026. The 32-year-old artist arrived at the event as an old man, complete with a walking cane, white hair and hyper-realistic face and hand make-up, reported Variety. According to the outlet, the look is an apparent nod to the Met’s ‘Costume Art’ theme, which explores the interpretation and function of fashion on aging, pregnant and differently abled bodies. Bad Bunny was not the only star to undergo a complete transformation for the Met Gala. Model and TV host Heidi Klum transformed herself into a marble statue, inspired by classical works such as the “Veiled Christ” by Giuseppe Sammartino and the “Veiled Vestal” by Raffaele Monti, reported Variety. It was a literal interpretation of this year’s Met Gala theme, “Fashion is Art,” crafted by designer Mike Marino. Other stars making splashes with their looks include Emma Chamberlain, SZA, Serena Williams, Doechii, Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Sarah Paulson and Anne Hathaway. According to Variety, Beyonce is co-chair of this year’s Met Gala, along with Nicole KidmanVenue Williams and Anna Wintour. Curated by Andrew Bolton, ‘Costume Art’ examines “the centrality of the dressed body, juxtaposing objects from across the museum’s vast collection with historical and contemporary garments from the Institute,” according to the Met.
