The Most Memorable Met Gala Menswear Looks of All Time

That year's exhibit: "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations"

To honor two designers who didn't/don't play by fashion's rules in their respective bodies of works, Jacobs threw on a Comme des Garçons lace polo dress, some boxer shorts (thoughtful), and pilgrim shoes which we're sure was...comfortable.

We're fairly certain that this is the first time exposed upper man thigh hit the Met Gala red carpet. But we know for sure that this Balmain denim jacket is the most labor-intensive and, probably, expensive one ever made.

Kanye West, 2016

That year's exhibit: "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy"

When you're New York City's dopest designer to come along in a decade, you kind of have carte blanche to wear whatever you want to the Met Gala, which for wang meant ripped jeans and slip-on kicks (heroic, indeed).

Alexander Wang, 2008

That year's exhibit: "The House of Chanel"

First let it soak in that Manson has attended not one, but two Costume Institute Galas. Then take in the dark, brooding military vibes (anchored by a serious pair of Frankenstein boots) that made up his 2005 ensemble. It's Marc Jacobs, in case you're wondering.

Marilyn Manson, 2005

That year's exhibit: "Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century"

We're pretty sure that year's dress code didn't call for "Best Going Out Outfit." But Hugo's fat tie and leather jacket combo was a dangerous liaison, so maybe they weren't too far off the mark.

That year's exhibit: "AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion"

In 2006, the gala celebrated the "Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion" and, naturally, the reigning king of transgressive fashion wore the most traditional outfit he could, in Clan Macqueen tartan to boot.

Alexander McQueen, 2006

That year's exhibit: Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy

This look is peak Benjamin Bixby-era André, which is to say it's somehow elegant and unconventional at the same time.

André 3000, 2008

That year's exhibit: "Haute Couture"

Sequin. Formal. Pants.

Elton John, 1995

That year's exhibit: "Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology"

Not other men's look in recent Met Gala history has caused as much simultaneous Internet combustion as when Malik stepped on to the museum's steps in these Versace metal armor/robot arms. If you think it's brilliant or you hate it, you have to give Malik for playing it anything-but safe this year.

Zayn Malik, 2016

That year's exhibit: "Charles James: Beyond Fashion"

It's those finishing touches that just make the difference, like a well-placed tie bar, the right watch, or, in Bolle's case, a bejeweled Dolce & Gabbana gauntlet glove.

Roberto Bolle, 2014

That year's exhibit: "Punk: Chaos to Couture"

Never forget that Psy was once a guest at the most esteemed and exclusive fashion and cultural event in existence. Then again, having a one-hit K-pop star attend over hoards of desperate actors is pretty damn punk if you think about it.

Psy, 2013

That year's exhibit: "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçon"

How you take make a classic tux a hell of a lot more interesting? Put a turtleneck underneath, pile the contents of an entire diamond mine on top and finish the look off with a pair of next-level shades.

Migos, 2017

That year's exhibit: "Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century"

We're never not in awe of Mr. Talley's ability to convincingly pull off a flowing cape, a drapey caftan, an emperor-level coat, or some amalgam of all three. We can all learn a thing or two about owning the shit out of our wardrobes like Talley does.

Andre Leon Talley, 2004

That year's exhibit: "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty"

The MJ masterminds—Jacobs, the deigner; Duffy, the businessman—did their part to pay homage to McQueen's genius (and his own Met Gala fit just a few years earlier). And if people didn't pick up on that, well, these are still two menswear mullet looks (business up top, party down below) that we appreciate.

Marc Jacobs and Robert Duffy, 2011

That year's exhibit: "Cubism and Fashion"

It takes a brave man to wear a space-age mylar-esque suit to the Met Gala. It takes a man with a serious commitment to giving zero fucks to wear it with sneakers.

Alan Cumming, 1998

That year's exhibit: "Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology"

Hardly surprising, but still worth mentioning because in 2016, Will.i.am found a way to out Will.i.am himself with this hat/visor/post-cataract-surgery sunglass situation.

Will.i.am, 2016

That year's exhibit: "AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion"

Here's a list of what Mr. Galliano is rocking in this photo: A fedora. A perm. A skull-and-crossbones necklace. No shirt. A lace-embroidered robe coat. A polka dot velvet vest. Sequined jeans. Exotic skin cowboy boots. And most importantly: the supreme confidence to wear it all as if the look were a T-shirt and jeans. The Met Gala is all about taking a risk and this might be the riskiest fit to ever hit the red carpet.

John Galliano, 2006

That year's exhibit: "Goddess: The Classical Mode "

It's one thing to play around with a pinstripe suit, it's definitely something else entirely when you use dining room curtains to create a pinstripe suit.

Gerard Butler, 2003

That year's exhibit: "Charles James: Beyond Fashion"

Tweedledee and Tweedlede-hmm, both in Thom Browne.

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, 2014

That year's exhibit: "Rock Style"

Just a reminder that Steven Seagal was not only once invited to the Met Gala, but that he attended in the most (only?) Steven Seagal fit ever.

Steven Seagal, 1999

That year's exhibit: " China: Through the Looking Glass"

Nailing a strict white-tie dress code and dressing up like a Disney prince are, in fact, two different things. That said, you have to give Wade credit for out-broaching everyone on the red carpet this year.

Dwyane Wade, 2015

That year's exhibit: "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty"

When is a button not just a button? When it's a massive crystal-encrusted christmas tree ornament masquerading as a button.

Mick Jagger, 2011

That year's exhibit: "China: Through the Looking Glass"

We don't expect Bieber to adhere to the rules all any of time, which is why this dragon-embroidered Balmain jacket stands out, even if it was a little too on-the-nose for that year's theme.

Justin Bieber, 2015

That year's exhibit: American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity

If there were ever a man alive who could not only get away with jeans on the Met Gala red carpet but make said jeans actually look...elegant, that man's name is Ralph Lauren.

Ralph Lauren, 2010

That year's exhibit: "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçon"

There is only one man alive with enough swagger to pull off this look and his name is Diddy. You want avant garde black tie? Diddy will give you avant garde black tie.

Diddy, 2017

That year's exhibit: "Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century"

Fallon's chocolate brown shirt and slightly-flared pants might not seem like an epic swerve, but in 2004 this was about as wavy as black tie menswear got.

Jimmy Fallon, 2004

That year's exhibit: "Punk: Chaos to Couture"

The challenge to bring punk and formal wear together in 2013 wasn't an easy one for attendees, but at least Quinto played it smart: no sleeves and one blue pseudo-mohawk.

Zachary Quinto, 2013

That year's exhibit: “Poiret: King of Fashion”

It's one thing to wear cowboy boots with a suit. It's quite another to tuck your pants into said cowboy boots. But the Razorlight frontman did just that back in '07 and, most importantly, had the DGAF conviction to pull it off.

Johnny Borrell, 2007

That year's exhibit: " China: Through the Looking Glass"

That Larry David got an invite to the fashion-heavy ultra exclusive Met Gala is in itself is funny. That the comedian turned up looking this damn sharp is impressive.

Larry David, 2015

That year's exhibit: "Punk: Chaos to Couture"

Jacobs is no stranger to epic Met Gala fits (this is third rig to be featured in this slideshow) and in 2013, the über talented designer and ultimate fan of fashion turned up in the dottiest suit to ever ascend the museum's red-carpeted steps.

Marc Jacobs, 2013

That year's exhibit: "AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion"

This is precisely how we want Johnny Rotten himself to turn up to a fancy gala celebrating Brit style. It's a rare time when expectation actually meets reality, here in all it's clashing patterned glory

John Lydon, 2006
