‘Bad Bunny’ Turns 50, Heidi Klum’s Marble Face and Other Wild Met Gala Looks

Bad Bunny showed up at the Met Gala wearing prosthetics and a cane, looking like he had aged 50 years.

Bad Bunny showed up at the 2026 Met Gala looking like he’d aged 50 years overnight, with a head full of gray hair, a cane, and elaborate prosthetic makeup that you’d swear he was actually an older man.

The transformation is so convincing that people are genuinely confused whether, beneath all the makeup and latex, it’s really him.

He is not only expressing fashion; The entire look was a direct response to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “The Art of Costume” exhibition, which explored how fashion works on different types of bodies, including aging ones.

Curated by Andrew Bolton and running until January 2027, the exhibition explores the relationship between clothing and the human form at different life stages and physical conditions.

He paired the period makeup with classic old man accessories, including a watch and iconic cane, to create a complete character, not just a costume.

Bad Bunny isn’t the only artist pushing boundaries at this year’s gala.

The Met Gala remains a space for artists to reinterpret fashion into wearable art, with everyone from Beyoncé to SZA bringing their own creative vision to the red carpet.

Heidi Klum transformed herself into a marble statue inspired by classical sculpture, while other attendees were equally bold in practicing the “fashion as art” dress code.

Beyoncé joins Nicole Kidman, Venue Williams and Anna Wintour as co-chair of this year’s gala, which raises funds for the Costume Institute.
