STYLISH MEN AT MET GALA 2016

Monday, May 09, 2016

The Met Gala is known as the annual Academy Awards of Fashion - and just like the red carpet at the Oscars, all the men in attendance know that only their very best best formal attire will do. However, unlike the Oscars, the ante is upped. Not only are you subject to the scrutiny of the entire fashion press (and probably on a table with designers and fashion icons), but the dress code is always themed to the exhibition being celebrated. This year the exhibition is all about the convergence of man and machine, titled Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology. And while some men took it a bit too literally (see: Zayn Malik's Terminator arms), the more wearable trend was a subtle use of metal-vibing, high shine material. From Luke Evans to Miles Teller, Tom Hiddleston to Idris Elba, take a look at the best-dressed met at the Met Gala 2016 below.

Zayn Malik actually transformed into a robot, wearing silver metal sleeves over his Versace black tie suit. He was so into it, he even coordinated with girlfriend Gigi Hadid who wore a silver, sequin bodysuit with sheer overlay.

Meanwhile, Nick Jonas honored the theme a bit more subtly. He wore a bespoke Topman double-breasted suit with blue jacket and black trousers, and as it turns out, he actually played a role in the design process: “I helped design this myself which I’m really excited [about],” he told reporters on the carpet. To jump on the tech-meets-fashion theme, he also sported a specially-designed lapel pin by British jeweler Husam El Odeh that was made with a microchip pattern and semi-precious stones.


Michael B. Jordan also followed Jonas’ lead with a subtle nod to the event — with a metallic gold-trimmed tux and studded loafers. While designer Jeremy Scott and singer Will.i.am went a wackier route with their outfits. Scott wore an embellished skeleton-studded suit (even down to his shoes) that coordinated with his Moschino ladies, while Will.i.am paired his floral-print tux with a completely-visored top hat that covered most of his face.

Idris Elba Met Gala 2016

British actor Idris Elba , who was co-chair at this year’s bash, made his mark on the red carpet in a sharp Tom Ford creation.

The Luther star, who also appeared to be flying solo for the event, was all smiles as he posed in the black tux and white bow tie.
