Bad Bunny’s looks are always the most wanted.

Over the years, the “EoO” singer’s style has evolved with bold and eye-catching red carpet. When he first broke out to the music scene, his style leaned more to streetwear, with designer logos and colorful patterns. However, his looks have transformed into a sleeker approach, opting for traditional suits paired with accessories like baseball caps and shades.

Bad Bunny has attended three Met Galas, and each year, he continues to pay homage to the theme with signature style. His debut appearance at the annual event was in 2022, paying homage to the dress code “Gilded Glamour.” He arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a Burberry gown with a tailored suit top and puffed sleeves. For the dramatic look, he accessorized with gold flowers in his hair updo and a lorgnette.

For 2023’s theme “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” Bad Bunny donned a custom, backless white suit by Jacquemus with a floor-length shawl adorned with white camellia flowers and a J emblem hanging down his back. His then-girlfriend Kendall Jenner also attended the event in a sequined bodysuit from Marc Jacobs, though the pair posed separately on the carpet.

Last year, Anna Wintour invited him to co-chair fashion’s biggest night alongside ZendayaJennifer Lopez and Chris Hemsworth for 2024’s theme “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” For his look, the “Tití Me Preguntó” singer arrived at the steps in an all black ensemble by Maison Margiela. He paired the pinstripe suit with black sunglasses, gloves, a black hat and a red stripe down his trousers. Playing into the dress code of “Garden of Time,” he paired the look with a bouquet of black flowers.

When it comes to the Met Gala, a jaw dropping look is all about preparation, and the 31-year-old agrees.

“You can’t really improvise for the Met,” he told Vogue in April 2024. “If I want to attend a different red carpet and decide to wear boxers last minute, I do it. I just do it.”

And finding a brand to partner with is all about connection. For him, he approaches fashion collaborations similar to the way he approaches his music, explaining it's based on "feeling identified with the brand or the designer or what they do."
