These guys understood the assignment!
The annual Met Gala finally took place this year, and although so many people served so many different kinds of looks in keeping with the theme of "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion," there were, unfortunately, some folks (*cough* men) who decided to attend the exclusive AF event wearing a basic black tuxedo or suit.
We get it, there's nothing wrong with the classics, right? It's just that, considering the Met Gala is often dubbed "fashion's biggest night," you'd think you'd want to show up and show off, right? Welp, that just wasn't the case for some guys... Fortunately, though, some of our favorite celebrity men took it upon themselves to go above and beyond the bare minimum and blessed the Met Gala red carpet in outfits worthy of the night!
Scroll through to see men who ditched the boring tuxes for something more colorful and fun at the 2021 Met Gala!
