This is how you do it, gentlemen!
While all eyes may have been on Hollywood fashionistas like Kim Kardashian and Vanessa Hudgens, Maluma proved once again that guys deserve a second look at the 2023 Met Gala.
After arriving at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 1, the 29-year-old showcased a tattooed arms in a sleeveless gray top and matching trousers from BOSS. He completed his ensemble with a white scarf and dark sunglasses. (See every star on the red carpet here.)
Titled "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," the theme of this year's white-tie affair pays tribute to late fashion designer, who died in 2019 at the age of 85. Per Vogue, guests have been asked to dress "in honor of Karl" to celebrate the many labels he worked for, including his eponymous brand, Balmain, Fendi and Chanel.
It should come as no surprise that Maluma came dressed to impress for his third Met Gala appearance. In addition to having his own fashion line at Macys, the Grammy winner has been open about his love and appreciation for clothes.
Maluma was the first reggaeton artist to attend the Met Gala when he made his debut in 2019. At the time, he rocked a Moschino tuxedo by Jeremy Scott.
"It was fun," he recalled to E! News of the night. "It was great."
And in 2021, the Marry Me star joined Donatella Versace for the gala and praised the designer as "the greatest."
"I feel grateful to be here again, you know, after the pandemic and everything that happened," he shared with E! News on the red carpet. "I feel like this comeback is powerful, and I feel great to be here again."
For the occasion, Maluma wore a red-hot Versace outfit and a very meaningful bejeweled glove by ASLAN.
"We have this glove that says 'Papi Juancho.' That is the name of my album," he raved. "Then we have 'Maluma' over here, some stars. You know, it's like full of dreams. It's a handful of dreams."
