Overview
- Bad Bunny, who arrived Monday at the Met Gala, appeared nearly unrecognizable in prosthetic aging makeup with gray hair and a cane.
- The prosthetics were created by makeup artist Mike Marino with hyper-real detail that extended to his face, neck and hands.
- He framed the appearance as an interpretation of the Costume Institute exhibition’s focus on the ageing body and joked it took “53 years” to get ready.
- He wore a custom all-black tuxedo designed with Zara, finishing it with an oversized bow that nods to Charles James’s 1947 Bustle gown.
- Fans and outlets praised the performance-style reveal as one of the night’s boldest moments, citing the realism and his in-character red carpet walk.
