This is the outfit he wore to the Met Gala. I have to admit I love the look, in a vintage Dior Homme tuxedo by Hedi Slimane and a White dress shirt he looks amazing. I like how he topped it off with a heavy silver necklace, white nail polish, and burgundy high heel cowboy boots. He was an absolute show-stopper.
