By now, we should be used to Bad Bunny’s surprises, but seeing him in a Bridgerton-style headpiece on the Met Gala red carpet made us love him even more.
The world’s most important fashion event rolled out the red carpet for Latino talent. From Eiza Gonzalez to Benito, everyone ravished the spotlight.

The young climate activist surprised us all with her authenticity. Bastida proudly wore her indigenous Mexican Otomi-Toltec identity through traditional handcrafted jewelry pieces.
Anitta
The favorite of Spotify and our hearts, Anitta stole the show in her purple Moschino dress.
Camila Cabello
Though it reminded many of some sort of cake shop, the “Bam Bam” singer wore a white Prabal Gurung two-piece gown. As Glamour explained, the floral details on the skirt are hand-painted and took over a month to complete.
