The stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art dressed up this Monday to celebrate the Met Gala 2026, an event that this year embraced the slogan “Fashion Is Art”.
In an edition marked by the exploration of the body as canvas and fashion as sculpture, the Latin presence, although more selected than in previous years, managed to monopolize all the flashes, with Rauw Alejandro and Maluma at the head.
The Puerto Rican performer reaffirmed his status as a global fashion icon. Following the aesthetic line that had already appeared at the Grammys, Rauw Alejandro opted for a design by Yves Saint Laurent that challenged masculine conventions.
According to Vogue, her look stood out for playing with proportions and textures, perfectly integrating the concept of “sculptural fashion” required. or this year's dress code. His proposal was an ode to the avant-garde, consolidating him as the most risky Latin attending of the night.
For his part, Maluma returned to demonstrate why he's a recurring guest of Anna Wintour. The Colombian balanced classic sophistication with contemporary artistic touches, presenting a Tom Ford suit and Bvlgari jewelry that highlighted the craftsmanship and the meticulous detail.
Her presence injected the necessary charisma to a red carpet that maintained the standard of couture that defines the event.
On the red carpet the presence of Bad Bunny also stood out. The Puerto Rican singer opted for a totally black look, but what caught the most attention was his transformation: he used makeup and wig to simulate an aged appearance.
In a gala co-chaired by figures like Beyoncé and Nicole Kidman, Latinos not only attended, but gave a lecture on how to interpret art through costumes.
