2. Let’s hear it for the boys

We have long been accustomed to seeing men in a perfectly lovely well-cut tuxedo be reduced to little more than an accessory at the Met Gala. That was until last night when the men of fashion, film and music dug their heels in hard for this year’s theme (well, everyone except for Kanye). Of course there are those male attendees who are more familiar with camp than others: Harry Styles and his perfect pearl earring, Jared Leto and his second head, Billy Porter’s phenomenal gold wings, Hamish Bowles purple feathered cape and Ezra Miller’s painted face.

However, those men who we have come to know for more classic fashion takes stepped outside the box and it was a wonderful display of style and expression. We are looking at you Cole Sprouse, Henry Golding, Shawn Mendes, Benedict Cumberbatch and a personal favourite, Frank Ocean, who wore a Prada nylon zip up jacket looking more like a bouncer than an attendee.
