VIDEO: Lil Nas X Wore Nothing But Glitter and Pearls to the Met Gala 2023; Photos
Leave it to Lil Nas X to get jaws dropping at the 2023 Met Gala. The musician made his big entrance wearing a truly opulent look that absolutely dripped in luxury, considering it was comprised entirely of glitter and pearls.
The rapper was absolutely sparkling while covered head-to-toe in what appears to be shimmering silver body paint accented with gemstones and a plethora of pearls.

He appeared to be shirtless and wearing a thong bottom, with the rest of his body, including his fingers and even his lips, coated in crystals.
There’s a lot to talk about here, so let’s start with the mask. Nas’s face was completely bedecked in rhinestones; the sparkly stones started at his forehead, dripped down his nose and across his cheekbones, and even coated his lips.

Atop the rhinestones were pearls in various sizes scattered across his face, plus a set of what appeared to be beaded whiskers — perhaps an allusion to Karl Lagerfeld’s beloved cat Choupette? The musician also wore a bold circling of dark black eyeliner to make his brown eyes shine from behind that glittering mask.
