The Most Handsome Men at the Met Gala 2026

Article (news)

<p>This year, the men of the <strong>Met Gala</strong> showcased impeccably artful grooming and intentional hairstyles. Rather than simply donning a classic suit and slicking back their hair, they became walking embodiments of art—unexpected and full of surprises. Who says avant-garde fashion and beauty are restrictive for menswear? The Met Gala proved otherwise! With their statuesque, Greek-god-like physiques serving as the ultimate canvas for clean, elevated grooming, the Metropolitan Museum of Art practically became Mount Olympus, hosting a pantheon of gorgeous, powerfully masculine men who didn&#x27;t shy away from makeup. Here are the headturning men who perfectly embodied “Costume Art” and brought the elements to life with their sharp visuals:</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Connor Storrie</strong></div><p>Making his Met Gala debut, Connor’s physique was the highlight of his look. He is built like a statue! Complemented by his curls and a subtle approach to makeup, he truly resembled a handsome warrior straight out of a fairy tale!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777937258530Connor - Getty.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @gettyentertainment</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Hudson Williams</strong></div><p>We are absolutely stunned by Hudson’s Met Gala look! His makeup was inspired by the movie &quot;Black Swan,&quot; embedding cinematic components in his look and strikingly departing from his usual aesthetic. He traded his signature clean, barefaced glow for an artful, high-fashion vibe. His contrasting, pointed eye makeup makes his face the focal point of his entire ensemble.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777939114949Hudson.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @mtv</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Kun</strong></div><p>Kun delivered a true spectacle at the Met Gala. His hair reflected a distinct creative direction, styled in a sleek half-part with trailing lengths. We also love how his glam team played with the finer details of his eyes, utilizing contrasting red and blue contacts anchored by a definitive bottom tightline.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777946061738Kun.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @mtv</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Ahn Hyo Seop</strong></div><p>Ahn Hyo Seop exuded Korean charm at the beige carpet, sporting an <em>oppa</em>-esque grooming style characterized by mid-parted hair and striking porcelain skin as his main assets.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777946086161Hyeoseop.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @mtv</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Sombr</strong></div><p>Fully embracing the theme, Sombr channeled a Renaissance warrior, balancing the historical aesthetic with touches of soft, modern glam. His radiant brown complexion was a major standout, beautifully highlighted by his ensemble.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777946162569Sombr.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @justjared</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Raul Alejandro</strong></div><p>We are in awe of his grooming at tonight’s biggest fashion event. Raul looked effortlessly handsome, contrasting a clean-cut style with an edgy, stylish nose bandage that served as the perfect finishing touch.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777946184965Raul.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @mtv</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Tyriq Withers</strong></div><p>Taking a distinctly masculine approach to the theme, Tyriq stole hearts with his sculpted physique, perfectly highlighted by the sharp silhouette of his tuxedo. The striking look was completed by his chiseled jawline and tantalizing blue eyes.</p><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777946207869Tyriq.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @mtv</span></span></span></div><div><strong>Colman Domingo</strong></div><p>The renowned actor and playwright appeared on the Met Gala carpet in a colorful ensemble, paired with just a touch of pastel blue eyeshadow at the corners of his eyes.
