At this year’s Met Gala, themed “Garden of Time,” Bad Bunny turned heads and sparked conversations with his avant-garde look from Maison Margiela. Known for his fearless fashion choices, the music superstar delivered yet another unforgettable ensemble that perfectly encapsulated the night’s motif.
Adorned in a seemingly unfinished Maison Margiela suit, Bad Bunny’s outfit played with the concept of time itself—unfinished yet timeless, much like a garden perennially in mid-blossom. The stark, chalk-like stitches against the dark fabric echoed the meticulous rows of a gardener’s planting, suggesting growth and evolution, while the suit’s raw hems and loose threads whispered tales of a process still unfolding, a masterpiece still emerging.
But what truly tied Bad Bunny’s look to the “Garden of Time” theme were the delicate black flowers adorning his ensemble, a nod to the enchanting yet thorny narrative of “Sleeping Beauty” and the mystical flax plant. These floral accents did more than just embellish; they spun a narrative of beauty born from darkness, of blooms that thrive at midnight, lending a gothic yet romantic allure to his modern-day troubadour persona.
With his signature boldness, Bad Bunny didn’t just wear an outfit; he wore a statement. Through the interplay of an undone suit and the dark florals, he captured the essence of the gala’s theme—highlighting the beauty in the unfinished, the strength in vulnerability and the perpetual cycle of decay and rebirth found in both nature and fashion.
This look stands out not only for its conceptual depth but for its audacity to redefine masculinity within the frames of high fashion. It’s a reminder that in the garden of time, every moment is a seed from which new possibilities sprout, and Bad Bunny, much like the blooms on his suit, continues to evolve, pushing boundaries and defying expectations in both music and fashion.
