Rapper Lil Nas X wears only a G-string to 2023 Met Gala (photos)

The 2023 Met Gala witnessed a bold fashion statement as American rapper Lil Nas X appeared on the red carpet wearing a dazzling crystallized cat outfit by Pat McGrath and Dior Men. The 24-year-old artist turned heads with his ensemble, which consisted of glitter, crystals, and pearls, with only a G-string and metallic paint preserving his modesty.

Even more eye-catching was the elaborate bedazzling on his face, complete with sparkly stones and a set of beaded whiskers around his lips. According to Entertainment Tonight, Lil Nas X stayed true to his feline persona by playfully expressing “meow” as he strutted down the red carpet.
