Lil Nas X Arrives Covered in Crystals on the Met Gala 2023 Red Carpet
The “Industry Baby” hitmaker wore nothing but a thong and platform booties when he strutted his stuff on the Met museum steps Monday night.
The 24-year-old rapper was covered in silver body paint and sparkly rhinestones, along with exquisite pearl detailing around his neck and face to transform into a glamorous cat.
His silver thong — which exposed his entire behind — was accessorized with a belt made out of pearls.
He looked unrecognizable with silver, pearls and diamantés covering his lips, revealing nothing but his heavily lined eyes.
The jaw-dropping look was designed by legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath, who placed a whopping 5,000 stones and 218,784 round flatback Swarovski crystals on the star over the course of more than 10 hours before the big event, according to a press release from Swarovski and her representative.
