Bad Bunny’s Red Carpet Style: From The Grammys To The Met Gala

As one of music’s most influential artists, it’s no surprise that Bad Bunny’s red carpet style has almost as much of an impact as his chart-topping hits. The Puerto Rican rapper, whose album Un Verano Sin Ti made history at the 2023 Grammys as the first Spanish-language album nominated in the “Album of the Year” category, is always one to push the boundaries of fashion. Especially when it comes to the traditionally bland subject of menswear.

Bunny isn’t afraid to take risks stylistically whether that means exposing his back on the Met steps, slipping on some acrylic nails, or donning some sort of expertly coiffed hair. The rapper has championed Latinx designers like Willy Chavarria, independent labels like Jacquemus, and even top brands like Burberry and Gucci. But what remains constant throughout his personal style is a sense of unpredictability. The rapper is just as likely to show up somewhere in a bespoke tailored suit as he is a ’90s-style dress complete with major power shoulders—and that what makes him so exciting to watch. Now, as he gears up to co-chair this year’s Met Gala, look back at all of Bad Bunny’s best red carpet moments, here.
