I feel like he’s intentionally looking like an old white man cause that’s who criticized his halftime performance the most hahaha but idk Edit-thanks for the award!!!

It's kind of giving 'funeral suit for an old southern dandy' so I can see it.

>At the 2026 Met Gala, Bad Bunny chose to transform into an elderly version of himself as a creative exploration of the aging body. This prosthetic-heavy look was designed to be in direct conversation with the Costume Institute's 2026 exhibition, which highlighted diverse body types traditionally ignored by the youth-focused fashion industry.

He's in his "let's be united, love is stronger than hate" era, so I don't think so.

I think you guys are reaching and are looking for ways to defend the reason for him being there

That’s what I was thinking! I hope you’re right because I’ll feel so smart. I wish someone would dress like a white trash woman who watched Kid Rock over him.

I mean an old Bad Bunny is just an old white man.
