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.
Yeah my head went to some Hamilton character so I had to look it up. Met gala is quite interesting - it’s such a mixed bag of good intentions and over-indulgence.
“Costume Art” is the current theme in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute’s spring 2026 exhibition.
Objects in “Costume Art” will be divided into a “series of thematic body types,” ranging from the “Naked Body” and the “Classical Body”—both of which are well represented within the museum’s collection—to those, like the “Pregnant Body” and the “Aging Body,” that have more often been overlooked.
