Luke Evans wore an all-leather outfit inspired by Tom of Finland at the Met Gala 2026, held on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The dress code for this year’s gala was ‘Fashion is Art.’
Evans’ striking ensemble featured a studded leather jacket, matching flared trousers, gloves, a hat, and a leather tie. This bold choice reflects his appreciation for homoerotic art and leather fashion.
Currently, Luke Evans is portraying Dr. Frank-N-Furter in a revival of The Rocky Horror Show. He expressed excitement about his role, stating, “If you come from theater, you know everyone’s dream really is to do Broadway at least once. I finally got my moment in the most insane role I could ever imagine doing!”
The Met Gala also showcased several other celebrities embracing leather outfits, including Nicholas Hoult and Damson Idris. This highlights a growing trend within the fashion community.
The Costume Art exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art opens to the public on May 10, 2026. This event will further explore artistic expressions through fashion.
