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 look paid homage to the iconic queer artist known for his homoerotic art.
As of midday, several other celebrities also embraced leather fashion, including Nicholas Hoult and Damson Idris. The theme invited guests to focus on the human silhouette as a canvas.
Currently, Luke Evans is portraying Dr. Frank-N-Furter in a revival of The Rocky Horror Show. He expressed excitement about this 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 Costume Art exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art opens to the public on May 10, 2026. Observers are eager to see how this year’s gala will influence future trends in fashion and art.
