IT’S FANFARE for the sake of it with a side of philanthropy, but the annual Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has become the fashion’s biggest moment of the year. It also serves as a cultural barometer for knowing who, to borrow from Zoolander, is “so hot right now” in fashion and celebrity.

It’s all a bit frivolous, yes. And we’re very aware that there are other things happening in the world right now – which is something that seems more relevant than ever given that this year’s event is being patronised by one of the world’s richest men, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez.

But lets put politics aside for now. The red carpet arrivals are underway, and this year’s Fashion is Art dress code is providing plenty of interesting interpretations. Without further ado, here are all the best menswear looks walking the carpeted steps right now. This is an evolving story so check back in as more guests (and viral moments) filter in.
