No flag on the play here — Odell Beckham Jr.’s Met Gala look was a total triumph.
Beckham Jr., 31, arrived in a suave black suit with white detailing at the Monday, May 6 event at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The football star’s ensemble featured intricate flower embroidery and a diamond broach to complete the look.
The theme of this year’s Met Gala — chaired by Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, Anna Wintour and Zendaya — is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” with a “Garden of Time” dress code. Inside the event, Beckham Jr. will likely see Kim Kardashian. The twosome recently ended their fling, with a source telling Us: “It was never serious between Kim and Odell, but they are taking a pause on seeing each other.”
According to Vogue, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibit, which is committed with the annual gala, will feature garments from over 100 years ago, acting as a “garden of time.”
Pieces from designers Elsa Schiaparelli, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy and others will be included in the exhibit, which will be available for the public to see on Friday, May 10.
Beckham Jr. — who signed a deal with the Miami Dolphins on Monday, May 6 for the upcoming NFL season — has long expressed his love of fashion with memorable red carpet looks, including multiple prior appearances at the Met Gala.
In 2019, the Super Bowl champion arrived at the Gala in a Thom Browne sleeveless vest and a pleated kilt. The sleeveless look was a milestone, as a Thom Browne employee told GQ at the time, “We’ve never cut the sleeves off for anyone before.”
Beckham Jr. was iced out to the max when he hit the Met Gala in 2022 in a green velvet ensemble, but it was his bling that stole the show.
The former New York Giant wore a custom Gabriel the Jeweler diamond chain around his neck worth $650k.
After the event, the famed jeweler revealed it was made of 300 carats of round diamonds, 200 carats of emerald-cut diamonds and 2.5 kilos of gold.
