'Didn’t do the homework': Internet trolls Hugh Jackman for recycling Met Gala tuxedo from first appearance with ex Deborra-Lee Furness

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Hugh Jackman surprised fans and fashion enthusiasts alike as he arrived at the 2024 Met Gala in New York City on Monday, 6 May, sporting a familiar ensemble, as per The Daily Mail.

The 55-year-old actor took to Instagram hours before the event to share a selfie donning a stylish black and white Tom Ford tuxedo, revealing that it was the same attire he wore to his first Met Gala in 2004 alongside his then-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.

"My original Tom Ford tuxedo. Refitted and repaired," he captioned the photo, before making his entrance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.

Despite the event's reputation for avant-garde fashion, Jackman opted for familiarity, pairing the tuxedo with matching dress shoes as he posed for photographers with a confident smile.

The actor's black hair was neatly styled, and he exuded his signature rugged charm and confidence while mingling with fellow celebrities.

The admission of wearing the same tuxedo from his previous Met Gala appearance coincided with Jackman's solo attendance at the prestigious event, following his separation from Furness in September of last year after 27 years of marriage.

The former couple had been regular attendees at the Met Gala, appearing together on multiple occasions from 2004 to 2023.

In the midst of his high-profile divorce, Jackman has reportedly found solace in the unwavering support of his adult children, Ava and Oscar.

According to sources close to the actor, he has been grappling with feelings of sadness following the end of his long-term relationship with Furness.

However, his children have emerged as pillars of strength during this challenging period, offering comfort and companionship when he needs it most.

Internet wastes no time in trolling Hugh Jackman for Met Gala fashion choice 

While Jackman's fashion choice may have held sentimental value, the internet was not as kind.

One X user remarked, "Wolverine didn’t do the homework," while another suggested, "Respectfully, Hugh, your Wolverine costume would have been more on-theme."

Another user criticized, "ffs you're going to the MET GALA this is the time for WEIRD and COLOR and FUN. And he picks a black suit and bow tie." [sic]

Meanwhile, one disappointed commenter wrote, "THIS is what you’re wearing to the Met Gala? Oof might as well not go."

Another expressed, "Very disappointed in the choice of outfit, unless there's a Wolverine suit hidden underneath somehow.... its the MET mate, that means go wild."

One user humorously speculated, "I guess he’s part of the staff this year."

Another humorously questioned, "What are you doing at the Met Gala? You’re supposed to be preaching at a Pentecostal church."

Lastly, a user criticized, "'lets go' and its the most boring plain simple ordinary average tuxedo." [sic]
