Dwayne Johnson's Met Gala skirt look
Johnson officially made his debut at the Met Gala and made sure all eyes were on him with a bold custom look by Thom Browne. The 'Moana' actor arrived at fashion’s biggest night dressed in an all-black outfit that featured a mohair tailcoat, a crisp white vest and a pleated skirt layered over matching trousers.
He was joined on the red carpet by his wife, Lauren Hashian, who stunned in a white halter-neck gown from the designer. While speaking to reporters about his outfit, Johnson shared that the skirt detail was inspired by his Polynesian roots and traditional cultural fashion.
“I feel great!” he replied. “First, (Thom Browne’s team) sent the illustrations over and [asked], ‘Hey, is DJ going to be cool with this pleated skirt?’ And I was like, ‘Look, in our culture, Polynesian culture, we rock lavalavas, we rock skirts.’ The most masculine men, not that I’m one of them, but the most masculine men wear lavalavas and skirts.”
