3 Jared Leto Met Gala looks that are all about the "shock-and-awe"

1) Gucci suit (2018)

At the 2018 Met Gala, Jared wore a gray-blue Gucci suit with wide lapels that had jeweled cat designs. He completed the look with a delicately embroidered shawl and an opulent gold crown. While this outfit wasn't the most dramatic that he has worn to the red carpet over the years, it still created quite a buzz.

The outfit, combined with his shaggy beard and long hair, made onlookers feel that he was channeling Jesus Christ. Given that the theme of the 2018 Met Gala was "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” Leto definitely understood the assignment. Many fans on social media praised his look and for sticking to the theme.

2) Red Gucci gown (2019)

The daring actor arrived at the 2019 Met Gala wearing a floor-length sleeve silk red gown, which had diamond detail along the bodice. Instead of the gown, the main attraction was the decapitated head that he carried around like a clutch. What makes it extra dramatic is that the head was an exact wax-like replica of Jared Leto himself.

With so much happening on the iconic Met steps, it is easy to get lost in the crowd, but Leto proved that carrying around a clutch in the shape of a decapitated head definitely made people take notice.

Although it was Jared Leto who made the head clutch the center of attention at the Met Gala, the main visionary behind the concept is Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele.

The head clutches had first debuted during Milan Fashion Week in February 2019.

3) Cream Gucci suit (2022)

At the 2022 Met Gala, there were quite a few Jared Leto lookalikes, which led to a lot of confusion. First, there was Fredrik Robertsson who arrived on the red carpet wearing a bird-like outfit made up of several thorny strands spreading from his body. As Fredrik looked a lot like Leto in the outfit, many assumed it was him but soon discovered that were mistaken.

The likeness was so remarkable that many photos of Fredrik circulated under Jared Leto's name.

When the real Leto appeared on the red carpet, he seemed to be twinning with Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele. Both wore matching cream suits with a muted floral print and black lapels.

Matching maroon bags and red bowties added to the look. Not only that, but they had the same hairdo and even matched beards. At first glance, it would be difficult to tell one from the other.
