When it comes to fashion few musicians can see A$AP Rocky on his worst day. His Met Gala fit was a direct nod to late great Karl Lagerfield.
As spotted on High Snobiety the Harlem, New York MC stole the show at this year’s festivities. Accompanied by his girlfriend Rihanna, he pulled up in an ensemble directly inspired by the influential designer. On Monday, May 1 Pretty Flaco wore a white button up shirt with buttoned collars, skinny tie, black blazer, custom denim pants with bedazzled designs and a plaid skirt wrapped over the jeans. On feet we got black leather boots with silver detailing on the toe box. To make the cipher complete he stacked three Gucci belts around his waist and a brooch on the front left chest pocket.
This look was a nod to the outfit Karl Lagerfeld wore at the Chanel 2005 Spring Summer fashion show in December 2004. The dress code for this year’s affair was “In Honor Of Karl” due to his passing in 2019. Born in Germany in 1933, Karl’s fingerprints can be seen all throughout the fashion industry. For many years he oversaw the ready to wear collections at Fendi. He also lead creative on the Chanel line and is even credited for creating the brand’s iconic “CC” logo in the 1980’s.
The Met Gala is an annual fundraising event that benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. It is widely regarded as “fashion’s biggest night”.

Not much can make Diddy lose his cool, except when he gets pressed about his status with Yung Miami.
You would think Diddy was sweating bullets under his custom all-black Sean John couture fit cause it was definitely on the heavy side, and it looked pretty hot as hell underneath that custom trench. But, a question from La La Anthony brought some rare sweat out of Sean Combs.
Diddy surprised everyone when he showed up on the 2023 Met Gala carpet holding hands with none other than Yung Miami. It was a shocker because recently, the rapper/budding podcaster said in a recent interview she is single and that she and Diddy are no longer an item giving the impression they were no longer doing couple-ish things together.
Resurrecting her MTV TRL days, La La Anthony asked the million-dollar question, “Do y’all officially go together real bad?”
As expected, brother Love broke out in a mean sweat as he Diddy-bopped around the question with a word salad of an answer, seemingly confirming they still mess around but are “best friends.:
“We definitely go together real bad!” he told La La. “She’s my date for the night. … We don’t put titles on it. Everybody wants us to put a title on it. We don’t put titles. This like my best friend in the world, one of the most beautiful people God has blessed me with. And I’m blessed that she’s my date tonight.”
“Yeah, it’s just a good date night,” Yung Miami added.
Diddy & Yung Miami Bounced Early
Diddy and Yung Miami’s Met Gala date night didn’t last too long because “best friends” left early because “he didn’t like his seat behind a pole at dinner,” according to Entertainment Tonight.”
Yung Miami did step out for some after-party shenanigans, specifically Diddy’s Met Gala after party where sure Mr. Combs was not too far behind and date night continued.
In the gallery below, you can see more reactions to Diddy explaining his relationship status with Yung Miami.

The annual Met Gala went down in New York City on Monday (May 1) and the fits did not disappoint. Actually, many of the Hip-Hop representing attendees understood the assignment, while some need to question the motivations of their stylists.
Touted as fashion’s biggest night, the 2023 edition of the Met Gala—officially known as the Costume Institute Benefit—served as a tribute to the late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld. Held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art red carpet was littered celebs and would be style legends getting their best fits off.
Some, like Dwyane Wade, Rihanna (and her boyfriend/baby daddy A$AP Rocky) and Bad Bunny succeeded, others…well…they don’t give out participation trophies.
Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky got his fit off, but why’d he have to do this?
The culture was in there deep with Cardi B, Ice Spice, Lizzo and more hitting the red carpet. Also worth noting, Rih Rih and Pretty Flacko were so late the carpet was actually finished, but an exception was made. Check out the best, and worst, fits of the night that were rocked by some of your Hip-Hop representing (and adjacent) attendees in the building.
