On Monday, the frenzy over the Met Gala reached new heights with the amount of star power that hit the famed Met steps in support of the museum’s newest exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”, which opens on May 10 and runs until September 2, 2024. In attendance amongst fashion’s glitterati was Rauw Alejandro, as the Puerto Rican music hitmaker was ready to hit up his first-ever Met Gala in serious style. Enlisting the help of Ludovic de Saint Sernin, the Parisian eponymous label that was founded back in 2017, the designer created a custom Swarovski-embellished look for the singer and rapper, paired with a jaw-dropping Jacob & Co timepiece.
Below, discover Rauw’s getting-ready diary as he gave VMAN an intimate look at his Met Gala prep.
