This year’s Met Gala may not have delivered too many clear hits, but a few looks stood out. One of the most talked about moments came from Dwayne Johnson, who wore a Polynesian skirt designed by Thom Browne.
Speaking about the look, which has now gone viral on social media, he said, “I feel great!
First, (Thom Browne’s team) sent the illustrations over and asked, ‘Hey, is Deej 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.”
The look has since sparked conversation around skirts and masculinity, with many pointing to its cultural roots.
He paired the outfit with a $3.3 million Billionaire III watch from Jacob & Co.
