Over the weekend, K-pop stars Stray Kids made the surprise announcement on Instagram Live that they would be showing up at the 2024 Met Gala. Fans cried in pure joy as they began to speculate what, or who, they’d be wearing. And after 48 hours of anticipation, we finally have our answer: Tommy Hilfiger.
A bespoke fit for each of the boys, the group flew from Seoul to New York City for their first Met Gala ever. To most of us, the American label is all about preppy, collegiate vibes. And that’s exactly what happened. Except tonight, it’s been updated with some flashy tailoring that represents each of the Stray Kids members. Painted in a red, white, and blue palette that nods to the colors of both the US and South Korea, the fits were all decorated with gold floral detailing that was in step with the “Garden of Time” theme.

Bang Chan, the band’s fearless leader, rocked up in a classic navy three-piece, while Felix (who you may remember from Louis Vuitton’s Fall-Winter 2024 runway) came in all white. Hyunjin and Lee Know, who are both part of the dance and visual line, went for red, while rappers Changbin and Han wore matching button-downs. Rounding off the Stray Kids, I.N and Seungmin arrived on the carpet in silky shirts and even silkier suits.
And of course, this isn’t the first K-pop act to make waves at the Met Gala. But this the first time ever that every single member of Stray Kids has shown up at the New York event. That’s a pretty big deal, and with the group expected to hit New York Fashion Week later this year, we’ll be seeing even more of the guys very, very soon. Which is a good thing, because this may well be the best-dressed band on the planet.
