Bad Bunny's Met Gala Look Was Puerto Rican, Prada, and Pure Perreo—and He Just Dropped a World Tour
Benito went solo, with a jíbaro hat, a suitcase and stole the show
Bad Bunny didn't just make a fashion statement at the 2025 Met Gala—he delivered a whole cultural moment. Draped in a rich brown Prada suit inspired by his Puerto Rican roots, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio showed up solo, looking every bit the icon he's become. No Kendall Jenner by his side. No distractions. Just Benito, his heritage, and one hell of a message.

"I hope people think I look good," he told Vogue with a grin. "We worked for several months on this. Some of the pieces are inspired by Puerto Rican culture. The sombrero, the tie is made from the same fabric—we did something special."
And special it was.
The look—tailored, rich in color, and full of texture—nodded to jíbaro traditions while elevating them through the lens of high fashion. From the oversized straw-style hat to the caramel shirt and oversized suitcase (from Prada's Fall 2025 collection), every detail whispered both home and global takeover. Bad Bunny didn't just dress for the theme (Superfine: Tailoring Black Style)—he told a story. And then he dropped a bomb.
"This is a special and unique show," he said on the red carpet. "My world tour was announced today."
Yup. The Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour kicks off this November in Santo Domingo and stretches across Latin America, Australia, Japan, and Europe before wrapping up in Brussels next July. But before all that?
He's going home.
From July to mid-September, Bad Bunny will host a 30-date residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. The show is called "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí" (I Don't Want to Leave Here)—and Benito promises it's unlike anything fans have ever seen. "The Puerto Rico show is 100% different," he told press. "It's not going to happen ever again."
This year's Met Gala appearance also marked a shift for the reggaetón king. In 2023, he co-hosted the gala and wore a backless Jacquemus suit with Kendall Jenner on his arm. In 2024, they showed up again, all eyes on them. But 2025? Benito came solo—and stole the night.
He wore his heart and homeland on his sleeve (literally), walked alone, and made it all about the music, the message, and the moment. No more whispers of tabloid romance. Just a global superstar reconnecting with where it all began—and bringing it to the world stage.
Between his tribute to Puerto Rican identity, his seamless blend of street style and luxury tailoring, and a tour that's already generating buzz as the year's hottest ticket, Bad Bunny is rewriting the rules of celebrity.
And he's doing it en español, in Prada, with perreo in his veins.
