Summary

Bad Bunny Met Gala

Bad Bunny attended the 2026 Met Gala in New York wearing an elderly look created with prosthetics by Mike Marino.
The transformation took three hours after six weeks of preparation.
His single “DTMF” broke the Billboard Hot Latin Songs record by staying at number one for 57 weeks, overtaking “Despacito.”
He wore a black Zara suit with an exaggerated bow and a Cartier watch, echoing the 1947 Bustle design.

Summary

Bad Bunny Trademark

Bad Bunny filed a “Benito Antonio” trademark in January 2026 for clothing, belts and leather accessories.
Met Gala images show the logo on a director’s chair and his custom Zara tuxedo, while U.S. records list two filings for apparel and bags in the clothing class.
Analysts say the “Benito Antonio” brand may debut a fashion line or limited-edition tour merch, although Bad Bunny’s team has not commented.

History

Historical Context

Christian Dior’s February 12 1947 debut of the “New Look” – 90 lavish garments that revived ultra-feminine busts and full skirts after wartime austerity – reshaped post-war style and set a template for luxury branding. That silhouette echoes today as Bad Bunny’s 2026 Met Gala outfit, featuring a black tuxedo and Cartier watch, linking historic couture to contemporary pop culture.
