'He looks like a goddamn glitter troll': Internet mocks Lil Nas X for his metallic look at 2023 Met Gala

Lil Nas X paid tribute to the fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld, as he embodied the late designer's beloved pet cat Choupette with a striking ensemble

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Lil Nas X was undoubtedly the talk of the town at the 2023 Met Gala with his daring and bold fashion statement. He didn't hold back with his tribute to the fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld as he embodied the late designer's beloved pet cat Choupette with a striking ensemble that left onlookers mesmerized.

The musician and fashion icon had everyone's attention with his jaw-dropping outfit, which consisted of a metallic thong and sparkling silver body paint adorned with countless Swarovski crystals and pearls. Not a single inch of his body was left unadorned, with the precious jewels and metallic paint even covering his face and nails. The daring look was complemented by a matching bejeweled eye mask and an intricate manicure that oozed glamour and extravagance. It's safe to say that Lil Nas X not only dominated the red carpet but also pushed the boundaries of fashion and self-expression to new heights.

'He looks like a goddamn glitter troll'

Lil Nas X has been making waves on the internet, not just for his daring and unique style, but also for the hilarious memes it has inspired. The internet was quick to react to his look, with many trolling him for his unique choice of outfit (or lack thereof). One user made a side-by-side comparison of Nas with a picture of the animated character from the movie 'Troll', while another posted a photo of a man standing head-to-toe covered in metallic paint, jokingly comparing him to Nas.

A user rated him "4/10" as they said, "Lil Nas X 4/10 Pros : effort , details , creativity Cons gimmicky (not in a camp way) , theme lost in translation, poor execution." A disappointed user wrote, "Lil Nas X Met gala look actually makes me lose some faith in queer people… show up to literally ANY other event in a thong and glitter. It’s not cute. Even if it’s a 'tribute' to an awful person… I hope he’s never invited back."

Another said, "My only concern when I saw @LilNasX was about if he was going to get the same poisoning as the Tin Man from the Orginal Wizard Of Oz Film." Another added, "HE LOOKS LIKE A GODDAMN GLITTER TROLL!!!"
