Dwayne Johnson rocked a black mohair tailcoat and a bow tie paired with a matching pleated skirt as he walked down the 2026 Met Gala red carpet hand-in-hand with his wife, Lauren Hashian. When asked about the look, which was custom-made by designer Thom Browne, Johnson said it was in part inspired by Polynesian culture, in which the “most masculine men” wear skirts. The tailcoat featured over 350 meters of hand-pleated silk ribbons in a “skeletal composition,” according to the designer.

Is this attention whoring or a humiliation ritual or is he just a poof?

[Reily]

We are in the Age of Generating “Buzz” so the cash register goes “ka-ching”!

Ask Candice, Tucker, etc about that! We all would be so much better off if we ignored them.

>>Johnson said it was in part inspired by Polynesian culture

If the Rock ain’t Polynesian, then this is “cultural appropriation” which he should get canceled for. When do the riots start?

[philman_36]

Then you can stand the heat as you get memed into oblivion, Maui.

[T.B. Yoits]

Well they didn't wear glasses in traditional Polynesian culture, so which is it, Dwayne?

[glennaro]

A skirt, huh?
But was he wearing his color-coordinated spanx? If so, his transition would be complete.
