Dwayne Johnson On Wearing A Skirt To The Met Gala 2026
Dwayne Johnson has shared how his outfit at this year’s Met Gala featured a subtle nod to his heritage.
Asked how he felt about the skirt on his way into the event, Johnson said (as reported by Variety): “I feel great!”
He explained that designer Thom Browne first sent his design plans over to Johnson’s team, asking: “Hey, is Deej going to be cool with this pleated skirt?”
“I was like, ‘Look, in our culture, Polynesian culture, we rock lavalavas, we rock skirts’,” he responded.
“The most masculine men – not that I’m one of them – but the most masculine men wear lavalavas and skirts,” Johnson added.
On Tuesday, Thom Browne’s fashion brand also posted footage of Johnson and his wife Lauren Hashian posing for photographers outside the Met Gala.
“Together, Dwayne and Lauren embody Thom’s vision of strength and elegance playing on the mortal and immortal duality of bodies past, present and future,” the post read.
