Viral TikToker Wisdom Kaye arrived to the 2026 Met Gala in style one year after he told he fans he couldn’t score an invitation to fashion’s biggest night.

For his second time at the star-studded event, Kaye was dressed in a double breasted suit designed by Public School. He also wore a metal belt and black gloves with metal wiring, plus a tie and brooch.

For Kaye’s first time at Met Gala in 2024, the fashion content creator wore a one-of-one, all-red Robert Wun ensemble with singed details.

Last year, Kaye shared in a tweet that he would be absent for the Met Gala, which had the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” because he wasn’t invited.

Despite the news, Kaye tweeted that he was excited to see the attendees’ “beautiful interpretations of black dandyism.”

The month prior to the event, which was co-chaired by ASAP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton, Kaye revealed that he had only attended the Met Gala in 2024 because TikTok had “bought a table.”

"If you guys wanna screenshot every tweet, package them up, and send them to Anna Wintour... be my guest!" Kaye joked in the TikTok below. "I don't think they really want to have social media people there this time around.”
