American rapper A$AP Rocky was, undoubtedly, one of the best dressed male celebrities at this year’s Met Gala in New York. The high-profile event was themed around Karl Lagerfeld, the legendary German fashion designer who passed away in 2019.

For fashion’s biggest night, the suave dresser put his own elegant spin on a look that Lagerfeld originally wore in the early 2000s. Recreate it with impeccably tailored pieces and striking prints from luxury brands such as Alexander McQueen and Dior.
