Bad Bunny shocked the 2026 Met Gala red carpet by arriving as an elderly version of himself — complete with wrinkles, grey hair, age spots, and a walking cane.
Legendary prosthetics artist Mike Marino hand-sculpted every wrinkle and age spot. He studied octogenarian Puerto Ricans to create a realistic but distinguished look for Bad Bunny.
The application took 3 hours with 6 weeks of preparation — scanning, designing, sculpting, and sewing prosthetics for his face, neck, cheeks, eyelids, earlobes, and hands.
He wore a custom all-black Zara tuxedo with an oversized pussy bow referencing a 1947 Charles James gown, plus a 1995 Cartier watch and his signature walking cane.
