Bad Bunny’s Unrecognizable Transformation at Met Gala 2026
Bad Bunny, age 32, made headlines for his bold fashion choice at the 2026 Met Gala. Instead of appearing as himself, the ‘Titi Me Pregunto’ star teamed up with celebrated makeup artist Mike Marino to craft an entirely new persona. Bad Bunny dressed as an aged version of himself to explore the Costume Institute’s aging body section of this year’s exhibition.
The prosthetics were so effective that they completely fooled Grace Ann Nader during their chance bathroom encounter.
