Luke Evans made sure all eyes were on him at the 2026 Met Gala, stepping out in a daring leather ensemble that had fans doing double takes, and making comparisons to a certain cartoon icon. The actor embraced a body-conscious look that highlighted his physique, delivering major “Johnny Bravo” energy.
Luke Evans Channels ‘Johnny Bravo’ Energy In Head-Turning Leather Met Gala Look
Evans wore a Palomo Spain burgundy leather jacket paired with flared, figure-hugging A-s-Air trousers, both designed by Alejandro Gómez Palomo. The standout pants featured silver stud detailing and a series of buttons along the back, adding a provocative edge to the already bold look.
According to Palomo, the ensemble was inspired “by the bold, graphic sensuality of Tom of Finland,” reimagined through the designer’s signature lens. The rich burgundy leather base was elevated with metallic studs throughout, creating a striking balance between structure and sensuality.
See The Look!
Adding dimension to the look, Evans layered a sheer silk chiffon shirt beneath the jacket, introducing a softer contrast to the otherwise sharp, sculpted design. He completed the outfit with a matching leather hat, created in collaboration with Spanish milliners Vivas Carrión, along with leather gloves, a belt, black shoes, and dark sunglasses for a fully committed, head-to-toe moment.
As expected, the internet had plenty to say about Evans’ bold fashion choice, and the reactions had no boundaries. “Daddy likes leather,” one user wrote, while another simply added, “the thirst.”
Others praised the commitment to the theme, with comments like, “This is FASHION IS ART,” and “Mr. Evans always serving.”

As photos of his bold leather ensemble continued to make the rounds on social media, reactions poured in fast, with many praising both the look and the confidence behind it. “Cleanest leather look on the carpet,” one user wrote, while another added, “Clean look on the carpet. Luke Evans delivers.”
Others kept it short and loud, with comments like “FATHER” and “Daddy!” dominating the conversation. And of course, fans couldn’t ignore the physique behind the fit, with one joking, “Helps to have that BOD.”
Evans Opens Up About His Fashion Brand BDXY
Evans isn’t just making statements on the red carpet. He is focusing on building a fashion legacy behind the scenes. Speaking with PEOPLE in December 2025, Evans opened up about launching his brand, BDXY, alongside his partner, Fran Tomas, and stylist, Christopher Brown, revealing that his connection to fashion runs deep.
“My mom is a seamstress, so I’ve been brought up around sewing machines. I do have an eye to cut and design and detail and fabrics. So it was sort of inevitable that I was going to do it at some point,” he shared at the time.
BDXY Becomes Luke Evans’ Longtime Fashion Dream Realized
The brand began taking shape about three years ago, when Evans and Tomas saw an opportunity to reset and refocus their creative energy. “Go full steam ahead” became the mindset as they worked to bring BDXY to life.
Now, the result is what the brand describes as an “apparel and lifestyle brand with a strong focus on classic style with a contemporary twist.” For Evans, it’s more than just a business. It’s a passion project. With an emphasis on sustainability, timeless silhouettes, and the release of pieces only when they’re truly ready, BDXY represents a long-held dream finally realized.
