Cleveland Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr. showed up to the 2019 Met Gala wearing a suit and shirt with no sleeves.
He also was rocking the kilt.
Did he pull off that look?
Naturally Twitter was having some fun.

Beckham explained the process behind his outfit via GQ:
“I told them no off the rip,” Beckham says of the kilt in Thom Browne’s midtown offices on Sunday night, just 24 hours before the Met. “I was like, ‘There’s no chance I’m wearing that. On the way here I was like, ‘Can you make sure they bring it just in case? I might just do it just to do it.” (Spoken like a true Nike athlete.)
On one hand, he’s worried about his unblemished record, fits-wise. “You know when somebody wears something and you’re like, ‘Nah, that ain’t it’?” he asks. “I haven’t had too many fits where it’s like, that ain’t it.” On the other hand: “I definitely could pull it off.” Wearing a kilt to the Met Gala is the sort of idea you sink into, like a steaming bath—it’ll be comfortable once you work up the courage to get your ass into it.
Half an hour into his fitting, Beckham finally says the magic words.
“Can I just try it on?”
If you’re going to wear a kilt, the Met Gala is the place to do it.
OBJ will definitely miss the fashion part of NYC.
