Walton Goggins ditched his White Lotus vacation vibes for high fashion at the 2025 Met Gala, making a daring debut in a skirt and overcoat. The actor, best known for his role as the effortlessly cool vacationer-turned-killer in HBO’s hit series, traded floral prints for avant-garde tailoring at this year’s star-studded event.

Among the sea of meticulously crafted tuxedos and gowns, one debut stood out—The White Lotus star. Making his first-ever appearance at the iconic fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Walton Goggins wore a custom Thom Browne. The ensemble featured an inside-out black skirt, matching overcoat, crisp white shirt, and a slim black tie. The look was completed with a sophisticated Vacheron Constantin watch, merging eccentricity with elegance.
The actor’s outfit perfectly echoed the evening’s theme, “Tailored for You,” a nod to the Costume Institute’s spring exhibit, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. The exhibition, inspired by Monica L. Miller’s Slaves to Fashion, celebrates the evolution and creativity of Black dandyism. The dress code encouraged guests to interpret tailoring with personal flair.
Goggins wasn’t the only one from the White Lotus universe stepping onto the Met Gala carpet for the first time. His co-stars Patrick Schwarzenegger and Aimee Lou Wood also made their debut at fashion’s biggest night.
The moment held extra intrigue for fans. Social media buzzed with speculation about Goggins and Wood’s real-life friendship status following months of online tension and unfollows. The drama deepened when Goggins enthusiastically praised an SNL skit poking fun at Wood’s teeth, calling it “SMASHING” and “Amazzzingggg.”
Furthermore, the tension seemed to spill into real life. Goggins abruptly walked out of an interview with The London Times after being asked about his friendship with Wood. However, fans recently noticed the two have refollowed each other, hinting at a possible reconciliation. Meanwhile, BLACKPINK’s Lisa joined the event alongside her bandmates Rosé and Jennie.
