At the 2026 Met Gala, Dwayne Johnson not only drew attention for his look… but also for what he said afterward.
The actor appeared in a pleated skirt at his Met Gala debut, and it quickly sparked conversation on social media. He explained that his outfit was inspired by his roots.
According to him, in Polynesian culture it is completely normal for men to wear this type of garment. In fact, he made it clear with a phrase that did not go unnoticed: “the most masculine men wear skirts.”
Johnson referred to the traditional “lavalava,” worn for generations on different Pacific islands, arguing that it is not about breaking stereotypes… but about respecting a cultural identity.
