Lil Nas X bared it all on the 2023 Met Gala red carpet.

The “Industry Baby” hitmaker wore nothing but a thong and platform booties when he strutted his stuff on the Met museum steps Monday night.

The 24-year-old rapper was covered in silver body paint and sparkly rhinestones, along with exquisite pearl detailing around his neck and face to transform into a glamorous cat.

His silver thong — which exposed his entire behind — was accessorized with a belt made out of pearls.

He looked unrecognizable with silver, pearls and diamantés covering his lips, revealing nothing but his heavily lined eyes.

The jaw-dropping look was designed by legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath in collaboration with Dior Men, with creative direction by Nicola Formichetti and long silver nails by Temeka Jackson.

YSL Beauty and Coree Moreno rounded out his glam squad, providing his makeup and hair respectively.

This year’s theme pays homage to legendary fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019 at the age of 85 — and the rapper honored his beloved cat, Choupette, with the feline-inspired look.

Lil Nas X is no stranger to committing to a theme at the Met Gala: back in 2021 he wore a three-part Atelier Versace outfit that required him to strip down on the red carpet.

His first outfit featured a beaded, high-collared golden cape, which had a long, sweeping train.

Underneath the regal look was a futuristic, C3PO-style suit of armor, which required a team of people to reveal.

The “Montero” singer accessorized with a pair of black boots for all three looks, along with a set of grills, earrings and gold embellishments at the corners of his eyes.

Clearly he’ll keep shining, no matter what.
