While global celebrities showcased their outfits at the 2025 Met Gala, American model, actor, and dancer Alton Mason chose to pay tribute to his favorite anime, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, through his Giorno Giovanna-inspired outfit.

Alton Mason has previously made his love for the series evident through social media posts. Nevertheless, no one expected him to appear on the blue carpet while donning an outfit inspired by the same, that too, while staying within the year's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."

When Alton Mason entered the 2025 Met Gala, he could be seen wearing a huge trench coat to conceal his outfit underneath. So, when Teen Vogue questioned the American model about any key details on his outfit that one might miss with the naked eye, Alton Mason revealed that his favorite anime was JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and his outfit was an ode to it.

"Giorno Giovanna has a cut-out. So, I decided to include that."

His outfit featured Giorno Giovanna's iconic heart-shaped cut-out. As fans must know, Giorno was the protagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind.

So, keeping the year's theme in mind, the color of his outfit was deliberately reinterpreted from the original purple to silver and black to give it a sophisticated look. Needless to say, the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fans loved the outfit and could not stop talking about its inspiration.
