Jared Leto's doppelgangers took over the Met Gala 2022 and left the internet in complete awe. Fans initially mistook "Mystery Man" Fredrik Robertson for the 50-year-old actor after arriving at the event covered in a silver ensemble.

Even publications like The New York Times and Vulture reported that Leto arrived at the event shortly after Robertsson's arrival.

Robertsson certainly looked slightly identical to the Fight Club star. He donned a silver Iris Van Herpen jumpsuit covered in silver scaly wings to celebrate the Gilded Glamour theme of the 2022 Met Gala.

Meanwhile, the real Jared Leto arrived at the event with his doppelganger. The Oscar winner rocked a classic Gucci fit twinning with the label's creative director Alessandro Michele.

The duo wore identical embroidered ivory gold suits, red bow ties, black leather gloves, and sported matching long tresses pinned back in a similar metal hairpin.
