'Heated Rivalry' Star Connor Storrie's Met Gala 2026 Look Has a Surprise Party in the Back
Hudson Williams at the 2026 Met Gala will have you believe in anything.
Indeed, the Heated Rivalry breakout proved he could bring the heat on the ice and the Met steps for the biggest night in fashion May 4.
Arriving in a baby blue Balenciaga cropped blazer adorned with an ornate black trim and tassels over an unbuttoned white collared shirt at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Hudson perfectly embodied the evening's "Fashion is Art" dress code. His slacks featured matching trim on the seam and a black train along the side.
He completed his look with a sparkling diamond choker, black shoes and his black locks spiked in a punky style. But the pièce de résistance? His daring makeup look, featuring a glittering red and blue eyeshadow. (See all the stars on the Met steps here.)
The 25-year-old—whose costar Connor Storrie also made his debut—has continued showing out during the award season thanks to his stylist Anastasia Walker.
"I approach it very much in a way where it is personal to each of them," the fashion pro told EnVi Media in an interview published April 27. "But mainly it's not about the look. It's about me making them the best version of themselves."
From sashes and scarves to earrings and necklaces, Anatasia has helped Hudson score a place on the best dressed list at every event by using "whatever eclectic mix that we could find to convey the story that we're trying to tell."
The actor even reached new heights in fashion when he was recruited to open the Dsquared2 show at Milan Fashion Week in January for his runway debut. While he was excited for the opportunity, it was definitely foreign territory.

"It's nerve-racking," he told Vogue before walking down the runway. "I feel very out of my element. This doesn't feel like acting. So I'm just going to try my best to walk and serve as well as all these other people doing it. But I'm sure I'll look a little like a chicken out there—like Bambi."
While Hudson admitted that he was nowhere near a pro at walking, he explained to Wonderland later that month, "Dsquared2 is a fun show where you're meant to swag it up. And I was like, I could have swagged it up. I could have walked with umph."
