Hudson Williams Puts a Glam Twist on Matador Look at Met Gala 2026

Hudson Williams at the 2026 Met Gala will have you believe in anything.

The star of Heated Rivalry showed he’s just as impressive on the ice as he is on the red carpet, making a splash at the biggest fashion event on May 4th.

Hudson arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art perfectly capturing the night’s “Fashion is Art” theme. He wore a baby blue Balenciaga cropped blazer with detailed black trim and tassels, layered over an open white collared shirt. His pants echoed the blazer’s design with matching trim and a dramatic black detail trailing behind.

I was absolutely captivated by his entire look! He finished it off with some amazing details – a sparkling diamond choker, classic black shoes, and really cool, spiky black hair. But honestly, the makeup was the best part. He wore this incredible, glittering red and blue eyeshadow that just completely made the outfit. You can see all the amazing looks from the Met Gala here, but his was definitely a standout!

The 25-year-old actor, along with his co-star Connor Storrie who is also new to the scene, has been impressing everyone during awards season, with help from stylist Anastasia Walker.

I really tailor my approach to each individual,” the fashion expert shared with EnVi Media on April 27. “It’s not just about how they look, though – it’s about helping them feel like the best version of themselves.

Anastasia consistently helps Hudson make a fashion statement at events, using unique accessories like sashes, scarves, earrings, and necklaces to express a specific theme or message.

The actor took his involvement with fashion to a new level when he kicked off the Dsquared2 show at Milan Fashion Week, marking his first time walking the runway. Though thrilled about the chance, it was a completely new experience for him.

You know, stepping onto a runway is intimidating! I recently shared with Vogue how completely out of my comfort zone it felt. It’s so different from acting – there’s no character to hide behind, you’re just…you. So I figured I’d just do my best to walk confidently and give it my all, but honestly, I was bracing myself to probably look a little awkward – like a wobbly baby deer, or maybe even a chicken! It’s all about embracing the moment and having a little fun with it, even when you’re feeling a bit shaky.

Hudson jokingly admitted he wasn’t a professional model, but told Wonderland magazine that the Dsquared2 show was all about confidence and style. He felt he could have brought that energy to the runway, saying he could have walked with confidence and flair.
