Many fans praised the group’s visuals, appreciating that their outfits were well-fitting.

 

However, many felt that the group’s outfits were a letdown. Each year, the MET Gala announces a theme for guests attending to follow, and this year’s is “The Garden Of Time.”

In addition to a literal garden, there were many interpretations of the theme, including how the exhibition is divided into land, sea, and sky.

Netizens felt that the group could have worn something more on theme, especially for their first appearance. Some compared their looks to something that could have been worn for a Korean music show like Inkigayo.

However, this is also something that occurs often with MET Gala attendees. Usually, male attendees are criticized for not following the theme, so this is not too out of the ordinary.

Many criticizing the looks still praised Stray Kids’ visuals, remarking they looked handsome.

What do you think of their looks?
