Frank Ocean’s Date to the Met Gala? A Green Robot Baby

Call Frank Ocean the chicest daddy of the 2021 Met Gala. The singer made the bold choice to walk down the red carpet with a robot baby in his arms. The little nugget was slime green, with sparkling grills, and wore a galactic-printed onesie. Aside from the bizarre but entertaining accessory? Ocean opted for a black suede, three-piece suit by Prada with a white T-shirt. His more tame accessories included a hat embroidered with “Dreamcore,” a play on the animation company DreamWorks, and a necklace by his own luxury jewelry label, Homer. Ocean has worn Prada in the past to the Met Gala; In 2019, he wore a sleek hoodie by the Italian label.

But back to the elephant—or rather the hardwired baby—in the room. While it’s quite the accessory, Ocean isn’t the first person to bring an outré addition to the Met Gala. Back in 2017, Jaden Smith toted his freshly cut dreadlocks. This year, Grimes brought a large sword. Though, Ocean might be the first person to have an accessory that moves. The bionic bambino raised its little limbs, making it seem almost lifelike. And Ocean treated the little creature as if it were a real baby, cooing and cradling it. On the red carpet during an interview with Keke Palmer, Ocean said, “He’s starstruck, I’m starstruck.” Well, so are we.
