With all the audacious outfits on display at the Met Gala, it can be difficult to catch the eye. But one man leapt out from the crowd in a salmon-colored bodysuit with a huge flowing train: Meet Gustav Magnar Witzøe, the Norwegian billionaire heir to a salmon fishing empire.
The 31-year-old model, who commands an estimated $3.9 billion fortune, made quite a splash among fashionistas with his debut at the event in 2023 and is once again making best-dressed lists with his dramatic look this year. “You don’t say no when you’re invited by the Met Gala,” he said in a statement before the glamorous get-together in New York on Monday. “I’m a bit more interested in fashion than average and when Versace says they want to dress me up, I think it’s fun.”
He wasn’t the only person who thought his appearance at the event was fun. “Idk who this man is, all I know is he is now the standard for all men, if you’re not dressed like this don’t even approach me #MetGala,” one X user captioned a picture of Witzøe. Another said he resembled the mythical warrior Achilles, while a third wrote simply: “His bejeweled abs are killing me though.”
