As Heated Rivalry fans predicted, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie both made their Met Gala debuts on May 4.
Even before the actors were spotted flexing their fashion muscles in New York City earlier this weekend, the internet declared them “shoe-ins” to score invites to the most exclusive fashion event of the year. Consider their past six months of front-row appearances, runway debuts, and industry red carpets warm-ups to the sartorial championships. Back in February, Williams was earned a coveted “Friend of the House” title at Balenciaga, starring in their Heart and Body campaign. Meanwhile, Storrie is an official ambassador for Saint Laurent and Tiffany & Co.
So trust, they were both more than prepared for the big game, despite attending with rival fashion houses. On the first Monday in May 2026, Storrie was the first to step out first in a black Saint Laurent suit with a polka dot Lavallière blouse featuring a long, billowing train.

On the actual Met steps, Storrie got cheeky with fellow guest Katy Perry, whose own face was covered by a white and chrome headpiece that’s giving fencing match in space. He then took off the Saint Laurent suit jacket altogether, showing off his arms and highlighting his surprising polka-dot halter top. In those photos, you can clearly see his Saint Laurent look was accented by heirloom-worthy diamond and rubellite brooch by Tiffany & Co.
