Thanks to their breakout series Heated Rivalry<\/a> (cheer for gay hockey, everyone!), actors Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie are the new darlings of Hollywood. As a result, the two co-stars were amongst the buzziest and most-anticipated celebrities attending the 2026 Met Gala<\/a> last night.<\/p>\n

This year, both Williams and Storrie made their grand Met Gala debuts, and from the main red carpet to the after-party circuit, the two heartthrobs embarked on wildly-individual fashion journeys. So let\u2019s investigate, shall we? (And no, diehard HudCon fans: This is not a brutal who-wore-it-best situation. We are simply deep-diving for fun here.)<\/p>\n

Storrie, for starters, hit the Met Gala step and repeat<\/a> last night wearing an elegant and refined Saint Laurent look. The crowd went absolutely wild when Storrie removed his black blazer on the Met steps\u2014revealing his chiseled bare arms in a sweeping, polka-dotted muslin top with dress trousers and boots. His sleek style feels both timeless and modern, but the dash of skin is also a smart move: He\u2019s giving the girls and gays exactly what we want.<\/p>\n

Williams, on the other hand, went for a much bolder and theatrical statement look on the Met steps. His power-blue Balenciaga suit, with black crystal embroidery and tassels, was actually inspired by<\/a> a 1947 bolero jacket first made by Crist\u00f3bal Balenciaga. (We love an archival reference.) To make the design feel more 2026-hot-guy approved, Williams bared his chest. Meanwhile groomer Aika Flores added some colorful eye makeup. Storrie\u2019s arms, Williams\u2019s abs: Thirsts were quenched on a Monday.<\/p>\n
