\u201cColson is, I think, my oldest best friend in this tough biz,\u201d Davidson told a starry crowd that included fashion royalty like Iman, Zac Posen and Tommy Hilfiger. <\/p>\n
\u201cPound for pound I think he\u2019s maybe the most talented person I have ever met. He can rap, he can play guitar, he can rock, he can act,\u201d the former \u201cSNL\u201d comic mused. <\/p>\n

Nancy Rivera \/ BACKGRID<\/p>\n Pete, 31, continued of his musician pal, \u201cHe always leads by example\u2026 and I am really grateful that I have someone that I can call just to shoot the s\u2013t, or talk about what the hell is going on in our careers or how the world works. He\u2019s just a wonderful person and so resilient. He\u2019s been around for two decades and he is 35. That\u2019s a crazy accomplishment. And he\u2019s not going anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n The tattooed rap rocker, who has a new album, \u201cLost Americana,\u201d told the crowd his \u201cstyle can be unconventional.

BACKGRID<\/p>\n \u201cI was a broke kid from the Midwest\u2026 [this] truly has verified my thought that the whole time the Met Gala must have been sending the invite to the wrong address,\u201d quipped Kelly, who was raised in Ohio.<\/p>\n Also honored at the event were Mary Alice Stephenson, Cultured\u2019s Sarah Harrelson and designers Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim of Oscar de la Renta and Monse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pete Davidson told the crowd of Machine Gun Kelly (aka Colson Baker) at the Daily Front Row Fashion…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160219,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,7568,91,97484,88,3976,40593,17597,13954],"class_list":["post-160218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-children","tag-celebrity-news","tag-daily-front-row","tag-entertainment","tag-fashion","tag-machine-gun-kelly","tag-new-york-fashion-week","tag-pete-davidson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160218","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160218"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160218\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160218"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
