Jared Leto

Leto later arrived on red carpet in matching outfit with Gucci creative director.

“We are getting ready for the Met Gala 2022 and I am so lucky to have my Swedish dream team in New York with me - transforming me into…well - you will see,” he wrote alongside a photo of his makeup being done.

Turned out Jared Leto had a planned doppelgänger for the Met Gala. Here's who he went to the 2022 Met Gala with in matching outfits.

He wore a bright red Gucci outfit accessorized with jewelry across the torso, and carried a replica of his decapitated head. In November, Alessandro posted the pair chatting with Leonardo DiCaprio at an event, captioning the post, "a night out in LA." And when they're not taking to the city, they're gardening together.

Leto was unfairly maligned for his exuberant, ridiculous performance as Paolo in House of Gucci but that at least had life and energy. Instead, what we end up with is drab, flat and humourless. You’ll see more claret in your local off-licence.

Fashionisto Fredrik Robertsson took the internet by storm with his 2022 Met Gala look — party because many thought he was Jared Leto.

The Internet, naturally, had a field day with the ongoing confusion over who Robertsson was. “I just happen to love fashion and have always liked the idea that what I wear changes how people look at and think of me,” he said. Taking the red carpet at the Met Gala by storm, Robertsson was dressed in an intricate, spine-filled haute couture gown designed by Iris Van Herpen, while also sporting some spherical eye makeup and a slicked-back hairdo.

Jared Leto looked unrecognizable in a dramatic futuristic silver ensemble on the 2022 Met Gala red carpet — because it wasn't really him.

“Queer Eye” star Karamo Brown wasn’t quite convinced it was the 30 Seconds to Mars frontman. To celebrate the “Camp” theme in 2019, he toted a perfect replica of his own head on the red carpet. Most recently, he channeled his inner vampire bride for the premiere of his panned superhero film “Morbius.”

Rising fashion star Fredrik Robertsson was confused for Jared Leto when he arrived at the Met Gala tonight. Things got even more confusing when the real ...

Which of these men is Jared Leto? Is any of these men even Jared Leto? Is one of them Jared Leto’s disembodied wax head? Whatever Robertsson is doing with this Iris Van Herpen outfit, he is not alone. Did you spend roughly 20 minutes tonight believing that Jared Leto wore an aquatic metal getup to the Met Gala? Well, you were wrong!

The same sentiment could be applied to Iris van Herpen, the Dutch fashion designer whose avant-garde collections shown at Paris Couture Week consistently raise ...

The similarities between him and the actor are uncanny: both have high cheekbones, a slim face, facial scruff, and penchant for heavy eyeliner and theatrics. His name is Fredrik Robertsson, a frequenter of couture shows and the editor-in-chief of Boy magazine. He even matched identically with his other doppelgänger, Gucci designer Alessandro Michele, in a beige brocade suit that recalled the twins from The Shining.

This 2022 Met Gala outfit was passed along online as Jared Leto, but the man behind the look was Fredrik Robertsson, who is also known for envelope-pushing ...

That wasn’t Leto, but the actor did eventually show up in a pretty Jared Leto outfit to the Met Gala. The longtime Gucci devotee dressed as the label’s creative director Alessandro Michele. The pair wore matching outfits: an embroidered ivory double-breasted suit, a magenta bow tie, and even a metal hair clip arranged in the exact same place. It didn’t help the confusion that Robertsson and Leto don’t look entirely dissimilar, especially behind a veil of quills and in full makeup. Year after year, Jared Leto makes an absolute meal of the Met Gala. Nobody wear attention-getting gear quite as reliably as he does: In 2019, you’ll recall, he literally carried his own head to the annual event.

One of the us always speaks with an Italian accent, and the other always sounds like Super Mario.

But then, the real Jared Leto arrived, this time in the form of a puzzle. First, through no fault of Leto's own, there was a mishap in which multiple news outlets misidentified Swedish fashion figure Fredrik Robertsson as the actor. But he's certainly making us work for it!

This year, he showed up with a full-on twin—in the form of Gucci designer Alessandro Michele. Leto, of course, may be the single biggest celebrity muse ...

It was really organic and not the way this stuff normally happens.” Michele first tapped Leto to appear in ads for Gucci’s Guilty fragrance back in 2016, and the pair’s creative relationship has only continued to grow. The last time Jared Leto showed up on the Met Gala red carpet, he was carrying an exact replica of his own head.
