He also was donning jewelry from his trusted man, Gabriel The Jeweler, who has masterminded some of his iconic outfits over the years.
The $650,000 chain, according to Gabriel, was made with 300 carats of rough diamonds, 200 carats of emerald-cut diamonds, and 2.5 kilograms of gold. The fit which was given the title of ‘Gilded Glamor’ was making waves among the crowd and analysts on fashion’s biggest night out. OBJ’s hand also had jewelry from Chrome Hearts, popular for their stunning accessories for these big events.
NFL Twitter has a field day of jokes about Odell Beckham Jr Met Gala outfit
The former Rams wideout is coming off his best NFL season in recent memory as he captured the 2021 Super Bowl championship with the Rams. Since joining the franchise from the Browns, he has experienced a career resurgence and seems to have been back to loving the game. Last season, OBJ recorded 305 yards for 5 TDs in just 8 games with his new team.
While success on the field was encouraging for OBJ, the responses to his Met Gala fit would have been quite brutal for OBJ. Fans took to Twitter to mock OBJ’s fashion choices and even compare his outfit with video games.
