On Monday, The Rock made his way to the Met Gala and wore a Polynesian skirt designed by Thom Browne to the red carpet.

“I feel great!” Johnson said when asked about how it feels to wear a skirt. “First, [Thom Browne’s team] sent the illustrations over and [asked], ‘Hey, is Deej going to be cool with this pleated skirt?’ And I was like, ‘Look, in our culture, Polynesian culture, we rock lavalavas, we rock skirts.’ The most masculine men, not that I’m one of them, but the most masculine men wear lavalavas and skirts.”

Fans also noticed The Rock wearing a massive watch on his wrist.
According to GQ, The Rock wore a $3.3 million watch to the Met Gala.

That timepiece just so happens to be one of the most expensive ever worn on the museum’s steps: a $3.3 million Jacob & Co. Billionaire III.
Johnson’s look was built to challenge the idea of what men with his demigod build can wear, according to his stylist Ilaria Urbinati. The Rock’s timepieces typically play into that idea—just last week, he strapped on a pink-dial Chopard Alpine Eagle, a svelte sport watch with a playful dial. But the Jacob & Co. goes in the opposite direction: With the Billionaire III, Johnson and Urbinati are leaning directly into the Smashing Machine star’s mammoth stature. “It’s literally massive, Urbinati says of the watch, “and I feel like Dwayne is the only person who could pull off that size.”
