Thanks to their breakout series Heated Rivalry (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 last night.
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’s 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.)
Storrie, for starters, hit the Met Gala step and repeat 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—revealing 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’s giving the girls and gays exactly what we want.
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 1947 bolero jacket first made by Cristóbal 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’s arms, Williams’s abs: Thirsts were quenched on a Monday.
