Lana Del Rey attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City.
Lana Del Rey looked stunning, but she had her spotlight stolen by a sexy mystery man!
The Met Gala red carpet is all about making a fashion statement that will have your image plastered all over the internet and fashion magazines, but one pop star was completely overshadowed by a handsome young man in the background of her photos.
Lana Del Rey attended the Met Gala on May 5, and while some people were commenting on the alligator pin in her hair — that seemed like a clear nod to her new alligator tour guide hubby Jeremy Dufrene — gay men on social media were thirsting after the cutie with the cheekbones standing behind her.
Then, internet denizens found other photos of the man in the background that gave everyone a better view of the hottie.
And the comments that flooded in from people on social media are dirty enough to make you blush.
"I need him to top me till it's soggy," another person wrote.
There were also plenty of jokes that he “outmugged” Del Ray, and the man’s sexy smolder had everyone wondering who he was. Luckily, the internet sleuths were on the case and in no time at all identified him as New York City-based male model Nathan Overland, who is signed to Wilhelmina Models.
If you ever wondered why there are so many hot men in suits running around the Met Gala, it’s because, the Anna Wintour hosted event hires male models as greeters to do everything from carrying purses to helping arrange trains so that the A-listers get their perfect shot.
Upstaging the star isn’t usually part of the equation, but Overland did just that by serving face with his high cheekbones and bedroom eyes that have men across the internet drooling.
Overland himself has yet to comment on the photos, but he did post a photo of himself along with the Del Rey song “Cinnamon Girl” to his Instagram Stories.
