TL;DR

Pedro Pascal wore a custom Valentino outfit to the Met Gala, refusing to honor the event's theme of "Karl Lagerfeld," who was known for being fatphobic, anti-immigrant, possibly homophobic, and misogynistic. Pascal's outfit included a red coat, matching shirt, black tie with a gold metal V, and black shorts, with the Valentino V logo painted on his nails. He also got his middle fingers manicured with the same logo, making a fashion statement and a not-so-subtle message to the event's organizers.
