The nearly naked look was designed by legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath in collaboration with Dior Men, with creative direction by Nicola Formichetti and long silver nails by Temeka Jackson.
This year's theme pays homage to legendary fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019 at the age of 85 -- and the rapper honoured his beloved cat, Choupette, with the feline-inspired look.
