How many invites does the Met Gala save for Jared Leto each year? For the 2022 “gilded glamourâ€â€“themed fundraising gala, Leto arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a doppelgänger in tow. He matched his look with Italian fashion designer Alessandro Michele, from his beard to his bow tie.

As it turns out, several photographers and reporters had mistakenly identified Swedish creative director Fredrik Robertsson as Leto.
Robertsson, who was profiled in Vogue after catching the magazine’s attention at a Valentino couture show in 2019, is known for his love of over-the-top fashion.
