It's the end of an era for Future fans. At the Met Gala on Monday, May 5, the rapper debuted a dramatic new look.

Arriving on the red carpet in a dapper tweed-like ensemble, Pluto posed for the cameras without his signature locs that he's had for most of his career. Instead, he was rocking a shorter style, showing off his natural hair texture. In typical Future flair, he spiced it up with some bleach.

The theme for the 2025 Met Gala is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. Speaking to CBS News, Complex editor Aria Hughes predicted, "We're going to see lots of suits, I think in all shapes, sizes, colors. I think designers are going to play in different ways, and then hopefully lay in some storytelling."

And the event has a stacked lineup for its co-chairs, enlisting Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour. LeBron James was named an honorary co-chair, but had to back out of the event due to an injury.
