Stan wore a monochromatic look designed by Valentino, which seemingly ignored the event's "gilded glamour" dress code

As Insider's Samantha Grindell previously reported, citing Vogue, "gilded glamour" refers to the period of the Gilded Age of New York, between 1870 and 1890, "during which the upper class had a more-is-more approach to fashion, in part because of technological developments made it easier to buy more clothes than ever before."

Nonetheless, pink on the red carpet for men like Stan? More is more. 

Glenn Close also opted for a Valentino number in bright pink to the Met Gala.
