Hudson Williams Heads to NYC for Met Gala Appearance

Hudson Williams is confirmed to make an appearance at this year's Met Gala. The 25-year-old actor, known for his role in Heated Rivalry, was spotted departing the Mark Hotel in New York City on Saturday, May 2, accompanied by his agent Leilani Houston.

The Mark Hotel serves as a favored destination for celebrities preparing for the annual Met Gala, which is set to take place on Monday, May 4.

Williams made a style statement for the outing, donning pieces from Balenciaga—a brand for which he holds the title of Friend of House. His ensemble consisted of the label's Raw Edge Coat in Black Brushed Wool Cady, the Jet Sneaker in White/Blue/Black, and the Rodeo Handbag Large in Black Grained Calfskin.

Since becoming a Friend of House, Williams secured a front-row seat at Balenciaga's fashion show in Paris during March. The actor has also appeared in the brand's recent Heart and Body Campaign, which features Harris Dickinson, Winona Ryder, Havana Rose Liu, and others.

His stylist, Anastasia Walker, added to the anticipation surrounding his Met Gala look, posting about her presence at the Mark Hotel that day on her Instagram story.

Williams is expected to attend the event alongside his co-star Connor Storrie, though several high-profile names have opted to skip this year's fundraiser.
