Episode Details

Bad Bunny turned heads at the 2026 Met Gala, sporting hyper-realistic aging makeup that had everyone questioning if he was a time-traveling artist from a classic painting. Makeup master Mike Marino, known for his work on The Elephant Man and Michael Jacksons Thriller, crafted the look using a 3D laser scan of Bad Bunnys face. The process involved three-dimensional printing, sculpting, and hand-painting custom prosthetics, all done in the chaos of the pre-party. Marinos work is not limited to the Gala, having aged up The Weeknd for album covers and videos. The challenge of live events like the Gala, with no room for touch-ups, is what makes it all the more rewarding for Marino, who sees aging effects as the ultimate canvas for art and music.
