risked 's ire on Monday when he arrived at the 2026 in New York.

The hitmaker, 30, who lives in , walked the red carpet at The Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing a pair of blue jeans. 

Despite being dressed in Prada, the singer committed a fashion faux pas in the eyes of the former Vogue editor-in-chief by wearing the casual clothing item to the Met.

Wintour has long held strong opinions about where jeans should and should not be worn, previously saying there are some places where the item can be disrespectful. 

A former assistant of the fashion mogul, 76, even once revealed in an interview that Wintour had banned jeans and sneakers from her office.  

'The one unspoken rule, it was never explicitly said, but in Anna's office is that there are no jeans and no sneakers,' Sammi Tapper told Vogue in April. 

In 2019, during the Vogue video series Go Ask Anna, Wintour said she didn't dislike jeans, but she believed there was a time and place for them to be worn.    

'Looking at all those models on the street wearing their jeans and t-shirts they all look fantastic,' she said, but added that they're not always 'the most respectful choice'.

She said one should never wear jeans to formal occasions, particularly at the Buckingham Palace and the White House. 

'You should definitely not wear jeans when you're meeting your future in-laws for the first time,' she also stressed.

Nevertheless, Troye did not seem bothered by Wintour's opinion on the fashion item as he proudly rocked his blue denim at the night of night's of celebrity fashion. 

He paired the jeans with a white button-up and black tie which he topped with a faux fur-lined coat.
