Heated Rivalry’s Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie flash muscles in Met Gala debut

Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie made their Met Gala debuts

Heated Rivalry favourites Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie both made their Met Gala debuts last night (4 May), each in very different looks.

The two leading men, who play rivals-turned-lovers in the Crave hockey drama, proved their star power by attending the annual event just months after they shot to international superstardom.

Storrie, fresh from a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live, arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Saint Laurent and Tiffany & Co.

He stepped onto the cream carpet in a tailored suit, before shedding the jacket to reveal a sleeveless, ruffled shirt.

The actor, who plays Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry, accessorised with a gold watch and his bulging muscles, after admitting he “has it easy” when it comes to the Met.

Referencing the hours of preparation many of the women in attendance have, he told GQ beforehand: “I think comparatively to a lot of other people who are involved, I think I have it pretty easy.”

He also said he was “excited to see Huddy at some point”, meaning his co-star Hudson Williams. “I haven’t seen him in a long time,” Storrie said.

And speaking of Hudson Williams, the Shane Hollander actor arrived in an eggshell blue suit, complete with bolero jacket.

The matador look featured black embellishments and a long train, with the front left open, showing his sculpted body as he walked the cream carpet.

Williams also had a grungy makeup look by Aika Flores, who was inspired by “where innocence fractures and grace darkens, the white swan shedding softness to emerge as something sharper, untouchable, and entirely reborn”.

The star actually left his hotel in a white robe though, alongside Odessa A’zion.

While we’ve not seen any professional photos of the Storrie and Williams just yet, we’re hoping one or both broke the famous “no selfies” rule and we’ll see some on social media soon.
