Kid Cudi attended the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City in a wedding dress on Wednesday.
The rapper's white lace bridal look was created by ERL designer Eli Russell Linnetz, who shared photos of Cudi before the event on Instagram and accompanied him on the red carpet wearing a classic tuxedo.
"I just out of the blue sent him a text of a wedding dress," the 30-year-old California-based designer told People. "I was like, 'Will you be my bride?'"

Cudi's custom bridal gown was comprised of a full-body lace catsuit, gloves, a cream-colored blazer, and a veil sitting on top of his neon pink hair. Silver emblazoned cream sneakers completed the look, and his accessories included a set of rings as well as a Black Jesus necklace, Vogue reports.
Cudi said he had no doubts when it came to working with Linnetz.
"I trust this man so I was down to take it wherever his mind went," he told People.
"I knew it would piss some people off, but I love that," he said.

"If this is what I'm supposed to do, then so be it. I want to be a disruptor," Cudi added. "And it's cool, because I'm also giving confidence to the kids and telling them to be themselves and do what they want to do."
Representatives for Kid Cudi and Eli Russell Linnetz did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
