Would you spend more than $2,000 to rep a designer black metal sweatsuit? It looks like Anthony Kiedis<\/a> did.<\/p>\n The Red Hot Chili Peppers<\/a> frontman turned heads last month at the\u00a0Silverlake Conservatory of Music’s annual benefit, where he\u00a0was seen donning a\u00a0matching\u00a0set of Cradle of Filth<\/a> sweatpants and a hoodie with comically huge shoulder pads.<\/p>\n According to the Instagram fan account @anthony_strip.my.mind, the outfit is part of Cradle of Filth’s collaboration with Swiss luxury fashion brand Vetements. If you wanted to cop the men’s all-black ensemble for yourself, it would cost you $1,460 for the hoodie<\/a> and $1,170 for the pants<\/a> \u2014 for a grand total of $2,630.<\/p>\n The Vetements collection\u00a0even has a\u00a0high-fashion version of\u00a0Cradle of Filth’s controversial\u00a0vestal masturbation shirt,<\/a> though it doesn’t feature the infamous\u00a0“Jesus Is a Cunt” slogan<\/a>. (You’ll have to resort to good old-fashioned metal merch bootleggers for that.)<\/p>\n Kiedis is not the only non-metal musician recently spotted repping Cradle of Filth. Rapper Cardi B was seen last month wearing a T-shirt maxi dress<\/a> emblazoned\u00a0with the band’s iconography from the same Vetements collection. That piece retails for a cool $1,940.<\/p>\n And in 2019, Billie Eilish took the stage wearing a shirt that was a hybrid of Type O Negative, Rob Zombie and Cradle of Filth<\/a>. Two years earlier, disgraced rapper Kanye West was spotted wearing a Cradle of Filth shirt<\/a> as well, to which the band responded, “Fortunately not a collaborator.”<\/p>\n Both Kiedis and Cardi B’s luxury Cradle of Filth fits drew mixed reactions online. You don’t have to scroll far on\u00a0@anthony_strip.my.mind’s post to find a comment featuring the metal gatekeepers’ weapon of choice: “Name 3 songs.”<\/p>\n Even platinum-selling rock stars can’t catch a break.<\/p>\nWhat Other Celebrities Have Repped Cradle of Filth?<\/h3>\n
