Would you spend more than $2,000 to wear a designer black metal sweatsuit? It seems that Anthony Kiedis did.
The frontman of Red Hot Chili Peppers turned heads last month at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music’s annual benefit, where he was spotted in a matching set of Cradle of Filth sweatpants and a hoodie featuring comically large shoulder pads.
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 get the men’s all-black ensemble for yourself, it would cost you $1,460 for the hoodie and $1,170 for the pants — totaling $2,630.
The Vetements collection even includes a high-fashion version of Cradle of Filth’s controversial vestal masturbation shirt, although it does not feature the infamous “Jesus Is a Cunt” slogan. (You’ll have to rely on traditional metal merch bootleggers for that.)
Which Other Celebrities Have Worn Cradle of Filth?
Kiedis is not the only non-metal musician recently seen wearing Cradle of Filth. Rapper Cardi B was spotted last month in a T-shirt maxi dress adorned with the band’s iconography from the same Vetements collection. That piece retails for an impressive $1,940.
In 2019, Billie Eilish took the stage wearing a shirt that combined elements from Type O Negative, Rob Zombie, and Cradle of Filth. Two years earlier, disgraced rapper Kanye West was also seen in a Cradle of Filth shirt, to which the band responded, “Fortunately not a collaborator.”
What Was the Reaction to Anthony Kiedis’ Cradle of Filth Sweatsuit?
Both Kiedis and Cardi B’s luxury Cradle of Filth outfits received mixed reactions online. You don’t have to scroll far on @anthony_strip.my.mind’s post to find comments featuring the metal gatekeepers’ favorite challenge: “Name 3 songs.”
Even platinum-selling rock stars can’t escape criticism.

Others were simply unimpressed with the outrageous design of the outfit. “It’s ugly; it doesn’t matter how expensive this is,” one user commented.
Another added: “Supervillain ahh outfit.” Yet another person joked: “He forgot to take out the coat hanger.”
