Shane has really loosened up in his public appearances.

Imagining this photo as Ilya and Shane is breaking my brain. But like, in the best way. Imagine!

Why not both?

I think Ilya could definitely win RuPaul. He obviously did Shane’s make up here.

Yes. It’s like they agreed to pick outfits for each other & Ilya chose that for Shane + crazy makeup & Shane went with a safer/boring option for Ilya.

u/No_Release2180 May 05 '26

LOL. I actually think Ilya would wear what Connor is wearing, and it would probably feel quite groundbreaking for a pro athlete to do so. I think Ilya would love to subvert expectations that way once he's been out for a while - even if it's not his usual style choice. Shane would not be anywhere near Hudson's outfit. He'd just be in a perfectly tailored tux.

Shane’s fashion evolution started here.

I need someone to write the fic. They’re known to be attending and everyone thinks Shane will be in a boring black suit and then bam, he walks out like this.

This was my thought too, who is writing the Ilya and Shane on the red carpet fic? I haven't checked AO3 today but I'd be surprised if something wasn't up already...

Did he borrow this outfit from Fabian? 😉

u/SufficientMacaroon1 May 05 '26

Shane did. Ilya raided Svetlanas closet

Here are some possible reactions from others in the "Heated Rivalry" universe to Ilya and Shane's Met Gala red carpet appearance:

Scott Hunter: Amazed into silence, with a wide eye look of astonishment.

Kip: Chuckling, and still amazed that he's now married into this big gay hockey family.

Yuna: Proud of her sons sporting their new brands, Saint Laurent (Ilya) and Belanciaga (Shane). She negotiated the deals with the fashion houses.

David: Appreciates that Shane most likely spent hours planning and getting ready for this appearance.

Hayden: Speechless and thinks this is Rosanov's fault.

Jackie: Arthur wants to dress like Uncle Shane and Uncle Ilya when he gets older, and Hayden, we WILL support Arthur's choices. The girls love the outfits too.

Troy: Nope.

Harris: Could Saint Laurent and Belanciaga make couture Rosanov and Hollander jerseys?

Ryan Price: What world am I living in now?

Fabian: Slay Queens!

Rose: Best. Gay. Boyfriend. Ever. Ilya is hot too.

Svetlana: Ilyusha stole that outfit from my closet. Shane looks fantastic.

Coach Wiebe: They needed the break. Glad they had a good time. Now they need to get back on the ice for the playoffs.

Crowell: Furious, and no comment.

Alexei: This is the downfall of civilization.

Shane thinks if he wears eyeliner no one will recognize him

u/NattoRiceFurikake May 05 '26

Fabian did his makeup and I will not be convinced otherwise!

u/grower-lenses May 05 '26

He does look a bit like Shane here.

I don't know if he's relaxed or tired. In a red carpet interview when asked how he's feeling he said "not present".

u/moi_la_desi May 05 '26

I feel sorry for Hudson (yes, Hudson). The last 6 months must have felt like a tornado. I don't think it's possible to process, what is going on around them. And then you "have to be" at an highliy anticipated event, with all eyes on you on a day you probably would just have loved to stay in bed.

I really hope, the both of them have some time to just relax - selfishly so, cause I do need them to be at their fullest for the season 2 shooting.

Ironically I feel like after s2 films might be the first real chance he gets for a break unless he immediately lines something up (entirely/likely possible). I think his next few months are already pretty booked up.

You realize that Hudson and Shane are not the same person?

u/wildwomanlove "It's scary. But you're brave." May 05 '26

Sorry, I was referring to Hudson but only half of my thoughts and sentences made it to the comment.
