Bad Bunny’s iconic pava at the 2025 Met Gala was a significant symbol of Puerto Rican resistance and pride, but did you know it was created by local Boricua designer Neysha De León? Based in San Juan, the hatmaker, artist, and creative is the designer behind De León Headwear, which specializes in hand-crafted hats and headpieces including pavas and boleros. De León first collaborated with Bad Bunny earlier this month for the reggaetonero’s Vogue Mexico editorial photoshoot, where he wore a pava crown, and ahead of the 2025 Met Gala, she was approached again by El Conejo Malo and his team to create the mini pava. #NeyshaDeLeon #DeLeonHeadwear #LatinaPower #BoricuaPride #BoricuaDesigner #PuertoRicanDesigner #Poderosa #2025MetGala #ElConejoMalo #BadBunny #Pava #PuertoRicanPava #VogueMexico #BoricuaCommunity #LatinaDesigner #Jibaro #HLOG
