It’s a swank nod to a trend god.
Colman Domingo wore a praiseworthy Valentino swimsuit beneath a flowing, royal blue cape for his main function as 2025 Met Gala co-chair.
The look-at-me overlaying, which featured a glitzy shoulder and breastplate, shone as a delicate salute to late trend powerhouse André Leon Talley.
“It gives you choir, king, and a little nod to Andre Leon Talley,” the ever-extravagant Emmy winner, 55, informed Vogue on the carpet, referencing the previous Vogue editor-at-large’s Met Gala look from 2011.
The “Four Seasons” star dazzled in his prestigious place as co-host, which he shares with Pharrell Williams, 52, Lewis Hamilton, 40, A$AP Rocky, 36, and Anna Wintour, 75.
LeBron James, 40, an honorary co-chair, regretfully introduced his absence from the soirée in the present day, citing a knee harm.
However Domingo and his fellow cohosts are carrying the night time — a celebration of the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” — alongside.
Accompanied by husband, Raúl, on the much-ballyhooed to-do, Domingo took to the museum’s staircase forward of an a cappella efficiency of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” from a tuxedoed Silk & Sound male choir.
Simply hours earlier than his purple carpet command, the “Color Purple” star served pure panache on the Met Gala convention this morning, sporting a purplish customized swimsuit by Black British designer Oswald Boateng.
He topped off the tailor-made togs with a titled Kangol hat, calling the swaggy accent the “taste of New York” that accomplished his look.
Whereas addressing the gang, Domingo credited Talley, amongst others, for paving the way in which for Black designers, fashionistas and on a regular basis folks.
Domingo shocked audiences with a zippy quote from playwright and director George C. Wolfe, saying, “God created Black people, and Black people created style.”
