Colman Domingo, the Oscar-nominated actor and newly appointed co-chair of the 2025 Met Gala, has consistently turned heads on red carpets with his bold fashion choices. Known for his ability to blend theatrical flair with timeless elegance, Domingo has collaborated with top designers like Valentino, Versace and Willy Chavarria to craft looks that challenge traditional menswear norms.
From his fuchsia Atelier Versace ensemble at the 2021 Oscars to his dramatic Willy Chavarria cape at the 2024 Met Gala honoring Chadwick Boseman and André Leon Talley, Domingo’s outfits often tell a story. As he prepares to lead this year’s Met Gala, WWD looks back at his past red carpet appearances.
The 2025 Met Gala, themed “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” will take place on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year’s event marks a significant focus on menswear, particularly highlighting the style and influence of Black men throughout history. The exhibition, which opens to the public on May 10, will explore the concept of the Black dandy and its impact on fashion and identity.
