Donald Glover attended the inaugural GQ Global Creativity Awards, wearing Valentino. The event was held at the WSA in New York on Thursday.
The actor and musician wore a neon green jacket over a classic white shirt, black tie and black trousers from Valentino. He slipped into black leather boots also from the Italian brand to complete the look.
Glover’s look was from Valentino’s fall 2023 collection. With the collection, WWD said the brand’s creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli “transformed the necktie, a symbol of uniformity, into something resembling freedom of expression.”
