How to do regal and architectural and slightly goth all at once

Whether it's for award season or a press tour, Colman Domingo just knows how to do impeccable menswear. And that's exactly what we were blessed with when he arrived at the Met Gala 2024.

At New York's Museum of Metropolitan Art, the American actor and playwright showed up in a cream double-breasted suit. But this wasn't just any ol' cream double-breasted suit. This one was by Willy Chavarria, a design mainstay of the city. And rather than just going with a traditional silhouette, it's combined with a cape around the back, and a large black flower embellishment across the left lapel. It looks like something straight out of a fairytale. And there's also something quite goth about the smokey eyeshadow and green contact lenses.

Down south, the Oscar nominee jumped into some super silky black trousers, and he paired them with some super velvety black shoes. To keep in line with the Met Gala's floral theme, he also brought a bouquet of white lilies with him. They're not the kind that you'd find Jeremy Allen White clutching around for at the farmer's market, but we don't love 'em any less.

If Bad Bunny was the Tudor prince of chaos, Colman Domingo was the kindly king who wants nothing but peace and good vibes for his friendly goth kingdom. And with a fit as good as this, that's a king we'd all want to follow.
