Colman Domingo showed up and showed out at the 2025 Met Gala.
The Sing Sing actor delivered a must-see moment on the red carpet at the annual costume ball with an epic wardrobe reveal, unveiling a bold oversized checkered jacket and wide-leg trousers paired with a polka dot scarf necktie and a large black flower on his lapel.

“I went to [the] 1940s Zoot suit revolution—fabric and tailoring,” he told E!’s Zuri Hall at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art May 5. “It’s all Valentino custom and it’s Boucheron jewels that make me sparkle, because the Black men that I grew up with, they wear lots of rings, pinky rings, you name it.”
He added, “I’m representing a lot of men, so I want to make sure I stood up for them.”
Colman, 55, initially concealed his tailored ensemble underneath a blue cloak, which he said was also inspired by the theme of the evening.
“I had a bit of a choir robe feel to it as well, honoring the Black church,” he noted, explaining that he sought to highlight “the way we fashion ourselves with spirituality in every single way.”
Indeed, the Oscar nominee pointed out that the evening’s theme marked a monumental moment for Black men in fashion.
“We don’t get many opportunities to say, ‘You matter. The way you put that s–t on matters. The way you represent and show up matters,’” he continued. “I feel like I was tasked to be the co-chair of this [event] because I know I have wide arms. I want to make sure we all are standing in this space together so we can stand up a little taller, especially in our climate right now.”
