The two-time Academy Award-nominated American actor has become a red carpet fashion plate, embracing bold colour, classic tailoring, with a sense of effortless and playful luxury.

Colman Domingo

Colman Domingo is an award-winning American actor and producer who has emerged as one of menswear's leading men whose red carpet style is closely watched. The “Euphoria” and “Rustin” actor has emerged as a powerful force in fashion, known for using style as a form of storytelling, identity and cultural homage that has led the charge in challenging norms of red carpet masculinity.

Born in Philadelphia in 1969 and a graduate of Temple University, Domingo has become increasingly visible in fashion circles for his distinctive, expressive approach to dressing, which has been highlighted in GQ and Vogue. His embrace of bold colour, classic tailoring, embellishment and gender fluidity has been lauded as advancing the conversation around Black elegance and queer identity in Hollywood. He approaches fashion with the same intentionality as his acting, crediting it as a medium for celebrating cultural legacy. 

In 2025, he co-chaired the Met Gala, wearing a dramatic Valentino pleated cape and bolero in tribute to legendary editor André Leon Talley, designed with Alessandro Michele. The Costume Institute raised a record $31 million that year. As a Valentino ambassador, he collaborates closely with the house, wearing custom looks at the Oscars, Golden Globes, and other major events.

Domingo won an Emmy for his role in Euphoria, his performances in “Rustin” and “Sing Sing” were Oscar-nominated.
