On the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, on fashion platforms and on TV, that’s where you see them: black male celebrities at the forefront of the fashion world. Forget following trends: these style icons set them. Whether it’s a daring suit for the glitziest Hollywood nights, a cheerful streetwear look for a city outing, or an elevated casual version for a television appearance, they undeniably turned heads last week. Their style wasn’t just about what they wore; it was a captivating mix of confidence, heritage and a unique perspective on fashion that redefined what it means to be well dressed.
The looks
One of the most fashionable male celebrities of the moment, Colman Domingo, turned heads on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival with his outfit that fluently spoke ‘swagger’. He wore an Amiri suit with a subtle print blazer and matching wide-bottom trousers, creating a striking silhouette that paid tribute to retro glamour. The ensemble was anchored by an Amiri camp collar shirt, which added a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe. Domingo completed his look with a pair of elegant Santoni tassel loafers, perfectly balancing style and comfort. To protect his eyes from the sunny climate of Cannes, he added a pair of stylish sunglasses, resulting in a look that was both functional and fashionable.
Rapper Future made a bold fashion statement on the streets of New York City, embracing a casual yet luxurious streetwear aesthetic. He wore a cotton sweater with Celine logo intarsia stripe, paired with Celine jersey straight leg joggers with logo print for a coordinated and striking look. His choice of shoe, Rick Owens’ black and white leather ‘vintage’ sneaker, added an edgy twist to his outfit. Future accessorize with Celine Black Square Butterfly Sunglasses and a durag, exuding an air of effortless cool. His ensemble was further elevated with the addition of silver jewelry, highlighting his penchant for combining high fashion with urban style.
On last week’s episode of American Idol, veteran singer and judge Lionel Richie showed off his refined fashion sense in a sophisticated Dries Van Noten outfit. He wore a brown pinstripe lapelless jacket over matching pants to create a clean and cohesive look. A simple white shirt underneath provided a sharp contrast, while beige and silver sneakers added a contemporary touch. His choice of a simple gold chain, decorated with two wedding rings as pendants, gave his clothing a personal and sentimental element. This look perfectly reflected his ability to combine classic elegance with modern sensibilities, making him a standout figure in the show.
