Less than a year after the January ceremony, the 76th Primetime Emmys glittered Sunday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. While the spotlight is often on women’s fashion, black men have really stepped up their game this year and pushed sartorial standards to new heights. As with any star-studded affair, the Emmys red carpet showcased an array of styles, and the black men in attendance took the opportunity to make a statement. Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your next black-tie event or simply enjoying the fashion spectacle, the 2024 Emmys provided an unforgettable showcase of masculine elegance.
The looks
At the 2024 Emmy Awards, Lionel Boyce made a bold break from tradition and channeled his Odd Future roots with a striking ensemble. Boyce eschewed the conventional suit jacket and opted for a sleek black windbreaker paired with roomy pleated trousers, a club collar shirt and a pastel pink tie – all from Golf Le Fleur, the brand founded by Odd Future’s Tyler, the Creator. He completed his look with a wool baseball cap, glossy black tassel loafers and a subtle brooch, giving a nod to his signature fashion flair.
Another iconic fashionista is Mekhi Phifer, who embraced contemporary elegance with a nod to classic style at the 2024 Emmys. The actor looked great in a classic black tuxedo, accessorized with a modern bow tie and white shirt. Phifer’s attention to detail was reflected in his choice of shiny black dress shoes and a minimalist yet refined wristwatch. Furthermore, his refined accessories allowed the impeccably tailored suit to take center stage, with a masterful blend of tradition and modern sophistication.
Again, Tyler James Williams brought a bold flair to the red carpet, combining the energy of his co-stars with a daring fashion choice. The Abbott Elementary star turned heads in a sleeveless Martini-fit Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo shirt that showed off his impressive physique and tattooed arms, causing a stir online. (He clearly knew exactly what he was doing). Williams buttoned the shirt at the top and secured it with a Tiffany & Co. brooch that added a touch of sophistication to his daring look. He completed the ensemble with silver-toned bracelets and rings, which perfectly complemented his bold and confident style.
Finally, Aaron Moten made a memorable fashion statement at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, donning a vibrant red military-inspired suit from Kenzo’s Fall 2024 collection. His bold choice stood out vividly on the red carpet, demonstrating his flair for taking high-fashion risks. The suit’s military cut gave it a sophisticated touch, while the vibrant red gave the evening dynamic energy. Moten also completed his ensemble with Neil Lane jewelry and an OMEGA Speedmaster Diver timepiece, adding a layer of luxury that perfectly complemented the suit’s bold style.
