Last week, the world witnessed a sartorial show of black male celebrities. From the flashing lights of Cannes to the exciting world of Formula 1, these men gave classic menswear a contemporary twist and turned heads with their distinct take on style. The boys indeed brought their A-game and captivated the audience with their impeccable taste. This week’s roundup highlights standout looks that exemplified elegance, innovation and pure fashion brilliance.
The looks
At the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, model Alton Mason was unforgettable in a quirky suit from the LGN Louis Gabriel Nouchi autumn/winter 2024 collection. The oversized blazer featured statement shoulder pads that highlighted Mason’s statuesque frame, while the loose-fitting trousers continued the relaxed conversation that combined classic elegance with contemporary swagger. He kept his accessories minimalist yet impressive, layering three chain-link necklaces that added a subtle edge to the polished look, and completed the ensemble with a pair of snakeskin boots. Mason’s outfit perfectly matched the glamorous atmosphere of the festival, combining haute couture with timeless elegance.
Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton brought his impeccable style to Italy for the Imola Grand Prix. Wearing an elegant outfit from Prada’s SS24 Menswear collection, Hamilton demonstrated his flair for preaching luxury with a healthy dose of character. His accessories were equally notable, including Marie Lichtenberg’s purple evil eye ring made of yellow gold, diamonds and sapphire, a Cartier Les Berlingots de Cartier ring made of yellow gold, diamonds and malachite, and a pair of stylish Jacques Marie Mage Mishima sunglasses. Hamilton’s look was a masterclass in accessorizing, combining sophisticated pieces to create a cohesive and striking whole.
Meanwhile, singer Guard exuded regal elegance in a head-to-toe Fear of God fit from their ‘Collection 8’. His offering included a trench coat over a sleeveless top and matching trousers, creating a sleek and sophisticated silhouette. Complementing the look with brown leather high-top sneakers, Usher brought balanced high-fashion with a touch of urban flair. The ensemble highlighted his ability to effortlessly merge different styles, resulting in a look that was both sophisticated and contemporary.
