The intricacies of executing a good fashion job often lie in the simplicity of mastering one’s style. While risk-taking is essential in fashion, understanding what works ensures more reliable success. Last week the dandy boys stuck to the basics, but not without adding unique details for extra flair. The red carpet events, game appearances and stage performances tasked these fashionable black men to be adamant about business. With all sides tucked in and not a slack in sight, these celebrities attended the 2024 Oscars and other events with the confidence of a beefed-up military.
The looks
Throughout award season, Colman Domingo has consistently elevated men’s fashion with his unique style. His portrayal of civil rights activist Bayard Rustin in the film ‘Rustin’ has thrust him into the spotlight. Despite the accumulation of nominations and recognition, the star ensures that style remains central. The Vanity Fair Oscar party was no exception for this style icon, who refused to conform on the carpet in a dapper Balmain ensemble.
While John Cena opted for a pantsless Oscars appearance, John Legend compensated with a polished Tom Ford suit with flared pants. It was a classic black-tie look, except for the airy pants that seemed to travel back to ’90s fashion, only to return with a contemporary twist. Essentially, old trends are making a comeback, and John Legend seems to agree with this revival.
Meanwhile, the State Farm Arena pulsed with tunes and energetic vibrations as Afrobeats stars Burna Boy and Toni Braxton took the stage. Burna gave an approving nod to the oversized fashion with his star-spangled boots, paired with loose-fitting jeans and a top. Firmer meant slimmer, perhaps the message for this ensemble. If so, he executed it with precision.
