Colman Domingo Pays Tribute to Fashion Legend André Leon Talley with a Majestic Look at the 2025 Met Gala

Colman Domingo

In a moment that combined nostalgia and elegance, star Colman Domingo dazzled on the red carpet at the 2025 Met Gala in a timeless look unlike any other… it was a love letter and tribute to a Black fashion icon: the late André Leon Talley.

Domingo wore a voluminous Valentino cape, directly inspired by Talley's iconic look at the 2011 Met Gala. The same grandeur, the same majesty, but with a fresh twist that connected the past to the present.

The message was clear: Talley may be physically gone, but he remains present in every thread and fabric of this gala. Colman Domingo knew how to transform fashion into a living tribute that exudes authenticity and respect.

The look impressed fashion fans and critics, and was considered one of the most profoundly symbolic moments at the gala this year.
