Colman Domingo’s Stylists on His Met Gala Look, Mood Boarding on Pinterest and Dandysim: ‘It’s Our Culture, Our Heritage, Black Excellence’


Colman Domingo's stylist duo Wayman and Micah talk through the actor's Met Gala 2025 look, and the meaning of this year's theme and dandyism.

As soon as Domingo got the green light to spill the news in November, the trio immediately got to mood boarding his ensemble, which would not only have to compete with the standout looks at the Met but with the actor’s own list of bold and widely praised red carpet choices throughout this past year’s press cycle. “We’re gonna play,” Bannerman says, adding that earrings, statement necklaces and some “special rings” (with diamond detailing) are all central aspects of the sartorial narrative they plan to tell on Monday night. Below, Bannerman and McDonald talk to Variety about Domingo’s 2025 Met Gala look, the meaning of dandyism to them and the importance of this year’s theme to celebrating Black culture — past and present.
