Colman Domingo

As co-chair of the evening, Domingo delivered one of the night’s most meaningful looks. He told Vogue his look was inspired by the Moors, along with royal lineage, and the custom that “a freed slave wanted to wear their finest best blue suit.” Domingo’s ensemble was both personal and powerful.
