Colman Domingo’s Met Gala Look Is A Whole ‘Work Of Art’

You know it’s serious when Anna Wintour texts you about your Met Gala look. And this is exactly what happened to 2025 Met Gala co-chair Colman Domingo.

The actor recently sat down with Vogue’s The Run-Through podcast and let us in on a chic text exchange. Let’s call it a fashion check-in, if you will, from none other than Ms. Wintour herself.

Anna Wintour texted Colman Domingo about his Met Gala look. Read his response.

“I got a text last night, and I got so giddy because Anna sent me a text last night. And she says, ‘Checking in. How’s filming going and how’s your Met look??’” Colman said about his text chain with the famed editor and icon. His face lit up as he laughed through the memory.

Naturally, Colman didn’t leave her on read. He replied with some friendly updates – he calls Anna a”friend,” by the way. Then, he gave her the full rundown of his Met Gala look, complete with all the little details he planned to add.

Then, he waited for what he described as “hours.”

“I was not going to before she texted me back,” he joked.

But finally, the legendary editor-in-chief texted him back. Three words: “Work of art.”

Colman’s response? “I’m good, you guys; I’m going to be alright!” he exclaimed in the social media clip.

Colman Domingo is a trendsetter with a wardrobe full of ‘works of art.’

But who is surprised?

Colman has been redefining menswear one red carpet at a time—from bold colors and dramatic silhouettes to collaborations with the likes of Valentino and Willy Chavarria. Whether velvet suits or architectural tailoring, he brings a sense of elegance, intention, and flair.

His style is fresh, sometimes whimsy, and deeply rooted in Black artistic expression.

This year’s Met Gala theme, “Black Dandy,” celebrates Black culture, menswear, and androgynous fashion. It’s anticipated to be one of the Blackest Met Galas ever. And we can’t wait to see what Anna already had a preview of.

Colman undoubtedly understands the moment and the assignment. But his story also makes us wonder: does Anna text all her co-chairs?

Or is Colman just that fashionable?

For those counting the days, the Met Gala goes down on Monday, May 5.
