His show-stopping ensemble certainly lived up to the hypeâand with good reason as he explained how over the course of six sketches he and Valentino found a design that pays homage the Costume Institute exhibit âSuperfine: Tailoring Black Style.â
âThen we did some editorial decisions together,â Colman explained. âWe took some elements we really loved with one thing and pushed the envelope with other things. Then we arrived at what I think will make me feel my very best and feel very on point. And celebrate really fine tailoring.â
From the Oscars to the Met steps, the Emmy winner is always topping the best dressed lists. As for his secret to a winning look, itâs actually quite simple.
âI always want to feel effortlessly luxurious,â Colman noted. âI want to feel like Iâm the party in some way shape or form. I always want to feel like Iâm at ease, I never want to feel too fussy.â
