Colman Domingo is Quentin Mitchelllooking as fashionable as ever at the 2024 Met Gala.

The "Euphoria" star, 54, stepped out on the red carpet on Monday looking dapper in a white and black suit designed by Willy Chavarria. His look was complete with a flowing cape, which Domingo said was a nod to the late André Leon Talley, who served as editor-at-large of Vogue magazine.

Keeping with the Met Gala's dress code of "The Garden of Time," the actor also strutted the red carpet with a bouquet of fresh flowers.

Domingo is known for his stylish red carpet looks, which he showed off during awards season this year after being nominated at the Oscars for his performance in "Rustin."

Speaking to Vogue on the Met Gala red carpet, he described the event as the "Super Bowl of fashion" and the "cherry on top" of his big year. "I've had such an exceptional year," he said. "It's been kind of magical, and then to be invited here, I didn't take this lightly."

Domingo also told Vogue on the red carpet that his "beautiful" outfit drew on numerous "men that I admire," including late fashion journalist Talley and late "Black Panther" actor Chadwick Boseman. "They both wore capes when they were at the Met," he told E! News. "It's my first time at the Met, so I wanted to honor these brothers who were here before me."

He added, "I feel sexy. I feel cool. It's great."

Domingo, who also starred in last year's "The Color Purple," previously impressed at the Oscars in March wearing a tuxedo and cowboy boots.

The theme of the 2024 Met Gala, a benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth and Zendaya are serving as co-chairs for the event.

Domingo may be stepping back out onto the awards season red carpet again in 2025, as he's already earning Oscar buzz for his movie "Sing Sing."
