There is no denying that Daniel Kaluuya has enthralled fans with his acting skills, but he is also redefining men’s fashion on the red carpet.
The British actor is famous for his roles in standout movies like Get Out, Black Panther, Judas and the Black Messiah, and, Nope — and for each of his movies, he makes sure to show out on the red carpet.
Here is a look at some of Daniel’s best red carpet moments.

One notable instance of Daniel’s fashion sense was at the Soho House Awards, where he stole the spotlight in an ensemble by legendary fashion house, Alexander McQueen. It emphasized that sophistication can co-exist with edgy style without being compromised.
Dressed in a tailored-fit suit with a black and white flower print, the actor proved that the red carpet was not only about wearing the suit, but it had to be the right fit.
His fearlessness in style was seen in the suit’s intricate details and bold patterns, and taking risks in men’s fashion.

At the premiere of the movie titled, Nope, Daniel donned another equally fabulous suit on the red carpet, this time by Kim Jones’ Dior (and thanks to his then-stylist Jason Rembert). Men’s fashion is simple like many people think it is. At the premiere, Daniel managed to merge current with classical modes and produced an up-to-date but timeless style.

Daniel’s fashion journey shows his ability to mix timeless and statement pieces, making his red carpet appearances into an event. He treats men’s fashion as an ever-changing genre of art, in which creative limits do not exist and he can express himself, as he does on film.
“I guess to express myself. But it's more pinpointed than that. To be a reflection of what me and what my people are feeling,” he told GQ. “That's what I want to represent. When I was doing Get Out, that's where I was at. Black Panther, that's where I'm at. That's how I feel with the roles that I do. That's where my space is at. For whatever reason, that's how I was feeling.”
Daniel’s fashion on the red carpet reflects transformation. Daniel is shaking up Hollywood, and he is stamping his impression on the menswear landscape through his bold choices. As we eagerly anticipate his future red carpet appearances, one thing is certain – Daniel is not just an extraordinary actor but a bona fide trendsetter in the realm of men's style.
