NAACP Image Awards: 5 Looks From Colman Domingo That Are Jaw-Dropping
Whether he’s on a red carpet, at a fashion house event, or posing in editorial-level fits, Colman Domingo treats style like storytelling. Every look has intention. Every detail feels deliberate.
As he heads into this year’s NAACP Image Awards with three nominations, including Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series, it’s only right that we honor his other award-winning category: best-dressed in real life.
Here are five Domingo looks that made us stop, stare, and save to our fashion folders.
The Pinstripe Power Suit That Commands Respect
This deep navy double-breasted suit with red pinstripes is pure authority.
The tailoring is sharp, the silhouette is regal, and the subtle stripe gives it just enough drama without screaming.
What really seals it is the styling.
This kind of suit doesn’t just walk into a room — it takes ownership of it.
The Fur Moment That Screams Fashion Editor Energy
Domingo, in a fur coat, black beanie, and all-black base, is giving “front row at Fashion Week, but make it soulful.”
The texture alone does all the talking.
The fur is rich, dramatic, and cinematic, paired with sleek black underneath, so the coat remains the star.
It’s bold without being loud. Luxurious without being try-hard.
This is how you do statement dressing when you actually have presence to back it up.
The Velvet Suit That Feels Like Midnight
Brown velvet is already risky, but on Colman Domingo, it becomes seductive.
The suit feels like late-night jazz, candlelight, and confidence all in one.
Paired with tinted glasses, gold jewelry, and a relaxed posture, this look isn’t begging for attention but turns heads anyway.
This is grown-man glamour. Soft, rich, and intentionally unbothered.

The Polka Dot Look That Breaks All the Rules
Polka dots, tailored suit, pink carpet — and somehow he makes it look effortless.
The black-and-white pattern feels playful, but the cut keeps it sophisticated.
Then he adds loafers with embroidered detail and suddenly the look feels like fashion meets personality.
This is what happens when you dress like you actually enjoy style and not like you’re afraid of it.
The Sequin Coat That Turns Him Into the Moment
This black sequin coat is pure drama — and Colman wears it like it’s part of his DNA.
The texture alone does half the work. It catches light from every angle, making him shimmer without ever looking costume-y.
Underneath, he keeps it sleek and sharp with an all-black base, letting the coat be the headline.
This is red carpet dressing that says:
“I didn’t come to blend in. I came to be remembered.”Watch the NAACP Image Awards on BET and CBS on Feb. 28, 2026.
