From star-studded awards shows to courtside cameos at the NBA Finals, last week was a masterclass in modern menswear. With the 2025 BET Awards and NBA Finals Game 3 pulling in the best of Black celebrity style, fashion enthusiasts were treated to a dynamic blend of sharp tailoring, cultural flair, and unapologetic individuality. Whether commanding the red carpet or making waves at exclusive dinners, these men didn’t just show up—they did so loudly.
The Looks
Shaboozey was easily one of the night’s breakout style icons at the 2025 BET Awards. He arrived in a custom ELEVEN SIXTEEN by Ugo Mozie ensemble that redefined cowboy elegance with a touch of royal drama. The black double-breasted suit stood out for its intricate looped leather details, paired with a striking gold-and-black patterned tie and a lion-head belt that added a mythic, almost legendary energy. Topping it all off, his wide-brimmed cowboy hat, gold-accented loafers, and oversized sunglasses brought the drama full circle.
Meanwhile, Tyrese Haliburton turned the NBA Finals tunnel into his personal runway, stepping out in an avant-garde look from Comme des Garçons. His double-breasted blazer, detailed with undulating white dots tracing the edges, was a bold nod to artistic innovation, merging the abstract with traditional tailoring. Paired with crisp black trousers, understated accessories, and a sleek leather tote, Haliburton proved once again that athletes aren’t just showing up for the game—they’re redefining fashion one tunnel fit at a time.
Rounding out the list, Wizkid delivered a masterclass in quiet luxury with a distinctively cool edge at the 18th Annual Tribeca Artists Dinner hosted by Chanel. Dressed head-to-toe in the French house, the Afrobeats icon effortlessly blended ease with elegance. His textured knit jacket and buttery leather trousers struck a perfect balance between sophistication and nonchalance. An unbuttoned shirt added relaxed charm, while layered pearl and diamond chains—along with standout accessories like a red watch and pearl belt chain—brought just the right amount of polish. The result? A refined yet understated look that captured the spirit of modern Chanel.
