Black men were out in full force last week, serving looks that redefined power dressing and proved personal style is alive and thriving. From fashion week soirées to sports award shows, game-day tunnel walks, and even the prestige of the Emmy Awards, they commanded attention across every stage. Their outfits embraced sharp tailoring, daring silhouettes, and statement-making accessories, reminding us that men’s fashion is as much about confidence as it is about clothes. Here’s a roundup of the standouts who truly owned the week in style.
The Looks
Receiving the Virgil Abloh Award at Harlem’s Fashion Row, Usher delivered a masterclass in contemporary luxury with a nod to timeless elegance. His Amiri suit, finished with metallic pinstripes that shimmered under the lights, transformed a classic silhouette into something strikingly modern. Flared trousers added a retro sensibility, while a crisp white shirt, textured brown tie, and polished brown shoes completed the look with elegance. Oversized sunglasses introduced effortless cool, and Tiffany & Co. jewelry offered just the right touch of refinement.
NFL star Javon Bullard transformed the stadium tunnel into his personal runway with a bold Week 1 game-day fit. At the heart of the look was a statement-making Birth of a Royal Child jacket, paired with edgy Chrome Hearts leather shorts—a combination that struck the perfect balance between regal and rebellious. The jacket’s intricate, artistic detailing radiated individuality and prestige, while the luxe leather shorts injected a raw, rockstar energy. Daring yet deliberate, the ensemble proved that sports style can rival fashion week’s front row in both innovation and direction.
At the 2025 Emmy Awards, Colman Domingo once again proved why he reigns supreme on the red carpet. His custom Valentino look—a powder-blue checkered blazer embellished with crystals and finished with dramatic fringe along the sleeves and hem—was equal parts theatrical and elegant. He layered it over a playful polka-dotted shirt, while wide-legged chocolate-brown trousers grounded the outfit with retro refinement. Black pointed shoes, a statement ring, and a luxury watch tied everything together, cementing Domingo’s reputation as a fearless style risk-taker who consistently delivers red carpet magic.
