Damson Idris Wows Met Gala with F1-Themed Reveal

Damson Idris made a memorable entrance at the 2025 Met Gala, arriving in a Tommy Hilfiger-branded race car and donning a sparkling helmet adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals, in a nod to his upcoming Formula One film co-starring Brad Pitt. Idris wore a full racing suit before dramatically revealing a sharply tailored three-piece red suit on the red carpet, perfectly aligning with the gala’s 'Tailored For You' theme. The film, set to release this summer, features Idris as a rookie F1 driver mentored by Pitt’s character, with all driving scenes performed by the actors in real F1 cars, using innovative camera technology developed specifically for the production. Lewis Hamilton, a co-host of the event and producer on the film, added to the authenticity and excitement surrounding the project. Idris’s showstopping outfit and cinematic reveal were widely regarded as among the most exciting moments of the night, drawing praise from Tommy Hilfiger and Swarovski for the collaboration. This appearance further cements Idris’s rising prominence in both fashion and film ahead of the movie’s highly anticipated release.
