British actor Damson Idris stole the spotlight at the 2025 Met Gala with a show-stopping arrival.

In Damson Idris style, he pulled up to the event in a sleek Formula 1 car, a bold homage to this year’s Met Gala theme, “Velocity & Elegance: Fashion in Motion.” 

The F1 vehicle was covered with luxury custom chrome detailing and Idris’s initials, drawing cheers from the crowd as he stepped out onto the red carpet.

Matching his bold entrance, Idris wore a custom Balmain tuxedo that combined classic tailoring with futuristic edge. 

The deep midnight suit featured aerodynamic paneling and metallic accents, mirroring the curves and structure of an F1 chassis. He also wore a silk shirt with a high mandarin collar, replacing a traditional bow tie, while his patent leather boots added a final touch of sharp sophistication.

In an event known for grand statements, Idris managed to capture both the spirit of speed and elegance. People on social media loved his entrance, praising him as one of the best-dressed and most memorable attendees of the night.
