“They both wore capes when they were at the Met,” Colman told E! at the event. “Everything I do, I feel like it’s gotta be for the culture. It’s gotta be more than just for me.”
He continued, “I wanted to honor these brothers who were here before me as well.”
The Rustin actor honored the Black Panther star and the late Vogue journalist at the Met Gala. Colman’s suit was designed by Willy Chavarría and kept on theme carrying a bouquet of lilies.
“I’ve never met Cardi B and I’m really gagging,” Colman said of who he was excited to meet at the event. “I think I might just expire right there at the table.”
Boseman died in August 2020 at the age of 43 after being diagnosed with colon cancer.
Leon Talley, the Vogue eminence famous for his cloaks and caftans, was a staple at the Met Gala for many years, died in January 2022.
