Colman Domingo knows how to make an entrance, and he certainly set the tone for fashion’s biggest night! The Oscar-nominated star hosted his second annual ‘Put That Sh*t On’ party, a star-studded soirée held just before the Met Gala. This year’s event, in partnership with Tequila Don Julio, was all about embracing creativity and community.
A Night of ‘Costume Art’
Held at the new Faena New York, the invite-only affair on May 2nd brought together a curated mix of friends, collaborators, and fashion icons. The theme? ‘Costume Art,’ and guests, including Gabrielle Union, Heidi Klum, Nina Dobrev, and Law Roach, certainly didn’t hold back. Domingo himself led the charge, sporting a stunning custom feathered ensemble by Patricio Campillo, a creation that reportedly took weeks to complete.
From the moment guests arrived, the energy was palpable. Domingo personally welcomed attendees, creating an intimate and celebratory atmosphere. The party’s directive to ‘Put That Sh*t On!’ was embraced wholeheartedly, turning the dance floor into an impromptu runway fueled by specialty cocktails and high-energy music from DJ Spinderella and DJ Lina, followed by a powerful live performance by Jacob Lusk.
More Than Just Fashion
Beyond the dazzling fashion and lively festivities, Domingo ensured the night had a deeper meaning. He raised a toast, reminding everyone present of the transformative power of creativity and connection. “We’re here tonight to celebrate the arts, in all its forms, and all of you here that can change the world through your art,” he shared.
Domingo encouraged guests to connect with new people, emphasizing that through community and collaboration, they hold the power to make a real impact. To foster presence and genuine connection, guests’ phone cameras were covered with gold stickers, encouraging everyone to stay in the moment.
