COLMAN DOMING REACHED THE SUMMIT NOW WHAT?
GQ US|Summer 2024
After three-plus decades in Hollywood, Colman Domingo finally found his work validated with an Oscar nomination-and became the new king of red-carpet style. Here, he gives us an exclusive first look at Loro Piana's luxurious new camping collection, and talks about the career opportunities he's been preparing to seize all his life.

COLMAN DOMING REACHED THE SUMMIT NOW WHAT?

HE appears, as ever, looking positively dripped out: white jacket, white pants, jaunty Louis Vuitton scarf, Rolex gleaming in the afternoon sun, fingers glistening with rings that would put a sultan to shame. Even on a relaxed day, Colman Domingo is guaranteed to be the bestdressed person walking into a room or, in this case, a 30-acre retail-space-cum-office-complex in Downtown Los Angeles.

"I'm from a generation of people where you have to tell your story a little bit," Domingo, who is 54, says of his outfit.

Casual, unintentional dressing-that's "never been my style," he says, gesturing toward the casual and unintentional around us. In addition to the sumptuous clothes, he has an easy laugh and speaks in a soft baritone that once caused NPR legend Terry Gross to pause mid-interview just to exclaim, "I love your voice."

With a three-decade career as an actor, playwright, and director behind him, Domingo dominated red carpets earlier this year during his first Oscars campaign for his portrayal of the civil rights activist Bayard Rustin in Rustin. (Domingo was the first openly gay Black man ever nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor.) He had finally arrived, and he was staking his claim with a cavalcade of sharp, playful, show-stealing suits. The result was an all-time outfit heater, the sartorial equivalent of Klay Thompson dropping 37 points in a quarter.

There was, however, a rare miss early in the season. I don't remember it, and you probably don't either, but there was one person who caught it: Oprah.

"She was like, 'You look great. But what was that outfit you wore a few weeks ago? I depend on you. You never have an off day, but that was terrible," Domingo recalls.

Why Does Everyone Have Big, Fake White Teeth Now? - Veneers were once a dirty secret. Now they're the new luxury status symbol, and the famous and wealthy are flocking to Hollywood's favorite dentist in search of ever more perfect teeth.

Why Does Everyone Have Big, Fake White Teeth Now? - Veneers were once a dirty secret. Now they're the new luxury status symbol, and the famous and wealthy are flocking to Hollywood's favorite dentist in search of ever more perfect teeth.

Early one afternoon in August, at his office on the ninth floor of the Camden Medical Arts building in Beverly Hills, Dr. Kevin Sands slipped on a black surgical mask and latex gloves before peering into the mouth of a sleeping princess. Instead of standard medical scrubs, he wore black Amiri slacks, a matching James Perse T-shirt, and Nike sneakers designed by Travis Scott. On his left wrist was a Patek Philippe Aquanaut with a khaki green dial and matching strap. The watch cost just over $50,000, which is about a third of what her royal highness was paying to have 28 perfect-looking cosmetically enhanced teeth restored with a new set of handmade porcelain crowns and veneers.
