Colman Domingo
Colman Domingo, Omega’s Friend of the Brand, has never disappointed with his red carpet looks. His black-and-white suit ensemble, featuring contrasting patterns and eye-catching accessories, was topped off with an unreleased Speedmaster watch in 18K gold. We can only expect the best from the Met Gala 2025’s co-chair.
Nicole Kidman
Meanwhile, Omega ambassador Nicole Kidman paired an elegant re-creation of a 1950s couture gown with a vintage Ladymatic “Saphette” timepiece from 1969—a fitting combination. The watch is crafted in 18K white gold, and features a delicate black corded fabric bracelet. Its name references the sparkling sapphire crystal on the face, facetted like a diamond solitaire.
Noah Lyles
Olympic Games 100m champion and Omega ambassador Noah Lyles raced to the top of the gala’s roster of dapper gentlemen. Clad in a sharp suit with his recognizable pearls—their large size making them effective statement pieces—he paired the outfit with a 40 mm De Ville Prestige in 18K yellow gold on a brown leather strap. A subtle yet classy choice that ties everything together.
Barry Keoghan
Omega’s Friend of the Brand and actor, Barry Keoghan, opted for a sleek and dramatic look with dark two-piece ensemble, the top featuring a bold red belt and vibrant embroidery. His choice of timepiece, the Speedmaster Moonwatch in 18K Moonshine™ Gold, added extra panache to the unique look, especially with its blackened subdials.
Patrick Schwarzenegger
Actor Patrick Schwarzenegger played with juxtaposition for his Met Gala ensemble, pairing a form-fitting belted coat with bright yellow hues and leather accents (complete with gloves for more effect). His 38 mm Aqua Terra Shades timepiece in full 18K Moonshine™ Gold with sun-brushed dial provided that much-needed, softer touch to the dark colors.
Tom Francis
Actor and singer Tom Francis opted for a mellow, neutral look with a khaki-colored suit. The 38 mm Seamaster Aqua Terra in 18K Moonshine™ Gold gave his outfit even more flair, all the more with its contrasting blue dial.
Justice Smith
Justice Smith’s cream-colored jacket and pants combo was paired to perfection with a black and white polka dot scarf, lacy turtleneck, and Josephine Baker-esque hair. His 26 mm De Ville Mini Trésor in full 18K Moonshine™ Gold completed the look without drawing too much attention, keeping things interesting with a mesh bracelet.
Paul Tazewell
Being the Oscar-winning costume designer he is, Paul Tazewell didn’t just help create the impeccable Met Gala suits of musicians Janelle Monáe and Chappell Roan—he came to the event ready to stun with his own polished ensemble. Tazewell wore pleated bottoms with a waist-length jacket, accessorized with a sparkling bow, pins on his lapel, and of course, Omega’s 42 mm Seamaster Diver 300M in stainless steel and 18K Yellow Gold with a black dial for gravitas.
