“We recently spoke to costume designer Whitney Anne Adams about Happy Death Day 2U and during that conversation she discussed her work as Brian Tyree Henry’s stylist. For the Emmys, she found Victorian vintage cufflinks bearing his initials, while at the Oscars it was a spiderweb design as a nod to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Also on the hardware front, she delivered on the spider theme pin, which goes perfectly with his black velvet Giorgio Armani tux jacket.”

“During this weekend’s 91st annual Oscars ceremony, it wasn’t all about the ladies and their festive red carpet gowns, Hollywood’s best male celebrities –including Stephan James, Billy Porter, Brian Tyree Henry and Jordan Peele— brought the fashion heat, too.”

“Exultant on the red carpet, the actor Brian Tyree Henry remarked a historic first: “Thirty-six black people nominated this year!” Mr. Henry was one of the few male performers to stray from a black-and-white uniform by wearing a colored and figured jacket that looked punishingly to be made of velvet, no picnic on a day when the temperatures in Hollywood topped 80 degrees.”

“The future of this jacket is so bright, the star of Atlanta had to wear shades. ”
