Further elegant touches were a Bulgari B.Zero1 rose gold ring with a black ceramic spiral and black Gucci Eyewear square-frame sunglasses.

In an interview for GQ, the actor/DJ delved deeper into his love for Gucci and fashion in general: “I have had a long-standing relationship with Gucci and love Alessandro‘s inspiration and vision with disturbing the norm. I feel like we share a sense of creativity that won’t be pigeonholed- we both constantly keep it moving.” […]

“As a creative, fashion is an additional way of expressing my creativity. It’s an extension of my personality.”

Jessica DeBruyne did Idris‘ makeup using S’ABLE Labs products, a skincare line founded by Sabrina and Idris Elba in 2020. DeBruyne also serves as the brand’s Chief Product Officer.
