Tyriq Withers is staying booked and busy! The actor’s latest appearance? The 2026 Met Gala red carpet. He just made his debut on fashion’s biggest night in a full Louis Vuitton by Pharrell Williams look.

Withers wore a sheer black top with black pants, a cummerbund, and a black trench featuring crystal embellishments throughout for the “Fashion Is Art” dress code honoring the new exhibition theme “Costume Art.” He completed the look with black shoes. For accessories, he styled the look with a small Louis Vuitton bag and diamond earrings.

The look was a perfect for his first time at the Met Gala. “I've never really shown my body on the red carpet… so I think it's a little more vulnerable,” Withers told Teen Vogue on the red carpet. “I'm excited but nervous."

Withers has been spotted at a few of the biggest events lately. He attended Coachella last month, where he was a surprise guest during PinkPantheress’s set as her Romeo, both weekends. For weekend one, he looked like the quintessential lead in a romance film with a fitted Henley top and tan pleated pants and a darker belt. For weekend two, he went for chic minimalism, wearing a tan jacket, white top, and black slacks.

And just before jetting off to New York City for the Met Gala, Withers made a pit stop in Miami for the F1 Grand Prix. He wore not one but two Louis Vuitton looks there. For his first look, he sported a cream-colored bowling shirt with the classic monogram logo on the pocket, styling it with simple black trousers and black suede shoes. He completed the look with a trendy slim watch.

The next day, Withers got a bit more experimental. He wore a tan suede jacket, also repping the Louis Vuitton monogram on the pocket. He paired it with a white top and paint-stained khaki shorts. For an extra-fun finishing touch, he wore bright orange cowboy boots.

With all these back-to-back looks, it makes sense that Withers would take his chic, cool personal style to the next level by showing it off on the Met Gala red carpet. Will he also have an after-party look? Stay tuned!
