Colman Domingo’s boots were made for walking — on the red carpet!
At the96th annual Academy Awardson Sunday, Domingo — who isnominated for Best Actorfor his performance inRustin— once again raised the bar for men’s red carpet fashion in a chic Louis Vuitton look with a Western twist.
TheEuphoriastar, 54, hit theOscarsred carpet in a black, double-breasted suit complete with intricate buttons and trousers that flared over a pair of chic, steel-toe cowboy boots.
“I wanted to just shine like a diamond,” the actor told E! of the inspiration behind his look.
And shine he did. Continuing his maximalist streak, Domingo added even more bling, including a dazzling brooch bow tie, David Yurman jewelry and a watch from Omega.

According the actor, Naegle wanted him to have some of Rustin’s jewelry. “I chose this in particular, which is an agate,” he toldET. “It’s so beautiful. It makes a lot of sense. I feel like I’ll keep this for a long time.”
Domingo’s Oscar nomination forRustin, in which he portrays the titular activist, is a career first.
As award season kicked off earlier this year, the actor — who also gave a critically acclaimed performance inThe Color Purplelast year — told PEOPLE,“I recognize that I’m having a moment.”
Should he take home a statuette, Domingo said it will go right next to the Emmy he earned for hisEuphoriaperformance.
“I like it in an enclosed space. I can’t walk into my house and feel like, oh, I’m Emmy Award-winner Colman Domingo,” he told PEOPLE, adding, “I look up from my desk and I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s beautiful.'”
