This venture into the fashion industry aligns with Idris’s growing presence in the sector. In November 2023, he was unveiled as the latest menswear brand ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger, showcasing the brand’s newest collections at the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Idris expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting a strong connection with Tommy Hilfiger and a shared vision for style.
Idris’s foray into fashion is further exemplified by his appearance at the 2024 Met Gala, where he donned a Prada suit complemented by a Bulgari flower lapel pin, adhering to the event’s “The Garden of Time” theme. His involvement in high-profile fashion events and collaborations underscores his expanding influence beyond acting, marking a significant evolution in his multifaceted career.
