(Credit: Getty Images) On a night known for fashion risks and unforgettable statements, Damson Idris claimed the crown for the most jaw-dropping moment of the 2025 Met Gala. With the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" setting the tone, the British actor didn't just walk the red carpet — he raced into the spotlight, delivering a theatrical, high-octane fashion reveal that has since been hailed as 'the best reveal of the entire night.' Damson Idris channels F1 speed and Met Gala glam in eye-catching outfit switch Arriving like a Formula 1 champion, Damson Idris stepped onto the iconic Met steps in a fully suited APXGP racing outfit, a nod to his upcoming film F1 where he stars alongside Brad Pitt. But what truly sent shockwaves through the crowd and across social media was the transformation that followed. In one smooth motion, his glittering racing suit—complete with a helmet adorned with 20,000 Swarovski crystals—was ripped away to unveil a striking, custom-made Tommy Hilfiger tuxedo. The sharp, tailored rouge ensemble, patterned in classic Tommy Tartan plaid, not only honored the theme but also embodied the perfect blend of style and storytelling. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Intel Laptops + 1:1 Support for Your Team Lenovo Pro Benefits Learn More Undo Damson, 33, wasn't just attending — he was making a statement, both as an actor and as a muse. 'We're excited to partner with the highly anticipated film, 'F1,'' said Tommy Hilfiger. 'Damson Idris stars as Joshua Pierce, a driver for the fictional APXGP team, and we wanted his Met Gala entrance to reflect the same cinematic energy.' And that it did — merging the speed of sport with the sophistication of fashion in a way rarely seen at the Met. The appearance also reunited Idris with seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton , co-chair of this year's gala and a key producer of F1. 'There's no better person to teach you about F1 than Lewis Hamilton,' Idris shared during a candid moment at an IWC event. 'They put me behind the wheel… but it's unlike anything that we're doing right now.' Hamilton, whose past Met Gala initiatives brought Black designers into the limelight, reflected on the honor of co-chairing: 'We were in London, and [Anna Wintour] told me the theme. And I was so, so excited. And then she asked me to be the co-chair… I couldn't believe it—I was like, 'I'm gonna say no?'' With F1 hitting theaters on June 27, Damson Idris is racing ahead in both fashion and film. If his Met Gala reveal is any hint, audiences should expect nothing short of a thrilling ride.

Lego Has Some Big Formula 1-Themed Plans for 2025
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Last year, Lego and Formula 1 announced a multi-year partnership that would include several new F1-themed products; for the first time, all 10 teams would be represented across the Lego portfolio. That was exciting news, but it turns out it was only the tip of the iceberg. Now, with the start of the 75th anniversary season of Formula 1 just weeks away, Lego has announced a comprehensive plan to celebrate the sport — one that goes far beyond new products. On February 27, Lego announced that in addition to the Lego Formula 1 sets, they would be offering at-race activities, digital content and experiences both in retail and at Legoland Discovery Centers and Lego Discovery Centers globally. As part of the push, there will be Lego Fan Zones at 13 F1 races this year, where fans can enjoy make and take builds, photo opportunities and a chance to see the entire Lego Formula 1 product range for the first time. Plus, at 20 races, there will be pop-up Lego stores that will sell Formula 1 Lego products from the numerous collections offered by the brand. On top of that, various Lego stores around the world will also take part in the celebration with race-themed experiences, including a Lego Formula 1 poster giveaway and a free steering wheel-building activity for kids to take home. 'We have a wide range of immersive and creative experiences for fans and families to dive into throughout the entire year, and we can't wait to get started,' said Federico Begher, senior vice president of new businesses at the Lego Group. Kids can visit to test their racing skills in the Lego world. There will also be a series of livestreams at where fans can learn all about the Lego Group and Formula 1 partnership and all it will offer in 2025. The first live stream was held on March 1. During that livestream, the company even dropped news of a new sweepstakes for Lego Insiders: the grand prize is a trip for two to either the Spanish or British Grand Prix. Who knows? Maybe they'll be giving away other trips in subsequent streams. You Might Also Like You Need a Torque Wrench in Your Toolbox Tested: Best Car Interior Cleaners The Man Who Signs Every Car
