Erivo’s partner, Lena Waithe, has a style that leans more towards the masculine side of fashion. So when it’s time to dress up for an upscale event, she often chooses a tuxedo. The Queen and Slim creator has worn many suits, ranging from solid black and neutral tones to brighter colors. She’s also sported suits with patterns like flowers and stripes.
The Tory Burch suit she wore at the 2019 Met Gala fit the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” theme. While the suit was black, it was far from the standard black suit. For starters, all three pieces of the outfit were made of leather, with the jacket being more of a trench coat. The look was fully embroidered with flowers in vibrant red, yellow, orange, and light blue.
