Damson Idris‘ look for Met Gala 2026 got the ultimate stamp of approval.
Before the F1 actor arrived to the star-studded gala—held at New York City’s The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 4—wearing a Prada ensemble and DIDRIS jewelry, he gave his mom Philippa Idris a sneak peek. (See every celeb at Met Gala 2026 here.)
“I was talking to her this morning, I was showing her the pieces, showing her the cufflinks,” Damson, whose DIDRIS line is an homage to his mom, shared in E!’s By Design as part of Live From E! Stream: Met Gala. “She loves it all.”
“She used to buy and sell gold in her 20s, and it was a dream of hers,” he noted. “So I’m picking up where she left off. As long as I’m making her proud through this, then I know I’m on the right path.”
As for his Prada ensemble? Damson shared the story behind their dynamic collaboration.
“We drew from the kind of custom looks that we did throughout the year of award season,” he explained, “which focused heavily on trench coats.”
