Whether you were introduced to Jack Harlow through his early mixtapes or his hit single “What’s Poppin,” the musician has been quickly climbing the charts over the past few years. Undeniably, his rise to stardom can also be credited to to his red carpet charm — a blend of Gen Z confidence, his smooth talker persona, and a sartorial swagger that has fans gushing over his every move.
Whenever he steps in front of the camera, Harlow takes risks — whether that involves wearing an all-leather suit, dropping the L-bomb on an unsuspecting Emma Chamberlain, or showing up to the BET Awards in a Lil Nas X T-shirt (more on that ahead). Even a typical black suit is elevated beyond the basics, as Harlow often reaches for unique fabric choices and unexpected footwear.
Harlow’s stylist Metta Conchetta — who hails from Düsseldorf, Germany — has worked with the star on magazine covers, music videos, red carpet appearances, and more, making sure his suave-but-laid-back style translates to every area of his work. And she absolutely succeeds.
The White Men Can’t Jump star knows how to combine confidence with style, and the following red carpet looks are perfect examples of that cool-dude aura.

New York label Musika tends to be a favorite of the rapper. This wool, double-breasted suit jacket had just the right amount of flair, thanks to the black lapels and belted detailing.
