Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton and actor Colman Domingo led a celebrity-filled front row at a menswear show by the Ralph Lauren during Milan Fashion Week on Friday evening.

The American fashion house presented its latest menswear collection at its Milan palazzo for the second consecutive season, attracting a host of stars, including Henry Golding, Tom Hiddleston and Scott Eastwood.

Outside the venue, fans gathered despite soaring temperatures to catch a glimpse of the celebrities. Thai actor Nichakoon Khajornborirak and South Korean actor Kim Woo-bin greeted the crowd, posing for photographs and waving to admirers.

The collection showcased a wide range of styles, from formal pinstripe suits to more relaxed festival-inspired outfits.

Domingo described the show as having a strong 1920s influence, blending classic and contemporary elements.

The luxury Purple Label featured tailored suits that evolved into eveningwear, including tuxedo shirts and bow ties paired with distressed patchwork denim coats. Accessories included berets, aviator glasses and pocket-watch chains.

The more casual Polo collection highlighted colourful madras plaids, layered knitwear, rugby shirts and lightweight outerwear. Several looks reflected traditional preppy fashion, combining bright colours and featuring the iconic Polo Bear motif dressed in runway-inspired outfits.

"I saw beautiful cravats and vests mixed in with workwear, all the things I love about Ralph," Domingo said after the show, praising the collection's ability to blend urban and upscale influences.

Formal and casual styles gradually merged throughout the presentation, while the runway also featured an age- and race-inclusive cast.

Accessories played a key role in the collection, with silk scarves, colourful bandanas and ties repurposed as belts and bags, reflecting the growing trend toward reusability and upcycling.

Footwear ranged from leather fisherman sandals and velvet slippers to espadrilles and weather-resistant duck boots, while handbags included canvas totes and luxury snakeskin portfolios.

Eastwood said he was particularly drawn to one of the snakeskin bags and described Ralph Lauren as "a classy brand that's timeless."

Golding, meanwhile, said the fashion house had supported him throughout his career and described the Purple Label as his preferred choice for sophisticated attire.
