DJ Khaled looked perfectly dapper in his suit for the Oscars last night. The manicured music mogul put it quite simply: “If you want me to be honest, [the suit] makes me see what everyone else sees: icon,” says Khaled. The ensemble was custom created by Dolce & Gabbana and Khaled’s longtime fashion creative director of 17 years, Terrell Jones. Of course, getting to icon status isn’t necessarily easy.
”Suit or otherwise, this wouldn’t be fully a classic Khaled look without something shiny. He wore a hulking, diamond-encrusted, $3 million dollar timepiece from the famed jeweler Jacob & Co and a dazzling pinky ring akin to a small planet. “Suit from Milan, chandelier on the wrist—focused,” says Khaled.Khaled has been a longtime lover of fashion. Yet, he isn’t stuffy with his clothes, nor does he try to be a peacock.
