Lenny Kravitz might be at the movies' biggest night, but he’s going to bring his signature musician swagger.
The58-year-old fashion icon, who is performing during the In Memoriam segment of Sunday’s Oscars 2023 ceremony, swapped a tuxedo for a ’70s-inspired silk jumpsuit onthe Oscars2023 red carpet. Kravitz’s Saint Laurent ensemble featured a plunging silk top highlighting his toned chest, and wide-legged trousers with a wide cummerbund.
He paired pointy black boots with the flared pants and topped off the groovy look with a pair of black sunglasses and variety of silver chains and large silver crucifix.
