Jharrel Jerome is no stranger to transformation—whether he’s embodying real-life icons in When They See Us, bringing powerful stories to life in Moonlight, or training like a champion for his latest role in Unstoppable. Now, he’s stepping into another major moment: the 2025 BAFTA Awards, where he’s nominated for the prestigious Rising Star Award. And, of course, he’s doing it in style.

Ahead of the big night, we follow along as Jharrel preps, fits, and finesses his custom Burberry look—because at awards season, it’s not just about winning. It’s about serving.

Thank you Burberry for this custom tux. Each piece was labeled like this and I’ve never seen such detail go into a look before a big an event. Felt special for sure!

Buttoning up—this picture doesn’t do justice to the crazy amount of crystals on this shirt. Crazy amounts of people complimenting it all night. 

Final phone check before we head out. Brought my video camera with to document the night. 

My perfect date for the night, and one of my favorite people—my manager, Perri. She’s been with me since Day 1. 

Arriving to the BAFTAs—not gonna lie, I felt great in this fit. Classic. 

More carpet business. 

Tattinger champagne was flowingggggg. Definitely needed before watching the show.

And lastly, getting some fresh air at the pre-reception overlooking London. 

Thank you Burberry and thanks to the BAFTAs for having me and nominating for the EE Rising Star Award. Can’t wait to come back soon.
