Ever since Tyriq Wither’s standout performance in “Him,” the young actor has proven himself to be a bona fide movie star. In a career shorter than most peers’, Withers has already secured three award nominations — two from the NAACP Image Awards and one from the Black Reel Awards — and has graced the cover of magazines around the world. His last project, “Reminders of Him,” shattered pre-release expectations, bringing in over $18 million in its debut. Now, basking in his well-earned standing in Hollywood, Withers took VMAN along as he geared up for a big night at a historic location: the 2026 Academy Gala.

“Picking out the finishing touches! We went with a Cartier Roadster watch, Trinity
jewelry, and Double C de Cartier cufflinks to complete the look.”

“Big decisions this evening.“

“Suiting up.“

“Jason Bolden and I wanted to go for a timeless and contemporary look for the Academy
Gala.”

“My full look for the night.”

“A closer look at the details of my Dunhill suit.”

“I love rounding out a red carpet look with accessories. I always want my personal style
to come across in all I do.”

“Taking in the LA sunshine before we head out for the evening.”
