The drama of this year’s Academy Awards, namely that astounding mix-up at the end of the evening, might have only just subsided but the cast of Best Picture winner, Moonlight, are still on a major high. While they were probably celebrating somewhere in Hollywood, Calvin Klein (who dressed the male cast for the night) casually revealed their new underwear campaign starring Mahershala Ali, Alex Hibbert, Trevante Rhodes, and Ashton Sanders. The actors, three of which played the different ages of the movie’s main character Chiron, are featured in striking black-and-white photography, sporting similarly iconic pieces from Calvin’s underwear range.
Social media support from the label gives us a little more insight into the actors’ mindset and approach to fashion, which makes their rise from relative obscurity to Oscar-winners all the more profound.
