Adam Lambert embodied rock n’ roll on the red carpet for the 2023 LA LGBT Gala.
While at the Fairmont Century Plaza for the occasion in Los Angeles, Calif. on Saturday night, Lambert arrived with partner Oliver Gliese. For the occasion, the former “American Idol” star wore a stormy gray double-breasted blazer and matching trousers, each covered in a black spotted leopard print. Lambert opted to wear the set sans-shirt for added edge.
The “For Your Entertainment” singer’s ensemble was given a burst of glamour from gleaming diamond stud earrings, as well as layered rings and silver and purple eyebrow crystals.
When it came to footwear, Lambert finished his outfit with a slick set of heeled boots. The “High Drama” musician’s shoes were crafted from smooth black leather, featuring rounded toes and tall upper shafts. The set was finished with thick platform soles and rectangular block heels, providing Lambert with a dramatic height boost. The style was similar to other height-boosting pairs that have grown in popularity in the menswear world, seen in new collections from brands including Syro, Steve Madden and Harry Hamlin.
