Damson Idris Shares Mom’s Reaction to Designs

Damson Idris‘ search for Met Gala 2026 acquired the final word stamp of approval.

Before the F1 actor arrived to the star-studded gala—held at New York City’s The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 4—sporting a Prada ensemble and DIDRIS jewellery, he gave his mother Philippa Idris a sneak peek. (See every celeb at Met Gala 2026 here.)

“I was talking to her this morning, I was showing her the pieces, showing her the cufflinks,” Damson, whose DIDRIS line is a homage to his mother, shared on E!’s By Design as a part of Live From E! Stream: Met Gala. “She loves it all.”

“She used to buy and sell gold in her 20s, and it was a dream of hers,” he famous. “So I’m picking up where she left off. As long as I’m making her proud through this, then I know I’m on the right path.”

As for his Prada ensemble? Damson shared the story behind their dynamic collaboration.

“We drew from the kind of custom looks that we did throughout the year of award season,” he defined, “which focused heavily on trench coats.”
