Darren Crisscame to the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards ready to shut down the red carpet.

And he might have done just that.

The actor, 37, showed up to the fashionable event wearing a fuchsia tulle skirt with flower detail and a cropped black tuxedo jacket — and not much else. He left his chest and abs on display and posed for photos with designer Christian Siriano, who designed his outfit for the evening.

Criss, who is currently starring inMaybe Happy Endingon Broadway, has been known to push the boundaries with his style, wearing daring patterns and bright colors, including this black and white polka-dot shirt he rocked at Elsie Fest in September that featured red and white trim and floral detailing.

He’s also worn plenty of brightly colored and patterned suits for events, even wearing a golden suit for Siriano’s most recent Fashion Week presentation. This one also featured a cropped jacket that he wore with no shirt underneath, again showing off his toned abs and plenty of skin. Much like at the CFDA Fashion Awards, Criss also rocked a chain necklace for an accessory.
