Tyrese Gibson turned heads with his bold fashion choices, particularly his eye-catching footwear, at the Los Angeles premiere of “1992” at Regal LA Live on August 27. The “Fast & Furious” star arrived in a chic tan suit with striking red accents, but it was his choice of velvet loafers by JITAI that took his look to the next level.

The dark red loafers, adorned with intricate embellishments, added a luxurious touch to his ensemble and made a strong statement on the red carpet. The combination of rich velvet texture and detailed design showcased Gibson’s fearless approach to fashion and made him stand out from the crowd.

Gibson was joined at the event by his Fast & Furious co-stars Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez, who both chose shoes that reflected their signature style. Diesel, known for his tough attitude, wore black combat boots that perfectly complemented his rugged outfit. His ensemble consisted of a black bomber jacket over a black T-shirt, paired with grey jeans, resulting in a look that was both functional and stylish. The combat boots, with their thick sole and rugged design, added an extra layer of grit to his appearance. He completed the look with black sunglasses.

Rodriguez, meanwhile, underlined her edgy aesthetic with a sleek, all-black look. She paired tight leather leggings with a black top and leather jacket, and completed the ensemble with knee-high black boots. The boots, with their sharp lines and subtle shine, gave her a touch of ruggedness and elegance, perfectly complementing her casual image.

Together, the trio showcased a mix of bold and classic styles, with Tyrese Gibson’s velvet loafers providing a striking contrast to his co-stars’ more understated but equally stylish footwear. Their shoes not only reflected their individual personalities, but also demonstrated their willingness to make a statement on the red carpet.

The trio has starred together in the Fast & Furious films since the first film in 2001. Since then, a total of 12 films have been released, and the franchise has become one of the most successful of all time. As of August 2024, the franchise has grossed more than $7 billion worldwide, making it Universal’s biggest franchise and the seventh most successful film series of all time.
