Trust him, he’s a doctor.
Ncuti Gatwa is a man of many faces. One of a handful of breakout stars from Netflix’s “Sex Education” — who also count “White Lotus” fan favorite Aimee Lou Wood among their ranks — the Rwandan-Scottish actor went on to appear in Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” before taking up the mantle of what is perhaps the BBC’s most iconic role, becoming the Fifteenth Doctor in “Doctor Who.”
After two seasons, Gatwa’s time in the TARDIS has apparently come to an end. But allow us to use this opportunity to point out just how much he’s been dominating the red carpet — in addition to dominating space and time.
Collaborating with stylist Felicity Kay — whose other clients include Lou Wood herself, and the ever-dashing “Gladiator II” star Paul Mescal — Gatwa has demonstrated an aptitude for making the styles of iconic fashion houses look completely his own. Take this Prada set for the British Vogue x GQ BAFTA Fashion & Film Party in February, which in Gatwa’s hands transforms from a classic, buttoned-up style to a perfect pairing with Tiffany & Co. bling. Shortly afterwards, Gatwa made an appearance at British fashion house Burberry’s winter 2025 show, keeping it cool in a leather jacket and trousers with a peek-a-boo zipper detail.
And if you felt tremors in the ground the week of March 24, that was Gatwa landing in New York before pulling out a succession of incredible looks while promoting “Doctor Who.” The actor appeared on “Good Morning America” in impeccable Prada and wore a playful denim set from designer Simone Rocha the same day. He then stepped out in canary yellow trousers from Etro, and concluded a busy couple of days in show-stopping, velvet Valentino with a ruff collar for an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
No round-up would be complete without mentioning Gatwa’s custom togs for the 2025 Met Gala: a rich purple suit courtesy of British-Ghanaian tailor extraordinaire Ozwald Boateng. And while we have your attention, we might as well mention that we loved the actor’s third Prada look in recent history, this one a bright white camisole and pants, with an effortlessly draped denim jacket overtop.
