Benjamin Walker continued his streak of standout costumes at the New York premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
The actor, who plays Gil-galad in the Prime Video prequel series, attended Tuesday night’s premiere wearing a brown Kente-patterned suit by UK-based label Ozwald Boateng. Walker wore the suit over a white button-down shirt. His look was styled by styling duo Zadrian Smith and Sarah Edmiston.
Walker joined actors Emma Horvath, Mofydd Clark, Nazanin Boniadi and Sophia Nomvete, among others, on the red carpet.

This is Walker’s latest appearance on the red carpet during the Rings of Power press tour. Earlier this month, he attended the series premiere in Los Angeles wearing a Dior navy wool suit and attended the series premiere in Mexico wearing a pale yellow suit by the London-based tailor The Anderson & Sheppard Shops.
Ahead of the Los Angeles premiere, Walker spoke to WWD about the role, saying, “It’s really incredible,” he said. “My first impression was, man, I need to get a bigger TV. It’s epic. We spent so much time away from our families and away from our home and places of comfort that to do so well was really nice and I’m really proud of everyone [involved].”
He also talked about his character’s costumes on the show.
“Gil-galad in the play has this kind of golden corset. And when you put it on, you can’t help but stand up straight and almost fly, like an elf,” he said. “The same is true of a good suit.”
