5 Times Met Gala Co-Chair Idris Elba Was the Hottest Ever

Idris Elba is stepping up his style game!

On Monday, the Star Trek Beyond actor will serve as a co-chair at fashion's biggest party, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Met Gala in New York City, with Taylor Swift. Joining them are Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and Apple's chief design officer, Jonathan Ive, as well as designers/honorary chairs Karl Lagerfeld, Nicolas Ghesquière and Miuccia Prada.

We have no doubts the 43-year-old father-of-two will slay at the Met Gala, as he's already impressed us with his red carpet looks year after year. Check out some of his most dapper ensembles below!

Back in February, Elba pulled out all the stops at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, stepping out to the red carpet in a gray tuxedo jacket and matching pants. He styled his handsome get-up with sunglasses, a black tie, plaid newsboy cap and tan leather shoes.

The navy blue suit Elba wore to the SAG Awards earlier this year gained him a spot on many best-dressed lists that night. His best accessory of all, however, was his 15-year-old daughter, Isan, who walked the red carpet with her famous father. "This is my beautiful daughter. She's my date today," the doting dad told ET at the time.

3. Keeping It Classy

Clad in a black tuxedo with matching frames, Elba was a clear style standout at the NAACP Image Awards in February 2014. Just two months later, he took to Twitter to announce the birth of his son, Winston, with his then-girlfriend Naiyana Garth.

4. Shades of Gray

Gray is definitely his color! Elba sported the hue on the red carpet again in November 2013 for a screening of Mandela: A Long Walk to Freedom, which was hosted by Wintour, U2 and Bob and Harvey Weinstein in New York City.

That same month, he turned heads again by donning a baby blue peacoat, which he styled with shiny loafers and black trousers, to the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards in London, England.

Elba isn't the only stylish dude our eyes will be peeled on at this year's Met Gala. A source tells ET that Jay Z will likely be attending the fashion extravaganza with his wife, Beyoncé, despite all the drama that's unfolded since the diva dropped Lemonade last weekend.
