I want to be aware of myself that I am not a nominated while looking like good and chic,” he said. “I want to be attentive to the reason why I was invited to the function. But, of course, I want to look better than all the other guys there … Duh. We went with this very chic brown suit with this subtle lace detail. I think it was a great way to introduce yourself, but not too much attention.”
