Charles Melton made a chic statement on the red carpet for this year’s Unforgettable Gala.

On Saturday, the “May December” star hit the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton for the occasion in a sharp all-black outfit — which was smoothly finished by Bode’s signature House shoes. Melton’s $690 style featured a round-toed silhouette with smooth black uppers and low heels, inspired by the relaxed nature of indoor house shoes.

Melton’s easygoing shoes brought a contemporary, modern take to the classic slip-on loafer with their formal appearance and minimalist shape. However, the style also similarly added a formal base to the actor’s attire for the occasion, streamlining it with a clean finish.

Indeed, Melton leaned into dark hues while hitting the red carpet in a jet-black ensemble styled by Samantha McMillen. The “Riverdale” star’s attire prominently featured a sharply collared black blazer with a cinched side tie, creating an elegant silhouette atop wide Isabel Marent trousers. Melton’s look was complete with gleaming Anita Ko earrings, providing him with a dash of glamour for the occasion.
