The campaign features monochrome stills of Mahershala Ali, Trevante Rhodes and Ashton Sanders, all looking drool worthy in the iconic black boxer briefs alongside a cameo of Alex Hibbert wearing the classic Calvin Klein t-shirt. Captured by photographer, Willy Vanderperre, the series marks the cast’s first fashion campaign. Throughout the years, Calvin Klein underwear has made impacting statements on ideal masculinity.

Each actor undeniably portrays Calvin Klein’s image of the bold and sensual man. Mahershala Ali, the first Muslim ever to win an Academy Award, is paused midway through removing his shirt. 21 year old Sanders, relaxes on a couch in boxer briefs and Trevante Rhodes confidently displays his athlete’s body to swooning fans. The campaign features the actors style profiles on the Calvin Klein Website.

Whether it be in front of a camera lens, on screen or in real life, the cast of ‘Moonlight’ illuminate, catching both the light and recognition they deserve.
