Idris Elba: purple and “proppa”

Idris Elba was photographed at Heathrow yesterday just 3 days after being awarded the Order of the British Empire. It was a big day for him and his family, obviously. And I love the colour selection for the occasion:

Purple.

It’s the colour of royalty, non?

I mean, sh-t, there is nothing low class about this:

And we’re not even done here. Royalty is purple…and gold. Which is what his ma was repping:

Man, if he ages anything like her, we’re going to get to enjoy this for a long, long time.
