Benny Drama Embraces Parisian Glamour at Dior Men’s Show

Comedian and actor Benito Skinner, better known as Benny Drama, brought his signature blend of humor and style to the Dior Men’s fall 2025 show in Paris. Despite battling jet lag that had him awake at 4 a.m. consuming chocolate biscuits in the dark, Skinner recovered with breakfast at Carette and a visit to the newly reopened Notre Dame Cathedral before the highly anticipated fashion event.

For the show, Skinner channeled his inner Cary Grant, working with stylist Brady Lea to achieve the classic Hollywood look. His everyday aesthetic strikes a unique balance between Americana and whimsy, streetwear and formalwear—a sensibility that aligned perfectly with designer Kim Jones’s vision for the collection.

Why Skinner Loves Kim Jones’s Dior Vision

“Kim’s blend of masculine pieces with the feminine DNA and silhouettes of Christian Dior is my heaven,” Skinner enthused. He particularly praised the pairing of sneakers with suits and bows, calling it exactly why he loves Jones’s work at the luxury house.

A Perfect Parisian Itinerary

Beyond the fashion show, Skinner revealed his ideal Paris day involves long dinners with “at least six beverages” ranging from sparkling water to Coke Zero, and afternoon museum visits before Los Angeles wakes up. He was joined in Paris by boyfriend Terrence O’Connor, though he dreams of returning with O’Connor’s mother, who regularly appears in his comedy sketches. Their imagined agenda? Shopping for scarves together, splitting espresso martinis, and letting her “run this town” with her fresh bob.
