Red and black suit jacket designed by Tony Chase and worn by Kevin Owens in performances with Luther Vandross. The body of the jacket is red and is covered with wavy strands of thin, red beads, which were sewn on. The jacket has a black collar and black lapels, as well as two black buttons near the center of the jacket. The shoulders and sleeves are covered in black and clear beads in geometric designs. The beads are different shapes and sizes, and so are the designs. There are beaded tassels in four areas near the top of the jacket. There is a black button in the center of the jacket and there are two black jetted pockets, one on each hip. The inside of the jacket is lined in black with a small repeating design of an oval with a horizontal line across the center.
