Underneath the jacket a black shirt collar could be spied - which was tucked into black trousers that had a cuff, which gathered the material into a narrow design around his ankles.
He wore chunky black boots that caught that glistened under the lights.
Richard's trademark grey streak was coiffed upwards and he left a touch of stubble on his chin.
His appearance comes after he said the industry should 'focus more on diversity and having everyone represented' in a candid interview with The Guardian's Weekend magazine.

Richard added that he firmly believes directors should cast 'the best actor for the role' - regardless of their personal life or sexual orientation.
He said: 'It's a really terrible route to go down if we start restricting people's casting based on their personal lives. We have to focus more on diversity and having everyone represented, but also I'm a firm believer in the best actor for the role.
The Met Gala is the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute and is the most glittery and exclusive event on the New York fashion calendar.

It is famous for attracting luminaries of Hollywood, of fashion, music, sports, TV and the stage for an evening of fashion and charity to mark the museum's spring exhibit.
This year, the exhibit and gala are dedicated to the idea of 'camp,' as defined by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay Notes on 'Camp.'
The Met Gala, formally known as the Costume Institute Benefit, is always chaired by a team of high-wattage celebrities, and this year is no exception.

So what exactly is 'camp'?
The museum's exhibition is based on 'Notes on Camp,' an essay written in 1964 by American author Susan Sontag.
'Camp is by nature subversive (...) confronting and challenging the status quo,' the Costume Institute's head curator Andrew Bolton said Monday at a press event about the exhibition before the gala.
'In the end, the purpose of camp is to put a smile on our faces and a warm glow in our hearts.'
Some of the items in the exhibition might best explain the theme: the 'swan dress' worn by Bjork to the Oscars, a glittering costume worn by flamboyant US singer Liberace, a shower head necklace designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld for Chloe in the 1980s.
